This is the worst part of the international break. It really is - as Arseblog puts it - the 'Interlull'. Eng-ger-land might have played yesterday, Harry Kane might have got himself another individual accolade in a team sport (well done Harry, hope you keep up your record in cup competitions too), but frankly I couldn't give [...]
Blimey, how about that for a couple of quarter finals yesterday, eh? Clearly both Brazil and Croatia, as well as Argentina and The Netherlands, were watching the Dubai Super Cup the other day and thought "do you know what? We fancy a go at that 'penalties after the match' kinda vibe". What a pull our [...]
Just when I was starting to really enjoy this World Cup and international football, a timely reminder was dealt to me this morning as I scrolled through my Twitter timeline and read the news about Gabriel Jesus' injury: Three months out instead of three weeks, as he'll probably need surgery.

Are we all surviving after yet another transfer twist last night, after Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano both confirmed that Chelsea had swooped in for Raphinha and dropped a very attractive up front package to Leeds that was closer to their £65million asking price? I have a few [...]
I've kind of gotten used to the fact that a number of our players usually get 'rest' time during the international breaks. We've seen other teams in the league see half of their squads go away, but we've been able to keep plenty of lads back and have them prepare for the next Premier League [...]
Yesterday felt like the first proper 'World Cup' day for me, as I managed to catch at least two and a half of the three games on TV, in between a Father's Day BBQ in classic British overcast weather. What we were treated to was certainly a bit of surprise and with Germany going 'Full [...]
