Well, we now know who the four are in the World Cup semi final, as Morocco stunned everyone to beat Portugal, as France managed to overcome England in the evening game. The Morocco result is just another example of how this World Cup has continued to enthral and excite and despite the fact they have [...]
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 [...]
Morning Gooners, how we all doing? Feeling good? Did you watch our Starboy Saka shine for England last night? I certainly did! What a talent we have on our hands, eh? The goal was a well worked one and Foden's ball in to Saka to secure England's third was brilliant, but his flick over Mendy [...]
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. I've said it before and [...]
Morning folks - how are we all doing? Feeling groovy? Or feeling a little disappointed? I guess if you're a Welsh reader then probably the latter, but console yourself in the fact that Arsenal are better than any international team anyway. Soon it'll be Christmas and we can get back to focusing on the most [...]
False alarm. No need to get concerned. I thought for a day or two that I was starting to appreciate this England team, but then Gareth Southgate helped me to remember that England and International football is kind of garbage most of the time. The win over Iran had purpose, there was a speed of [...]
Yesterday I had a really busy day of meetings and personal appointments, so I didn't watch a single minute of football. By the sounds of it, that started off as a good idea with what Switzerland, Cameroon, Uruguay and South Korea all served up, but I've seen and heard some of the comments on the [...]
I have a confession to make. It is a confession that I never thought I'd ever have to acknowledge. But yesterday afternoon, it actually happened, and now I don't know what is happening with the world: I actually enjoyed watching an England match. I have trained myself to expect nothing but turgid, laborious, slow and [...]
Morning folks, how are we all doing then, eh? This weekend I've watched most of that FID+FA documentary and my word, isn't that organisation a real piece of work, eh? And as for that Qatar 2022 bid, blimey, it wasn't exactly the most convincing of tales told by the people behind that bid, that's for [...]
Morning Gooners and welcome to Friday - hope we're all feeling grand? In the UK it has somewhat unexpectantly become a bank holiday this weekend because of the Queen's funeral, which means I'm up north visiting the in-laws, looking out on to a crystal clear Northumbrian morning as I type today. It's quite peaceful. I [...]
