How we all doing? Surviving the Interlull so far? I've been alright, actually, thanks for asking. I filled my day yesterday with 'other stuff' and didn't even switch on Sky Sports once for an extended watch of something. I'm going proper old-skool today and going to the circus with the management this afternoon (No, not [...]
Take a bow Mikel Merino son! He bagged himself a hat trick for Spain last night and the second one in particular looked like a really good strike. Naturally that kind of output and the fact he also scored in their last game against Bulgaria has you thinking about his life in an Arsenal shirt [...]
First thigns first, how about that Mikel Merino bagging himself another goal in what sounds like an absolutely mental international game last night, eh? I saw the goal as it did the rounds on social media last night and it was a well worked piece and a very fine finish from our Spaniard. For somebody [...]
In a clear act of mercy for our current injury plight, the footballing gods (and Spain manager Luis De La Fuente) saw fit to rest both Raya and Merino last night, as Spain beat Switzerland in what sounds like quite a compelling match. I wouldn't know; international football and all that... Tonight the gauntlet is [...]
It's the final of the Euro's and the Copa America today and that'll see the Spanish against the English and the Argentinians against the Colombians. Both games will, we all hope, be a cracker but obviously being based in Europe myself I'll be watching the English game in the UK, with my parents, brother and [...]
Well, I have to say, I didn't expect that last night that's for sure. For year's I've been able to fall on my German family heritage as an excuse when it comes to having some skin in the game in the latter stages of international tournaments, but last night England completed their second back-to-back final [...]
That was a captivating semi final yesterday between France and Spain, I thought, with the French going ahead and the Spanish showing why they will eventually win this tournament, I think. Going in to the game I probably edged towards France because I think, ultimately, out of the two teams on the other side of [...]
Happy Tuesday folks. Hope we're all good? It starts to get spicy in the Euro's now, with the two semi finals on tonight and whilst I'm pretty sure Spain will win, seeing Big Bill Saliba happy and in to the final would be nice. "See William? You don't NEED to go to Madrid at all [...]
I watched both the quarter finals yesterday and with my feet firmly planted in the "I have German family" camp, I decided to get behind Der Mannschaft and cheer them on against Spain. My English blood has cursed my German family. They played decent enough, but as my cousin Dave said (he also taps in to [...]
Happy Friday folks. Wherever you are, hope it's a good one. Those in the England national team camp who played last night are probably not waking up with that feeling after their poor performance yesterday, that's for sure! I missed the first 15 or 20 minutes of the game, so didn't see Kane's tap in [...]
