The sloth edges ever closer to his tree, the perfect spot for his resting place... That's what it feels like with this Calafiori deal, eh? Last night another couple of journalists dropping the "here we go!" soundbites, in an eagerness to be the 'first past the post' in declaring a transfer confirmed. At this stage [...]
Just a few short days after the final and Gareth Southgate has decided to step down as England manager. And I always find the narrative in the media and on social media as quite interesting when this sort of stuff happens. Suddenly everyone is out saying what a fantastic job he did, how he did [...]
Morning folks and welcome to Tuesday, where the whirring of the transfer window appears to be up and running already, it seems. Last night it was Emile Smith Rowe's turn to be thrust into the spotlight, as Sky Sports ran with a story that Fulham and Palace are both interested in his signature. That's probably [...]
Well, I have to say, I didn't expect that last night that's for sure. For year's I've been able to fall on my German family heritage as an excuse when it comes to having some skin in the game in the latter stages of international tournaments, but last night England completed their second back-to-back final [...]
I watched both the quarter finals yesterday and with my feet firmly planted in the "I have German family" camp, I decided to get behind Der Mannschaft and cheer them on against Spain. My English blood has cursed my German family. They played decent enough, but as my cousin Dave said (he also taps in to [...]
That was a bit more fun yesterday at the Euro's, eh? We had goals, we had drama, we had teams going for matches and not relying on own goals, penalties, boring sufferball; it was how the Euro's or any international tournament should be played. Not what we're all now used to if you're of a certain [...]
I watched a little bit of the Italy Croatia game last night, but only half paying attention in reality, because it did feel as though Croatia would eventually go out, although they nearly did something quite surprising by rolling back the years with Modric. I felt a bit sorry for them in the end; yet [...]
Morning folks and welcome to another Monday of the summer off season. At least the weather has finally decided to show up and here I am finding myself very happy with the prospect of a few 25 degree plus days in London, that's for sure. Off to Glastonbury towards the end of the week so [...]
L:et's start of this morning with a little chuckle at this story that've seen this morning, suggesting that Barcelona are plotting an 'ambitious' bid for William Saliba. I'm sure Barca love the look of Big Bill - who wouldn't given he's just come off of another season in which he's proven himself to be one [...]
Happy Friday folks. Wherever you are, hope it's a good one. Those in the England national team camp who played last night are probably not waking up with that feeling after their poor performance yesterday, that's for sure! I missed the first 15 or 20 minutes of the game, so didn't see Kane's tap in [...]
