The Austrians delight, the English are sh*te

Morning folks and welcome to the midweek. I decided to get a good dosage of football yesterday so watched the awesome game that was Austria and the Netherlands. It was a peach of a game with goals, great finishes, teams being pegged back and then ultimately the Austrians winning the group which, given it was [...]

Modric, Raya, Rice and Saka – Tuesday Euro 2024 thoughts

By |2024-06-25T09:09:49+01:00June 25th, 2024|Arsenal, Arsenal FC, Internationals, Transfers|0 Comments

I watched a little bit of the Italy Croatia game last night, but only half paying attention in reality, because it did feel as though Croatia would eventually go out, although they nearly did something quite surprising by rolling back the years with Modric. I felt a bit sorry for them in the end; yet [...]

Divided Euro loyalties and a little of Kimmich to The Arsenal?

Morning folks and welcome to another Monday of the summer off season. At least the weather has finally decided to show up and here I am finding myself very happy with the prospect of a few 25 degree plus days in London, that's for sure. Off to Glastonbury towards the end of the week so [...]

English VAR issues once again – why am I not surprised?

Morning Gooners - we all good? Got a bit of sun yesterday afternoon and inevitably dropped a beef-heavy BBQ in the back garden whilst watching the Austria v Poland game. That's what I love about the group stages; there's always something on TV to watch. Especially when it's the Euro's, because when it's the World [...]

Southgate’s ‘vibes’ and Arsenal’s links

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 [...]

Doing VAR properly

I want to talk a little about VAR today, particularly the application in the Euro's right now, but before I do that, let's spare a thought and metaphorically pour out a little liquor for Kieran Tierney's Euro2024 campaign, which basically died last night as he was stretchered off for another injury sustained in a career [...]

Arsenal can be firm on the Kiwior exit links

Didn't bother blogging over the weekend because a) There wasn't really much Arsenal stuff to speak of, b) I spent a lot of the weekend mornings pretty hungover, and c) it was the Euro's so all the attention would be on that and I wanted to hold off talking about international football for as long [...]

All the football is about to be here – but not Andriy Lunin

This might be a short one today, as I seem to have amassed a whole bunch of work I have to do first thing this morning (both 'work work' and life admin) that has meant I've got about 12 minutes to pen some thoughts before I go in to the first meeting of the day. [...]
