Those of a certain religious persuasion would probably use the following phrase to discuss the now (thankfully) ended transfer MegaLull, when it comes to Arsenal players' performances: The Good Lord Giveth, and he taketh away. The 'Taketh away' bit is, of course, the injuries to Havertz, then Tzolis, then Konsa too, who I haven't mentioned this [...]
Up until yesterday I think I’d watched about two minutes of international football, but for some reason, I decided I might as well put the football on in the background in the kitchen of the Mother-In-Laws house last night. I’m glad I did, because it was a superb game of football, and Saka was brilliant [...]
Obviously I didn't bother watching the England v Spain game last night, and instead watched a movie with Zachary Levi and Liam Neeson called 'The Fix'. It wasn't bad, actually, since you asked. But whilst it was downloading to my Sky box, I did watch about two minutes of the game that coincided with Harry [...]
I don't know about you, but given what happened last weekend, I was hoping that the desire to talk about something else - even England - would have kicked in a little more by now. I'm going to try to give it a go, but whether I'll be able to hit my normal 1,000 words [...]
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 [...]
So England booked their place in the Semi Final last night, and I have to say, Jude Bellingham is showing every bit the star power you'd expect from a Real Madrid Galactico. Are we still calling them that these days? Regardless, his two goals were enough, on a night in which two teams duked it [...]
I tried my hardest to stay up and watch the England game last night, but when the one-hour delay was confirmed, I realised that, despite being English and wanting England to progress, I'm not that bothered to be watching them. To be fair, I missed a cracker, so I re-watched it this morning, and although [...]
I do actually want to talk about Tonali going to The Scum and some rumours that they are after Junior Kroupi next, and some of the Arsenal fan reaction that we've seen, but before then, shall we talk a little World Cup? Firstly - and quickly, as I didn't watch the US game last night [...]
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 [...]
If you are somebody who reads my ramblings regularly, you'll have noticed that I have been quite conspicuous by my absence. If there is anybody out there who finds what I have to say on football moderately interesting, firstly, you're a mentalist ;-) But secondly, apologies if you'd been wondering if I fell into a [...]
