Reports suggest we’re one of them along with Borussia Monchengladbach, RB Leipzig, Lyon, Lille, Monaco, Marseille, Sevilla, Brighton, Newcastle United and West Ham all want him this summer. The French under 21 international is valued around £7 […]

Morning all. Well done England Women. A win over Argentina which secured their place in the next round of the World Cup. A long way to go yet and much improvement needed if they are to win this competition. Hopefully they’ll peak at the right time. A return to Champions League Football by winning […]
Morning all. The Women’s World Cup is in full flow and so far, it’s produced some really good games. Why wouldn’t it though, just because the game has been associated with men until recent years, certainly at the level it’s at now, it doesn’t mean the fairer sex can’t play to a high standard. When […]
Afternoon all. The rain is back, actually it never really went away. The expression ‘Flaming June’ seems appropriate but not for the reasons it is meant. We’re fast moving towards the longest day yet summer hasn’t even begun. Anyway, there’s still no news. Rumours galore which like everyone else, I love but not because I […]
Afternoon guys. Jeeze it’s tough trying to conjure up something to write about but I’ll soldier on. Just for you mind, so be grateful. I jest of course, if I didn’t enjoy whinging most days about Arsenal or something else football related, I wouldn’t bother. Granit Xhaka. I would say Mr Marmite but these […]
Morning all. Yannick Carrasco, a Belgian winger/forward who left Atlético Madrid in February 2018. The year before, according to Transfer Market, he was worth €40 million. Now the same website values him at just half that amount. Either playing in the Chinese League has done him no favours, or his level of football has dropped. […]
Morning all. Mesut Ozil has married his long time girlfriend Amine Gülşe. Great new, congratulations and all that but now I hope she puts her foot down. Him in North London, her back in Istanbul isn’t going to work. One of them has to give, if they want to live together. I know, it’s worked […]
Morning all. I read an article in the Guardian by Amy Lawrence. Good too I thought as she compares the Ian Wright and Bruce Rioch situation back in 1996 with now ongoing feud between Mesut Ozil and Unai Emery. One can hardly disagree with idea that something is clearly wrong between the two. But in […]
Eleven years. Firstly, where have they gone? Secondly, too many of those years ruined because of two men. Tony Pulis and his ‘rough ‘em up’ tactics. Ryan Shawcross for executing them. Most of Aaron Ramsey’s Arsenal career was played under the management/coaching of Arsene Wenger, all actually apart from this season which proved to be […]
One from AllezKev this morning. During the long build up to Baku, there was a rumour doing the rounds which suggested there might be some changes made to our coaching staff in the summer. That rumour concerned Steve Bould. Is he staying or is he leaving and was it always his intention to do one […]
Morning all. All I can say is thank heavens for that. The thought of our now not so noisy neighbours winning the Champions League, well, it matters not as they lost. Not for one minute does that justify us losing our Europa Cup Final but at least salt won’t be rubbed into our already sore […]
Just 35 years old and along with his cousin, he’s gone. José Antonio Reyes – 1st September 1983 – 1st June 2019 He wasn’t one of our own but between 2004 and 2007, he was one of ours. An extremely gifted footballer who despite trying, simply couldn’t settle in London, England. The Neville sisters played a […]
