Cannon Conversations

We are now at the halfway point in the season!

In this conversation the boys give their top 6 and bottom 3 predictions, chat about how well the likes of Leicester, Wolves and Southampton have done and also give their views on the Liverpool vs United game that was on Sunday.

You know the deal.

Sit back. Relax. Pour yourself a drink and enjoy the conversation.

P.s. We had some technical issue towards the end so you may notice a wee jump in the conversation in the last 4-5 minutes!

Not just with Football but with "success" in general I feel like we all want it NOW and don't want to have to go through the process and the pain of getting to that point, whatever it may be for you in life or as a football fan.

How much does style of play matter for your team?

What would you rather as a newly promoted team, play open exciting football and be at risk of going of going down but enjoying the rollercoaster? Or defending for your life week in week out playing for a point and hoping to sneak a win?

In this conversation we go into detail about these topics and more.

You know the deal.

Sit back. Relax. Get a drink and enjoy the conversation.

Unfortunately we started off this week with the sad news of the passing of Gerard Houllier.

My earliest memories of falling in love not just with Liverpool, but Football, were with Houllier's Liverpool team that won the treble. 

Most specifically Michael Owen scoring two goals against Arsenal in the FA Cup final and doing a somersault and then Gary McAllister (who I fortunately had the privilege of meeting in California) whipping in a free kick that was headed in for an own goal during Golden goal in the UEFA Cup Final.

That started my journey to playing football for my whole youth, then leading into pursuing a football career coaching in California for 8 years, and finally back to Scotland now talking about football with some of my closest friends and my brother.

So the Weekend Review this week is dedicated to Gerard.

I will finish off this description with a quote from him that sums up how not just football should be, but life itself:

"Generosity always pays off. Generosity in your effort, in your work, in your kindness, in the way you look after people and take care of people. In the long run, if you are generous with a heart, and with humanity, it always pays off"

Thanks for the memories Gerard,

Cannon.

It's the Weekend Review!

This week we the games we go through are:

Chelsea vs Leeds

Ross County vs Rangers

Tottenham vs Arsenal

Liverpool vs Wolves

The big question on everyones lips right now is.........

Is Mourinho back?!

Get a pint down you (if you are in Tier 1 or 2) and tune into the conversation.

The conversation this week revolves around the previous weekends big talking points.

Have Celtic imploded? Is the re-action over the top? Will Neil Lennon make it until the end of the season?

Did Ole show a sign of improvement with his sub of Cavani at the weekend to win 3 points for United?

Did Brighton deserve a penalty on Saturday against Liverpool? What are the boys thoughts on Jurgen Klopp's fiery BT interview? 

And of course the debate on VAR rumbles on. 

Pour yourself a drink, and join the conversation!

Cheers, 

Cannon.

In this conversation we discuss managers and how they are evaluated by fans. 

We break it down into three areas: 

Coaching 

Recruitment 

Culture

We go into detail on Pep Guardiola at City, Mourinho at Spurs, Lampard at Chelsea, Arteta at Arsenal, Ole at United and Steven Gerrard at Rangers. 

Missing the pub with your mates discussing Football?

Pour a drink and join the conversation.

In this conversation we brought my Uncle Glyn on board for a Scotland special after qualifying for a major tournament for the first time in 22 years. 

We share our thoughts on the game against Serbia and talk about how this is an opportunity for Scottish Football to build for the future with this fantastic achievement of qualifying for Euro 2021.  

How do we want our national team to play? Is there a right or wrong way for us to play? What are the short and long term goals for Scotland? Finally finishing with what do we expect as fans from Scottish players and a Scottish manager.

Open a can, relax, tune in and enjoy the conversation.

OH YES SIR, I CAN BEVY!

In the first episode we talk about how the game of Football has changed for us since growing up watching it in the early/mid 2000's. We touch on VAR, how tackling and the physical part of the game has changed, how defending has changed from a coaching and playing point of view and how Social Media now affects the world of Football. 

We finish off with predictions for the Serbia vs Scotland game that's on tonight. 

Mon the Tartan Army! 

Open a can and relax. 

Enjoy the conversation.

Football's so complex yet so simple.
