Sambi set for Sevilla loan as young Ajax keeper linked
Morning. A very quick Friday blog for you, starting with news that Albert Sambi Lokonga will join Sevilla on loan for the season. Various reports say the deal will be done today, and that the Spanish side have a €12m option to make the deal permanent if things go well. My suspicion is that the…

How to grow Rice
Ordinarily, I try not to correlate too much between a player’s Arsenal performances and his National Team performances. Due to the lack of time together and the inability to buy the players that you need, international teams are nowhere near as functional as club sides. International football is, if not a different sport, a different…

Episode 790 – The final countdown

In this episode I’m joined by Lewis Ambrose to discuss England’s 2-1 win over the Netherlands on Wednesday night, which sends them through to the final of Euro 2024.

Euro 2024: Ollie Watkins sends England to the final
Morning. England are through to the final of Euro 2024, after a late goal from Ollie Watkins saved us all from more extra-time and possible penalties. To be fair, the first half was by some distance the best Gareth Southgate’s team have played in the tournament so far, and it was the most entertaining 45…

Euro 2024: Spain make the final as France underwhelm again
Morning all. So Spain are through to the final of Euro 2024 last night after a 2-1 win over France. A rare moment of quality from Kylian Mbappe saw him cross for Kolo Muani to head Didier Deschamps’ side in front, but Spain equalised via an incredible Lamine Yamal strike. The 16 year old picked…

Non-stop
Morning all from a very grey and wet Dublin, where the sorry excuse for a summer continues. I bet they don’t have this kind of weather in Marbella, which is where Arsenal have been doing some pre-season work. Obviously this involves the players who haven’t been involved in European tournaments this summer, whether it’s the…

In this episode we start with discussion of England’s win over Switzerland at the Euros, centred around the brilliant Bukayo Saka who scored a fantastic equaliser, and one of the five penalties to help his team progress. There’s some discussion about…

Do we want the fridge or not? + Wolves keeper linked
Morning Saka fans. I don’t usually start these blogs with a piece of advice, but here is my recommendation to you: If you have an elderly German Shepherd who is asleep across a doorway and you don’t want to disturb him, I strongly advise that you don’t stub your little toe as hard as it’s…

Euro 2024: Brilliant Bukayo drives England to the semi-final
Morning. England are through the semi-finals of the Euros after a penalty shoot-out win over Switzerland, and there are lots of things you don’t need me tell you this morning. You don’t need me to tell you it was another performance to endure, rather than enjoy from Gareth Southgate’s team. You don’t need me to…

Euro 2024: The good, the bad, and the very, very boring
Morning. There was excitement and tedium in equal measure at the Euros yesterday. The excitement came early, when Spain and Germany – two teams with a lot of good players – each tried to win a game of football. The tedium came after, when France and Portugal – two teams with a lot of good…
