On Saturday I said that Riccardo should be on the first flight back to London after the knock he sustained on Friday night playing for Italy. That wish has been granted, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that they didn't want to take any risks with him and that's why he won't be playing in their game [...]
So, we're done with this frigging pointless friendlies and, as suspected Gareth Southgate kept Declan Rice on the pitch for the full 96 minutes last night. I flicked on and awatched about 10 minutes of the first half as I was cooking to see Pickford have a howler, then I heard about Lewis Dunk's howler, [...]
Morning Gooners, hope we're all good? Happy Friday and all that jazz. I had a weird ol' dream last night, I gotta tell ya. Leeds United and Brighton teamed up to play us in a Premier League game at Elland Road, which the Premier League allowed obviously (must have been too focused on chucking out [...]
Morning Gooners - hope all is ok with you? Had a rubbish night sleep - work stuff playing on the mind - so feeling like I've been hit by a bus. Haven't even touched a drop of alcohol either, so it makes it even more annoying. But there you go, such is life and all [...]
Morning Gooners and happy Monday to you. I was in the Algarve over the weekend and so didn't have much chance to pen any thoughts, but as it was an international weekend that kind of worked out well for me, because Eddie Nketiah first England appearance aside in the last 20 minutes of the friendly [...]
Morning you lovely lot. Happy Wednesday from a tired Gooner hurtling his way towards central London on the Metropolitan Line for an all day strategy session. Could life get any more exciting, eh? Still, at least I'm not in Harry Maguire's position, because he can't get anything right, eh? I mean don't get me wrong, [...]
Morning peeps. Happy Saturday to you and yours. Hope you guys are all good. It's going to be a scorcher this weekend and so after today's brain dump I'll be heading out to the garden to fire up the paddling pool I reckon! Come 2pm there will be a beached whale of a Suburban Gooner [...]
I don't know about you guys, but when I saw that Thomas Partey was an unused substitute in the game against Angola yesterday evening, my initial thought was of relief. After all, if he's made the bench, then he must be available to be used, right? I mean, otherwise if he isn't fit to play [...]
I was going to talk about some of the players who are on international duty, how I am praying for their safe return, having a little look at how far they are travelling over the next few days and then working out who I thought might be the one we need to keep a closest [...]
Morning folks - how we all doing? Enjoy the festivities of football yesterday? I must admit that I didn't expect to be talking about a Denmark exit at the hands of Australia for the knockout stages, that's for sure. The Danes looked impressive at times in the Euro's and I just assumed that it would [...]
