I was at an anniversary meal with The Management last night, so couldn't watch the England game, but apparently Saka started, starred, got man of the match and the press are now saying he should surely be a shoe-in to start in the next round. Catch up guys, us Gooners have known Saka is mustard [...]
I think I had more fun watching Denmark smash Russia than any game I've watched at the Euro's so far. I thought the Germany v Portugal game would probably end up being one of the best, but those Danes know how to throw a party and yesterday's game had pretty much everything. Goals, delicately poised [...]
Happy Monday folks, how you all doing? It was Father's Day in the UK and that meant three trips to various locations for me n The Management, which meant very little time for the watching of football, so I have little to say on the Euro's on this drab London morning. I did watch the [...]
Perhaps I should thank Gareth Southgate and the England team. I was starting to enjoy the Euro’s and international football in general, so good on him and his players to remind me just how turgid it is in general. Last night was the first proper snooze fest of the competition and it reminded me of [...]
I don't know what it is about this Euro's, but I'm finding myself oddly enjoying it, which is a real first for international tournaments. Don't get me wrong, I watch them, follow England and then Germany and to a lesser extent the Dutch, but I never really bother with most of the games, usually because [...]
Morning folks. Right, plenty to sink our teeth in to today, so let's get straight to it and start with... France vs Germany / Portugal vs Hungary My second country, country of my Grandmother and usually a shoe in for some proper hope in international tournaments - Germany - showed why there aren't too many [...]
Morning folks, how are we all doing? Watch any of the Euro’s yesterday? I caught bits of it but missed the Scotland game. See what happens when you don’t have yer man Tierney on the pitch? Carnage. To be fair that second Czech Republic goal was a peach and we should thank Schick for also [...]
After the trauma of Saturday evening and what happened to Christian Eriksen, yesterday was back to football and dare I say it, it was actually a lot of fun to watch the matches I watched. I sat down just after lunch in my back garden and watched an England team that, for a change, didn't [...]
This may well end up being a rather short blog today if I'm honest, because talking about transfer rumours, getting annoyed with the politics of what is going on at Arsenal, bemoaning targets missed or opportunities that go begging, feels a little inconsequential after what happened in yesterday's Denmark vs Finland game. I was in [...]
Bukayo Saka, anyone? Our young protégé did it again last night and showed just why it was probably fanciful to think he'll be given a rest for the summer by not being including in the England squad for the Euro's, by bagging the only goal against Austria and generally looking like he was one of [...]
