Looks like Bruno G is on his way. The last horses are crossing the finish line - Newcastle-based journos - and they're now starting to report that he's met new manager Matthias Jaissle, and told him that he wants to make this move, which means it'll be sanctioned for around the £75million mark. So for [...]
It's a little weird to start off today's blog with a story about another club, but with the news breaking as I've started to type about Eddie Howe leaving Newcastle, it's hard not to put two and two together. Sky Sports are talking about this at the moment in the background as I'm typing and [...]
So, after a summer in which Liverpool thought they were signing Diomande, then PSG, Real Madrid are the one's pulling the trigger, which will be an 'all-in' fee of around £100million when the bonuses are factored in (€120million). As I mentioned yesterday, that means Madrid now have: Mbappe Vinicius Junior Rodrygo Endrick Diomande Brahim Dias [...]
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 [...]
I would be lying if I said to you that I enjoyed that game yesterday. In fact, I don't think there is a Gooner on this planet who would have felt that satisfying. And yet, earlier in the season, when we beat Palace 1-0 with Eze scoring the winner in a tightly contested game, my [...]
It's funny how the rapid nature of football ('A week is a long time..' and all that) can work for you and against you, isn't it? I went to bed last night and as I started to drift off, I was thinking about what a big and positive result the game on Sunday was, because [...]
Where to even start after yesterday, eh? I think I want to be broadly positive today, because when you snatch a victory from the jaws of defeat with a last minute goal in extra time, then you have to be feeling positive rather than dwell on some of the negatives. So I'm going to get [...]
We have an opportunity today. One of the most frustrating part of last season - injuries aside - was that it felt like every time an opportunity opened up for The Arsenal to claw points back on Liverpool, we didn't take it, so they ended up creeping away from us until the lead they had [...]
I thought about watching the Newcastle v Liverpool game, but ended up doing a BBQ instead and when we'd finished eating, I flicked on the TV to see Liverpool two-goals up and Newcastle down to ten men so I said to myself "no chance I'm watching the rest of that game" and switched it off [...]
I'll get into the Arsenal men's teams' second win of pre season after a somewhat feisty encounter in Singapore against Newcastle yesterday lunchtime UK time, but before all of that, let's have a word or two to say about the fabulous England Lionesses, who retained the Euro trophy on penalties by defeating Spain in the [...]
