So, England are out, after a Tuche disasterclass in the second half of last night's defeat to Argentina. An Argentina side who, let's be honest, are one of the most unlikeable you can imagine. I think I speak for us all when I say: Help us Mikel Merino, you are our only hope. I had [...]
I saw a video yesterday of Rice and Odegaard having a long conversation after the England v Norway game on Saturday evening. Seeing those two locked in a chat was interesting, and had me thinking what they might be talking about. Maybe Martin was asking Declan how sick he was? Maybe they were talking about [...]
So...we have our first signing through the door for this summer. Well, 'NEW'new signing, as Hincapie was done and just needed paperwork and an official confirmation. But yes, it's Illan Meslier who becomes Arsenal's first new face through the doors at London Colney, and he said some nice things on the official site. Plenty of [...]
It was a shame to see Egypt go out yesterday. Certainly, having Mo Salah sad is no skin off my nose, but Messi aside, Argentina are quite an unlikeable side. Martinez in goal, Martinez and Romerro as their centre backs, Enzo Fernandez being a little ratty prick. Yeah, they're not the sort of team I [...]
I didn’t watch the France v Paraguay game last night, but I’ve seen some of the shenanigans of the Paraguayans and, as a result, I’m kinda glad I didn’t. Some real arses in that team, particularly their number 23, who was snidey all game by the looks of it. I’ve got no love for France, [...]
I watched the tail-end of the pumping that Spain gave Austria last night, as I was coming back from a networking event in the City, and I have to say, Spain looks like they are purring now. It's a shame their two fullbacks are absolute dickheads, but I guess there's not a lot you can [...]
I hate to be a Johnny-I-told-you-so merchant, but as I wrote about just four days ago, it appears that clubs are playing the "if he's worth x, ours is worth y" card, it seems. Yesterday, we got Matt Law telling us that Villa view Rogers at £130million, whereas the French outlets are also signalling that they want similar monies to [...]
Thankfully, we didn't see Declan Rice yesterday, as Tuchel did the sensible thing and kept the Arsenal midfielder out of harms way as England got over a plucky Panama team last night. I watched the first half in a bar in London with some mates, pretty uninspired by England, but that's Par for the course [...]
I watched the Germany vs Ecuador game last night, whilst sipping on some white wine in the garden, getting over the melting of the day in London. To be fair, it wasn't a bad one, with Germany scoring first to add some urgency, although the goal they got really shouldn't have stood. If that isn't [...]
Maybe it's weird and irrational, but this World Cup hasn't even started yet, and all I want to happen is for our Arsenal boys to come home. Perhaps this feeling was triggered by the Jurrien Timber news, which I spoke about yesterday, or maybe it was the news from Tommy Tuchel that Bukayo Saka is [...]
