Quiet. All so very quiet. So quiet in fact, that the press are even giving up on rumours it seems, because Draxler/Higuain are the only names I saw banded about on NewsNow when I had a check earlier. So we find ourselves having to look at alternative things to talk about, with my mind wandering [...]
Watching Germany last night had a very familiar feel to it, as an Arsenal fan, I must say. Plenty of possession, control of the ball in the most part, finding it difficult to break down the opposition, then when you do you come across a 'keeper who decides he's going to have a 'worldie'. So [...]
Despite my outward protestations of the Ing-ger-land team and how I really can't stand international football, this tournament side of it I have found rather useful, so naturally I've tried my hardest to properly get into the swing of it when England have been playing. I am three quarters English after all. But as I [...]
I've been up in the North East of the country at the weekend, which has meant travelling down south yesterday by far and only being able to catch the games on the radio, which inevitably meant that there were more goals and excitement in every half yesterday compared to the shower of the proverbial that [...]
So after last night's dramatic climax, we now know who will play who in the next round of the Euro's, with all the home nations getting to the last 16 and Wales up against Northern Ireland. I hope the Irish give that monkey-looking fecker Bale something to cry about, but I suspect they might have [...]
I'd like to say that youd have to give an almighty Nelson Muntz'esque 'ha-ha!' to Spain, after their defeat to Croatia yesterday, but after watching pockets of the game in between making a late dinner and eating said dinner, I've come to a different conclusion. Croatia are actually quite good. They did England/Sp*rs up their [...]
So, it turns out that this Euro's can bring more than just hooliganism and violence in the stands. It can also bring hilarity. Thanks Cristiano. The most narcissistic person at the tournament misses a penalty and the only people who are truly unhappy at that are in the west of Europe at the very edge [...]
Today is being billed by Arsenal Twitter as #TeamWilshere versus #TeamRamsey, as Wales take on England and I take on my business to ensure I secure a longer than usual lunch hour, along with most of the gents in my office. Probably. The reality is that as long as they both don't break each other's [...]
So as we hit the midway point in the working week for many (like me), we're still no closer to finding out what the situation is with Jamie Vardy, with the latest rumours coming from the press that a decision will not be made just yet. Apparently he wants to focus on the Euro's. I [...]
Reckon I had too much alcohol in my system after a bank holiday weekend of boozing, because I've woken up this morning feeling the cold sweats of lady liquor, which is never the best way to start your working week. At least the weather isn't hindering my ability to wake up - it's blustery as [...]
