In this week’s podcast, 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 also talk about the stand-ins failing their audition, Kieran Tierney’s absence, the impending return of Partey Time, and try to work out how we feel about the Ozil era.

Don’t forget to leave a review (and send questions for next week’s pod to @DailyCannon)
