It a sunny autumn day in North London and Arsene is sat in his office reading The Telegraph when the phone rings: “Bonjour, Arsene Wenger here, how may I help?” “Hi Arsene, its Greg Clarke (from The FA) here, how are you?” “Oh Hi, Greg, before you start, the answers no.” “Now wait on Arsene, […]
We’re a bit insular in our country. What’s the difference between Cameron & Hodgson? One led a failed campaign to stay in Europe and then resigned, the other…..oh!!!! So there you have it, England are out of Europe twice in four days and Hodgson joins Cameron in deserting a sinking ship. Neither had a plan […]
I have had this blog tooling around in my head for a while and my apologies for being away, but there has not been much for me to write about, with England mostly being dissected to death on the news websites. But this is a blog more about England and not Arsenal. As an England […]
Hi. The round of last 16 was concluded on Monday evening and so here I am. I originally intended to maybe review it in 2 parts, but the first three games were so dire they made for very little writing material, hence the on-the-go change of plans. Lo and behold. France 2-1 Ireland Deschamps reverted […]
Hi. Once again it took me longer to get back here than I originally thought it would. However a combination of pretty dull football during the weekend and the fact very few our players were involved then restricted me from writing earlier. Now we finally have something to chew on. Hence, without further ado… Switzerland […]
I hope no one is expecting a piece in relation to the Rugby National team when you read the heading. I am not English but like many, I hoped they would bring to England glory in a well known team sport after a long, long while. For many years English National teams have come up […]
Manchester United Van Gaal wanted to surprise Arsene Wenger with his team selection on Sunday. By opting to omit Valencia, (who did well against Alexis last season), move Darmian to the right and install Ashely Young at left back I have no doubt Wenger was surprised. Pleasantly surprised. I said last week that our best […]
England is the home of football. England is the home of the oldest cup competition in the world, the FA Cup. It is also home to one of the strongest leagues in the world, the Barclays Premier League. But why are the English players underperforming? Raheem Sterling, Ross Barkley, Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, […]
Arsene Wenger has called on referees to give Jack Wilshere more protection following Saturday’s win at Sunderland, but the Arsenal manager also needs to do his bit. Wilshere has endured a nightmare run with injuries since 2011, during which time the England international missed the best part of 18 months through various injuries. WTTGT
The international breaks seem to come at a strange time. Considering we’ve had a full summerof football throughout Euro 2012 and the London Olympic Games, it seems crazy to think that we have already had an international break, and just as we are enjoying the being back in the swing of the Premier League, another […]
