Daily Cannon Arsenal Podcast

Matthew and Stephen join forces to try to get their heads round the implications of the latest (and by far the biggest in financial terms) nation state buying their chunk of the sport we love.

Stephen Bradley sits in again for Matthew this week, as the dust begins to settle from Arsenal's 1-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend. He's joined by Lana Dawood to go over Mikel Arteta's game management, whether Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the right centre-forward for Arsenal's play-style, and discuss if Arsenal should be looking for a new manager if they lose to Benfica on Thursday evening.

Matthew is joined by Lana & Paul for another bumper pod. We look back at the win against Leeds, consider front-line configurations and look forward to the battle with Benfica. We also tackle the scourge of social media abuse, come to the defence of Hector Bellerin, and allow Lana to get excited about Lacazette's next steps...

After his epic soliloquy last week, Matthew Wade decided to give his voice a rest this week and let Stephen Bradley take the helm. Stephen is joined by Anita Sambol and Lana Dawood, and they discuss if whether time is beginning to run out for Mikel Arteta after Arsenal's 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa. With the topic of online abuse towards referees and players in the news again, Lana and Anita both illustrate their experiences with being targeted online, and whether there is any way of bringing an end to such a prevalent practice.

Matthew, Anita & Paul talk (at length!) about the draw against Man Utd, the controversial defeat against Wolves, and what we should take from both matches. Plus we discuss deadline day departures, the sudden upswing in Pepe's form, and Matthew has his mic drop moment explaining exactly why so much of the discussion about David Luiz's red card is fundamentally flawed.

Matthew and Anita look back on the double competition double header at Southampton, discuss selection options and welcome the new loan arrivals. Plus we answer your questions and look forward to (hopefully) doing the double over United.

A full house as Matthew, Anita, Stephen and special guest Lana bask in the warm glow of the second half performance against Newcastle. We discuss why Smith-Rowe has had such an impact, the revitalisation of Lacazette, and what the hell is going on with Nicolas Pepe. Plus, possibly for the last time in a while, we have the Mesut Ozil conversation, where Lana gives us an impassioned reminder of why his departure is the best thing for the club.

Stephen Bradley is back for Daily Cannon with a much more enjoyable game to analyse, looking at how Arsenal beat Newcastle United 3-0 on Monday night. Listen to the audio of what he had to say here or watch the video at this link. What did Mikel Arteta change at half-time to take Arsenal from dour to delectable? How important is Emile Smith Rowe to this side? So. Many. Questions. Join Stephen as he dissects why Arsenal were more effective in breaking down Newcastle's defence as opposed to Crystal Palace's last Thursday, how Emile Smith-Rowe might be about to save Mikel Arteta a lot of money, and why copying someone else's homework is never a good idea. Ever.

Matthew and Paul look back at the FA Cup victory over Newcastle and the thrilling draw against Crystal Palace, and are reminded that the green shoots of progress are just that. We talk about the stand-ins failing their audition, Tierney's absence, the impending return of Partey Time, and try to work out how we feel about the Ozil era. 

Matthew and Paul enjoy the forgotten feeling of three wins in a row and positive goal difference, while celebrating the return of beautiful football. Plus we discuss just how good Kieran Tierney has been as an attacking force, why ESR is making everyone better (and why Ozil is so happy about it), and the first stirrings of the January Transfer Window hokey-cokey.

A happier podcast (with new & improved sound quality!) this week as Matthew is joined by Anita and Paul to bask in the long forgotten glow of a league win. We talk the impact of youth, how we exploited the flanks, and why Chelsea's transfer business makes even less sense than ours. Plus we try to chart where are on the Xhaka damnation/redemption arc and answer your questions.

On this week's Daily Cannon Arsenal podcast, Matthew is joined by Anita to review more of the same at Goodison Park, and look for any points of progress. We look at the big picture, what needs to happen behind the scenes, and consider whether this 'crisis' represents a long needed reality check. Plus we tackle your questions, both serious and less so!

On this week's podcast, Matthew is joined by Paul to take stock after another painful couple of home games..  Discipline, unity, the midfield and technical limitations are put under the microscope, as we wonder if the worst is past. Plus we answer your questions and peer towards the faint light of shedding dead weight in the summer.

A full house as @lomekian is joined by @rockthecasbah77, @arsenaloFka & @S_Jamet to analyse the defeat at Spurs, and look to the Europa League for inspiration. Plus we have a happier Arsenal Women update, try to convince ourselves the unthinkable won't happen, and are reminded that laughter always helps....

Following another home defeat @lomekian & @rockthecasbah77 ponder the Arsenal puzzle: Is it the players, the tactics, the coach or all three?  They also discuss what can be done without new signings, what do we have to hope for, and why concussion substitutes aren't already in use.

On this week's podcast, Matthew and Stephen look back at the disappointment, but not despair of drawing at Leeds, do their best to diagnose the lack of goals and suggest some remedies. Plus we look ahead to upcoming fixtures and have a peek in the cupboard marked 'internal solutions'.

On this week's podcast, Matthew and Anita ask what lessons can be learned from the Molde and Aston Villa games, look at line up options and try to square the circle of Arsenal's squad.  Plus we answer your questions, practice our Hungarian pronunciation, and wish international breaks were just for the under 21's.

This week, @lomekian is joined by @arsenaloFka  and @bradley08  to look back at a good run out for the squad players against Dundalk and a long overdue comfortable win at Old Trafford.  Plus we discuss Arteta's evolving tactics, why Ozil's absence IS for football reasons, and look forward to Molde and Aston Villa at home.

@lomekian is joined by @arsenaloFka and special guest @AFCMet to work out how full or empty the glass from Sunday's game was, wonder if Rapid Vienna provided the template Brendan Rogers nicked, and try to work out how to add creativity without going in to Ozil territory.  Plus we discuss the German's cheerleading, school dinners service and another German's rather popular contract rejection. 

Matthew and Anita brush over the international break, wonder what to make of the defeat to City and take comfort from an increasingly bonkers start to the Premier League. Plus we discuss how we might start scoring goals again and why Ozil can't fix things, no matter how much we miss his left foot. ATTENTION!
