Madueke's withdrawal was expected from the Engaldn Camp. He was pictured leaving the match on Friday in a knee brace, so I don't think anyone was surprised that the outcome was that he'd return back to London Colney. But Saka? And Rice? Apparently, according to the official England Football website, it is for 'medical assessment.' [...]
So, as probably most of us predicted, Ben White got the England boo-boys treatment yesterday, which is odd given he got it after he'd actually put England in front against Uruguay with his tap-in at the back post. I didn't watch the game (because why would I bother?), but having listened to Tuchel on Thursday, I [...]
So the Arsenal boys did the business last night for England. Not that I was watching. Now that England are qualified these matches become nothing more than glorified friendlies and all that leaves me thinking is: Why the HELL is Saka playing the full 90? Rice was taken off on 65 minutes, so that's good, [...]
Couple of bits for us to dig into today, starting with Sky Sports reporting that there are a few clubs monitoring his situation after he's been warned by Thomas Tuchel that he needs to play more to make the World Cup. I have a few feelings on this. Firstly, the lad is 19-years-old. This isn't [...]
Happy Friday folks! I've not been drinking for a few weeks and, unlike when I set myself one of those 'don't drink for a calendar month' jobbies, this time around I just did it midway through the month after I got back from Greece and I found the first couple of week's really easy. They [...]
Is it safe to come out? Did every Arsenal player make it out in one piece? It sounds like it to me. Even in the early hours of the morning with the Brazil game, mercifully Big Gabi and Martinelli were both unused subs, as the Selecao went on to lose 1-0 away to Bolivia. That sounds [...]
I watched the WSL opener as I was doing some work in the kitchen yesterday and I have to say, that Olivia Smith lass looks good, doesn't she? That's one heck of a shot she's got on her and if that's the sign of things to come, then Arsenal Women have themselves one heck of [...]
So here we are folks - we're now immersed deep into the mire that is the September international break, with players now away with their national teams and Arsenal's doing all kind of rain dances, prayers and voodoo witchcraft tricks in the hope that we get them all back in one piece. We've already suffered [...]
Morning folks - there's no better place to start today than that dramatic late winner for The England Women's team who last night progressed to the final. I find it lovely and heartwarming that these ladies have (once again) captivated the nation through their grit, determination and never-say-die approach to this tournament. That's two rounds [...]
Ok so it looks like Rice is safe from injury, following playing (and scoring) last night in the England game against Finland. I didn't bother watching it, I wasn't interested in it, I've just checked in to see the score and see some of the goals and Rice's one was a classic lung-buster from our [...]
