Alexander Hleb. On his day, a wonderful player and at Arsenal, he had many of those days which is why Barcelona came calling. Back then, a chance to move to Catalan club was not something many footballers turned down. We of all fans are aware of that, but not always did such a move […]

I hope you and all yours remain fighting fit and healthy. Here in the UK, Boris Johnson is reported to have written to us all, emphasising the dangers of Coronavirus and how critical it is for us to stay at home. I’m sure it’s the same for those of you living in other parts of […]
I missed a day yesterday. Forgive me. but what is there to write about really? There’s no football, no sport, no nothing or rather anything. But it doesn’t matter. What does matter is your health. The health of the NHS and all key workers here in the UK along with the equivalent organisations around the […]
Morning all. Football seems on course to suffer a massive financial hit but I wont feel too sorry for the Premier League if it does. For too long now, footballers have been overpaid, transfer fees have been off the scale ridiculous and fans have been nothing short of ripped off for tickets, season tickets and […]
Morning all. I trust you’re all fit and well? Good, keep it that way. I don’t know about you guys but here in England the weather is fab, especially for so early in the year. Beautiful blue skies with temperatures up to 20c in direct sunshine, on my patio and out of the breeze. I’ve […]
Ok, I really am steering clear of anything Covid-19 and I’m asking you guys to do the same unless your comments are directly related to football and or sport in general. The best way through this frightening time is by listening to our own parliamentary figures and heeding the advice they offer. I don’t want to […]
Another day in this strange world. People are dying whilst others continue to treat this Covid-19 virus as if it’s no worse than a common cold. Idiots all of them, and you if you’re one of them. Boris Johnson is giving us a bit of freedom to roam safely but if we as a country […]
Happy Mothering Sunday to all the mums out there, many of whom are self isolating, or at least should be. Mine is and whilst it was tempting to FaceTime her this morning, I resisted as I’m not sure she’d have been thrilled to see my face pop up on her screen. At 86 years old, […]
The government here in the UK stepped things up a gear yesterday as the fight against Coronavirus continues. Pubs, clubs, gyms, cafes, restaurants etc have all been told to close. For now, shops remain open although I can see that changing if things don’t improve. If you are off to shops today or over the […]
Seems the country is heading for a shutdown. Didn’t see it coming? Then you must have been in hibernation for the last few months. Looking after the vulnerable and elderly matters like never before and if you’re no longer able or allowed to go to work, think about what you can do for those around […]
Looks like the first Covid-19 football club casualty has fallen as Barnet have reportedly put all of their non-playing staff on immediate notice of redundancy. Sixty members of staff are set to lose their jobs because impact of Covid-19 and football being put on hold. The longer this break in the game goes on, it’s likely […]
The PM and his trusted sidekicks issued an update on the Coronavirus yesterday evening. Some of the questions Wall Streets finest asked them afterwards had me wondering whether or not one of the local schools had sent a couple of six year olds to the press conference. Then again, six year olds do tend to […]
