Morning all. A short one today. The above is the who’s in and who’s out of the squad travelling to Singapore. I doubt we can read much into it though as Torreira, Ospina and Welbeck are yet to return from World Cup duties. Apparently Mesut Ozil has come back slightly early because he knows the […]

Morning all. The Premier League, the best League in football were the words heard and seen written many times since it was formed. It’s just a glorified League Division One imo just with a fancy name. Foreign ownership, television deals, foreign players, sponsorships and foreign managerial appointments are the only real difference between then and […]
Morning all. It’s all or nothing in sport, we’ll it seems that way with the sports I enjoy watching. All the tennis finals at Wimbledon including the invitation doubles and of course the third/fourth playoff in the World Cup followed by the final between France and Croatia yesterday afternoon. For once though, football had to […]
Morning all. Our new manager faced the media yesterday although not for the first time, that was on the day he took up his new post. This time though there was no Ivan Gazidis by his side. Just him, and his interpreter who was called upon on more than one occasion. Who cares about that […]
Morning all. Last night was a huge disappointment for England and it’s fans. A place in the final could have been theirs, perhaps should have been theirs had they been able to convert the chances which presented themselves in the first half. The worst miss was possibly from Harry Kane who had a glorious opportunity […]
Morning all. Arsenal fans have been left tingling with excitement after new midfielder Lucas Torreira received a glowing report from one of his former coaches. The pint-sized powerhouse dazzled for Uruguay at the World Cup and he will be the holding midfield that the Gunners have long been crying out for. Marcello Donatelli, who coached […]
Morning all. It’s World Cup semi-final day, round one. I’m not fussed who wins this one really, especially as there are no Arsenal players in either side. Who’d have thought that though as just a few years ago, the French team was filled with Arsenal players. Koscielny would have been there had he not suffered […]
Morning all. Football in Russia is drawing to a close. The semifinals take place on Wednesday when England, yes, England face Croatia and France take on Belgium. Who’d have predicted those four teams getting as far as they have eh? France yes, maybe even Belgium but England and Croatia, probably not. There seems to be […]
Afternoon guys. It’s a warm one again, great for Wimbledon but cruel on the garden. Don’t know about yours but my lawn is starting to look like centre courts baseline area after the two week competition. Hey ho, can’t moan really, not when every summer we all wish for some sunshine when it’s been cold […]
Morning all. There are some things which just happen in life, a fluke perhaps, a mental block, or just for some other odd reason. We’ve heard it about Arsenal how they can’t win away from home, Wenger couldn’t beat Mourinho or Ancelotti, Arsenal couldn’t win at Old Trafford etc and as far as international football […]
Morning all. It’s hard to believe that it was seventeen years ago today when one of England’s finest centre backs took the short trip across North London to sign for Arsenal. Arsene Wenger’s best defender signing I’d say and he bagged him for free. I doubt Sol Campbell needed much persuasion to switch clubs back […]
Morning all. 120 minutes of football yesterday afternoon in the earlier game and to be honest, I thought much of it was really disappointing. Spain were disappointing from start to finish and struggled to break down or through a well organised Russian defensive setup which probably contributed heavily to the boredom. But who could blame […]
