Morning all. Riccardo Calafiori is the latest name linked to Arsenal. He’s an Italian left-back/centre-back and apparently, he had a good Euros. Italy didn’t mind you but hey, one player doesn’t make a team. Back in 1995 was the first time an Italian stepped foot into Premier League football when striker Andrea Silenzi joined Nottingham […]

Morning all. How lucky were England on Sunday? Another dire performance, another sit back and do nothing about it performance from Southgate, saved by a late late goal from Bellingham and another from Kane in extra time. It’s amazing how a supposed experienced manager can watch the same group of players play the same way […]
Morning all. Granit Xhaka and his Swiss teammates defeated Italy yesterday in the early game, then later in the day, Kai Havertz and his fellow countrymen dumped Denmark out of the competition. ITV pundit and Totts manager Ange Postecoglou had this to say about our midfielder/striker: I think with Havertz, he is one of these […]
Morning all. England will play Slovakia on Sunday in the Euros last 16 round. Slovakia finished 3rd in their group winning 1, losing 1 and drawing 1. Their victory came against Belgium. Win and either Italy or Switzerland will be their quarter-final opponents. Win that one and one of Romania, Netherlands, Austria and Turkey could […]
Afternoon all. Yesterday, Arsenal announced that goalkeeper Karl Hein has signed a new contract which I think is good news. He’s 22 years old, 6’ 4” tall and already playing at international level for Estonia. Hein is happy: I’m delighted to extend my contract and continue my journey in this amazing club after six years. […]
Morning all. The Sun have a big headline followed by a big claim about Man City. I’ll leave you to read it for yourselves and form your own opinion about it’s validity. Euros 2024: Having been overlooked by Didier Dechamps for quite a while, William Saliba is now enjoying a strong Euros tournament with France. […]
Morning all. After what I thought was a dismal England performance against Denmark last, Gareth Southgate has allegedly said that he’s missing Kalvin Phillips – or at least the role he played in midfield. I cannot believe that England doesn’t have a player like him in the top two leagues of English football. Trent, as […]

Morning all. Well that was a mixed England performance, or should I say a mixed Serbia performance. Much of the first half was controlled by Southgate’s team but as the half faded, so did England. After the break, Serbia had a bit more to offer, forcing Pickford to make an outstanding save. Kane had one […]
Morning all. Having decided to skip the World Cup opening ceremony in order to watch the final episodes of Bridgerton, I tuned into the first fixture of Euros 24 just in time to catch the start. I thought Scotland were good for five minutes but once the hosts Germany scored, it was pretty much boys […]
Morning all. Thomas Partey is close to finalising a move to Saudi Arabia, report ESPN. The Ghanaian midfielder – who turned 31 yesterday – was restricted to just 16 appearances last season due to injury. I hope this is true, not because I’ll be glad to see the back of him but because Arsenal […]
