What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast is one of the best Arsenal podcasts I’ve listened too!! I’m a lifetime long gunner and this gives the technical insight and the thoughts of true gunners!!! I’ve listened to every episode for over a year and half now and it doesn’t disappoint my brother has also started listening to it I’ve always been impressed with the content and the team!!!

Lilly the gunner · Aug 2026

I live in the U.S. and became an Arsenal fan a few years ago. Shortly after, I discovered Handbrake Off and it quickly became my favorite podcast. I listen to every episode. Ian, Amy, and all the guests are world class. The pod has given me even greater appreciation for not only Arsenal, but also EPL in general.

there are so many options these days when it comes to arsenal podcasts and analysis, but this one is special. levelheaded, joyful when the going is good, cathartic when it’s bad. thanks handbrake off <3

A feel good, insightful, and joyful part of my week. If you’re looking for a more positive gooner experience compared to the aggressive negativity that is easily found, you will find no better Arsenal pod. They are there for the highs and the lows. A great addition to incorporate in your week.
