Cannon Fodder News and Links: Talk Amongst Yourselves

What are you reading in the news for Friday, May 20, 2016?

Hi folks, happy Friday! Last week's talk amongst yourselves edition of Cannon Fodder seemed to go over reasonably well, so I'm going to keep going for this week as well. What kind of stuff is out there in the news that you're looking at today? Schadenfreude about Liverpool losing the Europa League? Possible transfer news about Granit Xhaka? How about looking forward to the FA Cup or Champions League finals in the next couple of weekends? What else is going on in your lives?

OH WELL SINCE YOU ASKED all I can think about is this new MOBA/team shooter hybrid called Overwatch, which you've seen me screaming about in the comments of the last couple of Cannon Fodders. Even if you have absolutely no interest at all, I think the cinematic trailer below is absolutely worth watching. It's so much fun! It showcases four of the heroes - Tracer, Winston, Reaper, and Widowmaker. It's a blast. Watch it or you're a bad person.

Arsenal transfer news: Latest on Granit Xhaka, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and N'Golo Kante

Will Arsenal mount a realistic title challenge in the 2016/17 season? 

It all depends on their summer business, of course.

Manager Arsene Wenger only made one signing last summer – Petr Cech from Chelsea – and Mohamed Elneny, who signed from Basel was the only transfer in January, which proved costly as they petered out in the Premier League title race. 

Despite still finishing second behind champions Leicester City, the Gunners need reinforcements as Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester United are all likely to be competitive at the top of the table. 

The summer window may not be open just yet, but the rumours are well underway, with some gathering pace more than others.
