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 […]
Morning all. After all the fuss about Eric ten Hag, he’s staying at Manchester United. Not only is he staying, he’s reported to be given a new contract. Poor bloke has been dragged through the mill by the sports writers who seemed to truly believe his days in the Premier League were over. Utd clearly […]
Morning all. First up, there’s a great article in The Athletic about Carlos Cuesta, one of Mikel Arteta’s right hand men. It’s worth reading that’s for sure. Who knows, when Mikel Arteta hangs his Arsenal boots up for good, Carlos might be his replacement. Granit Xhaka had nothing but praise for him: Of course, […]
Morning all. Aaron Ramsdale let one sneak inside the post whilst on England duty last night. He looked, he thought he had it covered whilst probably expecting the shot to go on his other side. It didn’t and one goal was enough to leave he and his team beaten. The critics will be out against […]
