PETTY ARGUMENTS

Posted by & filed under News Review.

I don’t like to be dragged into the petty arguments that go off on the internet (lol, sure), but Rio Ferdinand taking time out to call Phil Foden world class at the expense of Bukayo Saka merited a conversation. Rio was world-class, no doubt. He won big titles, played on the big stage, did big… Read more »

HUNTING FOR STRIKERS

Posted by & filed under News Review.

The Champions League starts this evening, and I’m quite excited. Madrid plays Leipzig and City plays… Copenhagen. The season seems to be rolling quite nicely for dear Pep and his boys. No injuries, easy fixtures, and outrageous form, all combining at the exact right time again. Arsenal has a pretty decent run going as well…. Read more »

BOSH! ARSENAL MASSACRE WEST HAM

Posted by & filed under News Review.

Have a bit of that, Hammers. Thought you were going to earn the right to be our bogey team? Not under Mikel Arteta. The message was delivered with a brutal destruction of a performance, capped, with Mikel whispering. ‘I want the West Ham fans to know, it was me’ The pregame chatter was focused on… Read more »

They regularly sell inexperienced kids… Read more »

IT’S RAINING PRAISE

Posted by & filed under News Review.

Well good evening my friends – isn’t it amazing how a win, neigh, a DESTRUCTION, can change the narrative so hard? I just don’t understand how we can go from THE WORLD IS COLLAPSING UPON OUR FRAIL BODIES two weeks ago to people slamming me for daring to suggest we’ll probably finish second 3 days… Read more »

CITY HIT MONSTER MODE – CAN WE COMPETE?

Posted by & filed under News Review.

Manchester City broke our hearts again last night when they battered Brentford. It wasn’t the result we wanted to see. Neil Maupay took the lead from a long ball early on, but the result was never really in doubt. Brentford defended meekly and City unloaded a staggering 25 shots at their goal, forcing 15 saves….
