Euro 2024: Spain impressive against Italy, England disappoint in Denmark draw
Good morning, here’s a very quick Friday blog for you because despite the fact it’s early, I’m running late. Spain 1-0 Italy Jorginho played the first half for Italy, but kinda got the run around from Pedri and the Spanish side who were very good. He got replaced at the break. It didn’t really help…

How do Arsenal improve organically?
The summer naturally brings a lot of focus on the transfer window and who Arsenal might buy to improve their lot ahead of next season. That is, of course, the predominant and most important way a club can strengthen ahead of a season- not least because you don’t get another opportunity to do it until…

Kieran Tierney suffers another injury blow + Euro 2024 round-up
Good morning. Scotland kept their Euro hopes alive last night with a 1-1 draw with Switzerland, but the big story from the game is Kieran Tierney picking up what looks like a nasty injury. As he got turned by Dan Ndoye on the edge of his own box, he stumbled, and seemed to plant his…

PL fixtures released + the Euros delight and bore in equal measure
Morning all. Let’s start with the Premier League fixtures which were released yesterday, and it’s fair to say that we’ve got a tricky start. We open with Wolves at home, which is relatively kind, but immediately afterwards we’re away at Aston Villa, followed by Brighton at home, then after the first Interlull of the season…

Euro 2024: Saliba and France + Belgium & Ukraine beaten
Morning. Let’s start with last night’s game between France and Austria, which saw William Saliba start for Les Bleus. The chatter pre-tournament was that he’d be on the bench, and I have to say I’m glad he got the nod. A player of his quality can only improve further by playing at the highest level…

Arsenal men important for England as Bellingham shines
Morning all. So England got off to a winning start at Euro 2024, thanks to a superb goal from the superb Jude Bellingham. Bukayo Saka was involved, his cross deflected into the middle for the Real Madrid man to meet with a thumping header. It wasn’t just brilliantly timed and well executed, it was brave…

Super Kev
Morning. I never had the privilege of meeting Kevin Campbell in real life, but I was a guest on a few episodes of the Highbury Squad podcast he did with Sophie Nicolau. The first time I did it, we were ‘backstage’ before recording/streaming started, and he welcomed me and spoke to me as if I…

Havertz on the scoresheet, on a horrible night for Scotland
Morning. The Euros kicked off last night and there was Arsenal interest as Kai Havertz started up front for Germany, with Kieran Tierney at the back for Scotland. It’s fair to say it was not a good night for him, but a far better one for Kai. 1-0 down early on with a shot the…
