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...

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...

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...

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...

Morning all. The Man City saga rolls on and it will do until the outcome of next weeks legal case is over. If City win, football as we know it, is in my opinion, finished but if City lose, the case against them in November will have got a lot stronger. According to...

Morning all. When it comes to transfer rumours, the most reliable source in my opinion is The Athletic. A newspaper which reports that Arsenal have been considering a move for Ajax defender Jorrel Hato for a while. He’s young, 18 years old and most commonly plays at...

Morning all. Eberechi Eze, ditched by Arsenal back in 2011 when he was just 13 years old. In 2020, he told the world, or rather The Independent, just how he felt that awful day: I was 13 [when I was released]. That was the worst one. I remember crying in my room for a...

Afternoon all. I know this is a football website but my thoughts are with the family of Rob Burrow. The ex Leeds rugby player was diagnosed with MND back in 2019, just two years after he retired from the game. Despite his illness, perhaps in spite of his illness, he...
