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 [...]
Ahh man it's a barren football wasteland out there right now. There is absolutely nothing anybody can say that would convince me that tonight's match between the Republic of Ireland and England is one worth getting invested in. I'm up in Northumberland and the Management's uncle is a Newcastle and England fan, so he'll probably [...]
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 [...]
Sometimes - but very rarely - I write the title of the blog before I've even jotted a word down on the page to compile my daily thoughts. Today is one of those days for sure. Bukayo Saka showed why he is England's best player last night. Bukayo Saka showed why Gareth Southgate appeasing Phil [...]
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 [...]
Morning folks. Happy Friday n all that jazz. We may not have had any Euro's football yesterday, but at least Arsenal kept us sated with #content, announcing the most obvious signing since Kylian Mbappe randomly rocked up at Real Madrid and everyone in the football world sarcastically went "Woah!! Didn't see that one coming!" We [...]
Having spent the weekend at Glastonbury and not getting any signal to watch the Euro's other than the England game on Sunday (I managed to use the Management's work phone through some of jiggery pokery), I managed to get to watch both of the games yesterday and so feel like I'm back on track with [...]
