Cannon Fodder

Back to winning ways in the league for Arsenal with a 3-0 home win over Newcastle. Arsenal put in a much more convincing 90 minutes than in the FA Cup this go around, and a dazzling display saw Arteta's men up into the top half of the table going into a very difficult run of games. We talk about the return of Thomas Partey and how transformational he can be for an already improving midfield, as we...

And back down to earth with a disappointing draw, at home to Crystal Palace. Some familiar failings in this one, and a few players showing their bad sides. All in all one thing is for sure, Arsenal look better when they move the ball quicker! We're lookin at you David Luiz...Tune in and give the show a rating on Itunes if you haven't already, we love our listeners who have done that more than the...

Another day another win. Why do we even bother anymore? Arsenal are obviously storming back to win the league the second half of this season! In all seriousness, we talk some players who shone brightly in this Lovely FA Cup win over the mighty (and boring) Newcastle; as well as some players who had a chance to stake a claim to some more game-time, and didnt take the opportunity. We also talk some...

Another win, and this was a big one! Well two wins I suppose. We quickly touch on the mid-week Brighton game before diving into the beauty that was that West Brom game. We discuss Smith-Rowe's continued influence over this team, and how its rubbing off on those around him. Also, that Tierny goal, come on. Oh and what about that Saka goal?!? Lovely to have some beautiful and effective football back...

Happy 10th episode! Arsenal have won! Hallelujah! It's been a foreign feeling as of late, but my god, is it good to have it back. We talk lineup, and how the injection of youth shaped this game. But not just youth. Youth & quality! Merry late Christmas. Lets see if the boys can build on this one.

Here we go, here we go, here we go AGAIN. Another day another loss. Excuse the rambling and scattered nature of this one, we're a bit at a loss. Never have Arsenal had such a terrible run of form, but we try and make sense of it nonetheless. Or at least admit that theres no sense to be made. We'll get through this, Arsenal will get through this...I think. 

Welcome to a new episode of Cannon Fodder! A new episode where we talk about much of the same from Arsenal, unfortunately. We talk about the heart-ache that is supporting Arsenal at the moment, touch on the Xhaka red-card incident, and wonder where the hell we go from here. Join and mourn with us, it's got to get better at soon! The few listens we get on this pod are all thats keep us going right...

Boy oh boy. A shorter one, because theres not too much else to say these days. Arsenal lose again, away to Tottenham, in a particularly annoying display. Are the footballing god's torturing us, or are these problems solvable? Is it a bit of both? Listen up for some hot takes, and suffer with us as Arsenal surely have to shake off this poor form soon. 

Strap in for this one. Arsenal are in a bad way after losing 2-1 to Wolverhampton Wanderers, and we're here to help you (mainly us) through it. We touch on the actual game, before getting stuck into a few deeper lying issues we sense at the club. Are we struggling on the pitch due to personnel, or is the honeymoon period with Arteta, his rigid tactics, and beautiful lego hair, coming to an end? Gi...

Arsenal drew 0-0 against Leeds, in a disappointing away trip. Unfortunately it was disappointing in all too familiar ways. We discuss that frustration, a few ideas for what Arteta might do to fix it, and how much of a legend Kieran Tierney is fast becoming. Give it a listen, and we'll all try and stay calm amidst a season thats growing in frustration, week by week. Lord knows some Arsenal fans hav...

We look back at the lovely lovely away win to Man United. We talk about midfield and defensive control, and how the spine of this team looks top quality, even if our chance creation/execution in the final third still could use some work. But this pod is about the positives on a day to remember; hopefully one we can all revel in for days/weeks/seasons to come. Get in lads!

Unfortunately in this one we break down Arsenals 1-0 loss at home to Leicester. We discuss a promising first half and a frustrating second half that saw Arsenal create very little, and get sucker punches by Jamie Vardy. We discuss some potential mental blocks with this team and Arteta's influence on that, as well as asking what the hell is wrong with Lacazette. Join us and let's suffer together.

Arsenal fell away to Manchester City 1-0. We talk the frustrating bits, the encouraging bits, and some things to hopefully look forward to. We're still team Arteta, but realize he has some growing to do. Beyond that we discuss the Premier League roster announcement, Mesut Ozil himself, and the games/schedule to come.

We look back at the Liverpool league and league cups games, as well as the Sheffield United Game - one that came with some interesting formation changes. We save the best for last with some chat about the signing of Thomas Partey, and how we feel about the general trajectory of our club after a weird COVID transfer window. Excuse the technical difficulties, and our lateness at getting this one out...
