Morning all. Another day, another game of football tonight but we might not see the same starting eleven to the one which breezed past Crystal Palace or the one which fought hard to secure a place in the League Cup Final. That’s because new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan could make his debut and as said yesterday, […]
Morning all. Yes yes, I know., I’ve read it. Aubameyang is close, very close but for now it’s media talk. When it’s official, I’ll believe it, same goes for Jonny Evans even though I think there are better defenders out there for the kind of money WBA are asking for their man. I’m not keen […]
Morning all. Both Aubameyang and Evans were on show last night and as far as I’m concerned it’s a good job both already have a good reputation in the game because if either were judged on last nights performance alone, there’s no way would any club, or rather negotiating team cough up 60 million euros […]
Morning all. Yesterday’s post was about the media and the way they report news, news which all too often contain little substance, certainly when it comes to transfer rumours and the day proved to be no exception. £10 million and Mathieu Debuchy was apparently what we offered West Brom and in return, we’d asked for […]
Morning all. How many headlines can the media make out of one man, one subject or one club eh? Loads is the answer and what makes these writers views so special I often wonder, so special that they think what they write is, well, right. The Mirror have to be up there with some of […]
Morning all. As suggested last night, that old ‘game of two halves’ cliche was seldom more appropriate than after our match against Chelsea. We really didn’t start well at all and once Hazard put the visitors ahead quite early in the game, I feared a glut of goals might follow but instead, we were soon […]
Morning all. So it’s finally over. The Sanchez/Mkhitaryan deal is done, thank goodness for that. This story has has dragged on nearly as long as the Pat Phelan saga in Coronation Street. Not seen it? Well thank your lucky stars! As expected, all the gushy comments about their respective new clubs has spewed out, so […]
Morning all. ‘We did what we tried to do and went as far as we could. Even Manchester City moved out of it in the end. That tells you we had no chance to give him a contract. In 30 years of doing transfers you learn a lot about human beings. I bet Arsene Wenger […]
Morning all. Well I wasn’t expecting that, certainly not the opening twenty minutes in which we simply blew Crystal Palace away with four quick goals. The best was the fourth one from Alexander Lacazette. The Frenchman could have had more, others could too but four was enough on the day against a Palace side which […]
Morning all. It looks like the Alexis Sanchez swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan could soon be done and dusted and thank goodness for that. To be honest, I’m sick and tired of it. Sanchez, labelled a mercenary by some in the media is far from being the guy I thought he was. I thought football mattered […]
Morning all. They were meant to make us bigger and better but they didn’t. All four have now gone, the last of course being Theo who looks quite young in this picture above. I suspect all four, certainly three of them jumped ship because they could see it was sinking. Walcott seemed to be happy […]
Morning all. When Sven Goran Eriksson decided to take Theo Walcott to the World Cup back in 2006, I think many football fans thought the Swede had gone mad. In hindsight, I think he had. This was the biggest international competition in the game and there he was taking a massive chance on a player who’d […]
