Will Arsenal get a new captain?

When Granit Xhaka was appointed Arsenal club captain he seemed destined to break the current captain’s curse but it seems the black magic is strong in this one.

On this week’s Daily Cannon Arsenal podcast, Matthew and Anita spent some time talking about Unai Emery and Granit Xhaka and how the manager seems to have really dropped his captain in it.

Arsenal aren’t planning to take disciplinary action against Granit Xhaka for his actions in Sunday’s game against Crystal Palace, according to reports.

Arsenal will make counselling available to Granit Xhaka with the player said to be ‘devastated’ over Sunday’s incidents.

Granit Xhaka’s friend Patrik Dibrani says the Arsenal midfielder regretted his actions immediately after Sunday’s game, and the 27-year-old isn’t in a good place.

Arsenal are reportedly ‘seething’ over the VAR calls that cost them the game against Crystal Palace on Sunday but they might be slightly misguided in their thinking.

Granit Xhaka has reportedly refused to apologise to Arsenal fans after telling them to ‘f**k off’ as he was booed on Sunday.

The Arsenal squad generally want Granit Xhaka to remain as captain, despite his confrontation with the Emirates Stadium crowd on Sunday.

Martin Keown has blamed Unai Emery for the boos Granit Xhaka received on Sunday at the Emirates as he slow-walked off the pitch.

In this edition of the Daily Cannon Arsenal podcast, Matthew and Anita make sense of Sunday’s madness, tackle the VAR confusion, ponder potential captaincy candidates…

Unai Emery is to consult his players about keeping Granit Xhaka on as captain, seemingly completely unaware that the fans didn’t want Xhaka as their captain in the first place.

Granit Xhaka reacted badly to Arsenal fans sarcastically cheering his substitution on Sunday, but was it enough to see him stripped of the captaincy?

Arsenal must surely be looking for a new captain and while it will probably go to someone like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in a bid to get him to sign a new contract, it should go to Hector Bellerin.

There was mostly just one main talking point that dominated all others on Sunday and that was Granit Xhaka being booed by the Arsenal fans as he slow marched off the pitch and his subsequent reaction.

There is no other word for it but ‘sh*t show’ when it comes to describing Arsenal against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal managed to get a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace and as that’s better than the 3-2 defeat last season, Unai Emery is no doubt delighted.

Tony Adams has admitted he has both Scottish and Germany roots, joking he had to keep them secret when he was playing for England.

Ian Wright thinks Matteo Guendouzi is driving the Arsenal team forward at the moment, and the 20-year-old was a worthier candidate for the captaincy than Granit Xhaka.

With Unai Emery’s still yet to be announced a month and a half after the start of the season, Rob Holding has confirmed the players voted on the issue recently.

Unai Emery is set to make Granit Xhaka his new captain, according to reports.
