We gotta take our licks this morning, boys and girls, because we’re out of the League Cup to a team who are down there in League Two currently fighting off a relly scrap. That’s the media narrative that will be peddled today and, if we’re honest, sometimes you just have to accept it. Like Chester […]
Today, the soccer world will find out who takes home the sport’s ultimate individual honor as the 2026 Ballon d’Or winner is revealed in London. Beyond the fierce debate over who will lift the golden trophy, the burning question on everyone’s mind was why eight-time winner Lionel Messi did not attend the ceremony. Messi was […]
It’s match day; it’s Everton, and as I said yesterday, it’s going to be another tough one in which an opponent tries to stifle and contain us. This one isn’t going to end up 4-0 to The Arsenal. Everton are going to be a tough nut to crack, whilst also having a fair bit of […]
Argentina’s 2030 World Cup debut is reportedly set for a stadium that is currently under renovation. The mayor of La Plata, Julio Alak, said this week that the venue will host a match of the tournament, although FIFA has not made any official announcement about where Argentina will play. The stadium is the Estadio Unico […]
Barcelona’s unbeaten run came to an end at the worst possible time, falling to Paris Saint-Germain just days before they face Real Madrid in La Liga for El Clásico—a match that could dramatically reshape the season for both sides. Raphinha returned to Barcelona’s starting lineup following an injury that had sidelined him in recent weeks. […]
Seen a lot of Arsenal fans on my timeline this morning talk about how worried they are about today’s game. I get it. I mean, we have a pretty poor record at The City Ground; Oliver Glasner is a very good manager, plus they’ve been massively underperforming their statistical metrics on things like xG, so […]
Lamine Yamal continues to collect praise from some of football’s biggest names, and the latest message came from a player who knows a thing or two about spectacular seasons. The Barcelona star’s stunning start to the campaign has sparked comparisons with some of the best individual performances of the past decade. Neymar, now at Santos, […]
Eventually, it was an Arsenal performance that had everything: Dominance, goals, a little rotation to keep players fresh for the weekend. But it wasn’t the kind of free-flowing performance that had many around me in the ground last night saying that we were purring like a well-oiled machine. I guess that’s only natural. Arteta rang […]
Real Madrid found in Thibaut Courtois one of the most reliable goalkeepers in recent soccer history. Now, the club has reportedly decided to keep him for longer, extending his contract beyond 2027. In 2018, Real Madrid made a blockbuster move by signing Thibaut Courtois. Despite a highly successful run with Keylor Navas, Los Blancos wanted […]
FINALLY! MATCHDAY! And it’s Leeds United for The Arsenal for the early kick-off today, which means I’ll be dumping these thoughts on here, going for a quick run, then making my way straight to Highbury for a pre-match warm-up with my mate Steve. These early ones are funny, I find, because they’re usually a little […]
