I actually switched on the Nations League final yesterday for 15 minutes, just so I could have a quick look at Zubimendi, although I didn't get a glimpse of his goal. I did unfortunately see Ronaldo get the equaliser to make it 2-2 and then prance around for a few minutes afterwards as if he [...]
Normally when I whack Sky Sports News on in the kitchen at this time of the year, there's a fair bit of rotation on what the presenters are talking about, in terms of the different teams. But yesterday when I flicked it on after a long day of work, Sky were going fairly heavy on [...]
First thigns first, how about that Mikel Merino bagging himself another goal in what sounds like an absolutely mental international game last night, eh? I saw the goal as it did the rounds on social media last night and it was a well worked piece and a very fine finish from our Spaniard. For somebody [...]
Today I thought I'd take a bit of time to pay homage to our former (almost) Scottish left back Kieran Tierney, who is returning to his homeland and Celtic in the summer, following almost six year's at the club, having signed in September 2019. It's his birthday today too. So happy birthday to KT. You've [...]
Wednesday mornings, eh? Not quite the weekend, far enough away from last weekend to keep any lingering happy thoughts away, instead if you're a desk jockey like me you face a full day of work knowing that the weekend still lies a little too far beyond touching distance. I'm sure that's why they invented midweek [...]
This time of the year is always a bit funny, I find, because people lose their minds over stuff that hasn't even happened yet. But what is worse is when people lose their minds over what others are doing. I get it to a point though. Until something concrete happens with your own team, you [...]
It's a new week, the football is now all officially over for last season after the Champions League on Saturday night (I don't consider the Club World Cup as football - it's a FIFA money-spinning exercise) and the transfer window officially opened yesterday. It's open only for the clubs who are part of the national [...]
I didn't watch the Champions League final last night. I'm in Yorkshire with some of The Management's family over from New Zealand and we're doing a little bit of a holiday and, frankly, I didn't want to spoil it by watching a game that I feel we could/should have been in. Give me an Arsenal [...]
No, I'm not talking about my old Pal Ben who I used to do the podcast with years and years ago! I'm talking about Benjamin Sesko dammit! He's my Dapper Dan Man and the one I've had the hots for, for quite some time as you'll know if you're a regular reader. And yesterday, just to [...]
Here was me getting all hot under the collar over Gyokeres and Sesko yesterday, whilst all along Arsenal were making their moves for a certain Martin Zubimendi behind closed doors. I should start talking about left backs. Maybe that'll be enough reverse-jinx for us to do a striker deal in the next 48 hours... The [...]
