Greetings from Porto! This week I’ve been road tripping through Portugal and today we’re off to the Douro valley for loads of wine and hopefully sunshine, but I wanted to check in because as we all know, yesterday it appears that there were market movements for Brentford’s captain Christian Norgaard. I wrote it on social [...]
I usually write my ramblings first thing in the morning so I can be done by the time my working day starts at 9am. So releasing the fixtures at 9am today is a real inconvenience for somebody like me, I gotta be honest with ya. Still, at least it gives me the opportunity to be [...]
That pointless tournament in America kicked off last night and did so with the kind of 'bang' I think most of us were hoping for: A boring 0-0 draw. I didn't watch it, but Sky Sports thrust it into my eye-line on their website this morning with a match review, whose highlights included "Messi hit [...]
What's good about the world we live in these days when it comes to football rumours, is that even the rumours of rumours get reported on. Like last night, where a chap on 'The other platform' called 'HandOfArsenal' took to the platform to tell us all that there would be an article coming out in Marca [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
Yesterday I decided to sit in the garden instead of watching the game at Anfield. It was relatively meaningless, I didn't want to see the crowing Liverpool fans, plus after the PSG exit, as I've already mentioned last week, I'm done with this season. So today's musings will be based on vibes and how I [...]
Don't think there's any other place to start today than to congratulate the Arsenal Women for overturning a 2-0 away first leg defeat to Real Madrid, to win 3-0 with those second half goals to send the Emirates wild last night on full time. Fair do's to the ladies, because in a similar vein to [...]
