The CannonStats Podcast is back looking at the news on Bukayo Saka that he might nursing an Achilles injury. Unsurprisingly Mikel Areta has downplayed the severity but that doesn’t mean people still aren’t worried about it. Here is what he said in his press conference: He’s fine. He trained normally today so nothing to report there. Every player has pains or issues. That’s normal in elite sports, but nothing to worry about. With the news coming out Adam took a look at what that means for his min...

It’s an international break but that doesn’t mean that the coverage of Arsenal needs to stop. In the latest episode, Adam and Scott talk about the Ramsdale vs Raya debate and when we might see David Raya make his first appearance for Arsenal. There is a report in the Daily Mail (YMMV here on believability) that Raya might be due for a run in the first team : "Mail Sport understands Gunners head coach Mikel Arteta is giving serious consideration to giving Raya, a loan arrival from Brentford , a p...

TRANSFERS! Or more precisely the lack thereof. That is how the end of the transfer window has gone for Arsenal and has caused people to go into a tizzy with the overall squad. So that seems like a job for the stats guys to take the cold hard rational look at things and grade how the window went for Arsenal. After the break things switch to looking at the draw for the Champions League. Arsenal drew what looks to be a group on the easier side with Sevilla, PSV, and RC Lens. Adam breaks things down...

In the second half of the show, they talk about the article written looking at the idea that fans like to dwell on that certain players got away or could have come cheap years previously if only [insert excuse] hadn’t h...

The big topic today in Arsenal land is dealing with the Jurriën Timber injury. Mikel Arteta was asked about and had this to say: "I am more thinking about the resources that we have within the team to keep doing what we want to do.

There is no shortage of talking points with Arsenal right now. The team is unbeaten in 12 matches and hasn’t lost in over two months, but they have drawn 3 in a row to see the margin of error evaporate in the title race. The team is missing the first and most likely second choice right back, causing cascading issues around the field as they try and cope. On the horizon is the big bad villain of Manchester City, casting a long shadow, getting everyone thinking about how to cope. That’s the main f...
