Adrian Durham has managed to say the one thing that’s even more clueless than England’s final 30 minutes at this years World Cup — blaming Arsenal for England’s failures and questioning Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice’s commitment. “Arsenal lied about Saka’s fitness. Arsenal overplayed Rice. Saka and Rice need to choose Country over Club. Blame […]
A – So, Southgate picks his squad to underachieve at the Euros. Major talking point should be: No Grealish, No Maddison. But No. What does the renowned (?) Irish defender Kevin Kilbane focus on: “Watch Saka during the Euros. He’ll be limping off with 20 minutes to go and then a doubt for the next […]
International football has never really been my cup of tea. The first major tournament I remember was the 2006 World Cup, and at that time my 8 year old brain couldn’t comprehend the idea of anything other than supporting Thierry Henry. Since then, I have stayed firmly in the club before country camp. Ultimately, I […]

To the shock of absolutely nobody, I didn’t want England to win the Euros. I make no apologies for it. It’s how football works. When Arsenal went out of the Europa League, I didn’t start supporting Man Utd because they got further. On the contrary, I put pretty much all the energy that was left […]
On Friday night, England’s ruthless Under-21 side continued their unbeaten qualifying campaign for next years European Championships with a comprehensive 0-6 victory against Kosovo, which saw Arsenal youngster – Eddie Nketiah – captain the side and put the game out of sight with a 10-minute hat-trick early in the second half. The array of talent […]
Under a sunny Swiss sky in 2008, at a café near Basel, Arsène Wenger made his pitch. And a young, 17-year-old Welshman listened. Six years later, Aaron Ramsey delivered Arsenal their first trophy since 2005. Ramsey is all that remains Wenger’s British core; a generation of players whose moments of brilliance form a collage of […]
