We're back for a new season, kicking off with one of England's most decorated clubs, Arsenal FC.

What do these perennial trophy winners have to moan about exactly? Plenty, as it happens.

We talk about the pain of that 1999 FA Cup Semi Final, heartbreak in Paris, the tragedy of David 'Rocky' Rocastle and a whole lot of needless Spurs bashing.

Graham Goodkind is a Public Relations veteran and successful entrepreneur. He also used to be James' boss. - @goodkind

It's our first ever bonus episode - looking at 'It's Always Us' moments from particular fixtures.

And where else would we start other than the North London Derby.

We talk power shifts, dodgy lasagnes, Sol Campbell's betrayal, moving from Woolwich, Spurs players diving and the real life impact of the 91 FA Cup semi-final.

Can City fans be truly happy or are they forever damaged by what's come before? Are the football Gods just waiting to take it all away again? We talk about the ups and downs of supporting 'the noisy neighbours,' wearing humiliation as a badge of honour, Old Trafford robberies, Champions League woes and why City are the complete football club.

WHERE ARE YOU??! A famous quote from the club's owner, or the cries of the Carrow Road faithful when the floodlights went out? Our guests help us unpack this and other Norwich-related mysteries such as why did Grant Holt not get picked for England in 2012, how did a 13 year-old kid force the chief exec to resign and why was Ricky van Wolfswinkel so crap?

The biggest points deduction in Football League history, disastrous finances and arguably one of the worst owners of all time, who ran a phone-in to pick their next manager. Top that off with a dose of missing out on European football through no fault of their own and we've got the ingredients of a classic It's Always Us.

We're Back!

Huddersfield once surprised the world and their own fans by reaching the Premier League and surviving against all odds, only to crash back to reality. From poorly thought-out publicity stunts, to rookie managers and ballsed up transfers, the Terriers have often been the architects of their own downfall. Throw in a Martin Atkinson refereeing horror show and a dodgy handball hundreds of miles away to seal relegation, and you've got the recipe for some classic It's Always Us moments.
