So it looks like Leo Trossard is touching down in Istanbul today, to finalise his move to Besiktas, and with that, he closes the chapter on his three-and-a-half years at The Arsenal. And considering the fact he was the 'second place' option after Mudryk, I don't think you'll find an Arsenal fan around who isn't [...]
I saw a video yesterday of Rice and Odegaard having a long conversation after the England v Norway game on Saturday evening. Seeing those two locked in a chat was interesting, and had me thinking what they might be talking about. Maybe Martin was asking Declan how sick he was? Maybe they were talking about [...]
So England booked their place in the Semi Final last night, and I have to say, Jude Bellingham is showing every bit the star power you'd expect from a Real Madrid Galactico. Are we still calling them that these days? Regardless, his two goals were enough, on a night in which two teams duked it [...]
Mikel Merino man. He's a bloody international cheat code. I remember him scoring a headed goal at Euro 2024 against the Germans in the July of that summer. He would go on to sign for us about six weeks later, but by then we sort of half-knew that he was of interest to the club. [...]
So...we have our first signing through the door for this summer. Well, 'NEW'new signing, as Hincapie was done and just needed paperwork and an official confirmation. But yes, it's Illan Meslier who becomes Arsenal's first new face through the doors at London Colney, and he said some nice things on the official site. Plenty of [...]
It was a shame to see Egypt go out yesterday. Certainly, having Mo Salah sad is no skin off my nose, but Messi aside, Argentina are quite an unlikeable side. Martinez in goal, Martinez and Romerro as their centre backs, Enzo Fernandez being a little ratty prick. Yeah, they're not the sort of team I [...]
Morning folks. Well, as it turned out, the whole Balogun red-card debacle ended up having little impact on the result, as the Belgians quite comfortably knocked the final host nation out last night. Or did it? Because let's face it, because of FIFA, because of Trump, because of the circus that followed the 'bending' of [...]
I tried my hardest to stay up and watch the England game last night, but when the one-hour delay was confirmed, I realised that, despite being English and wanting England to progress, I'm not that bothered to be watching them. To be fair, I missed a cracker, so I re-watched it this morning, and although [...]
I didn’t watch the France v Paraguay game last night, but I’ve seen some of the shenanigans of the Paraguayans and, as a result, I’m kinda glad I didn’t. Some real arses in that team, particularly their number 23, who was snidey all game by the looks of it. I’ve got no love for France, [...]
I watched the tail-end of the pumping that Spain gave Austria last night, as I was coming back from a networking event in the City, and I have to say, Spain looks like they are purring now. It's a shame their two fullbacks are absolute dickheads, but I guess there's not a lot you can [...]
