I don't have any agenda, I looked at the figures which seemed to show a drop off in form but realised I miscalculated when papes pointed it out and put my hands up to making an error. However, he is 32, the rest of the squad is relatively young and should be around for the next 6-8 years so England ...

Kane's goalscoring form has also dropped off for England in the past 4 years. from 0.88 goals per game up to 2021 to 0.61 since 2022. isn't that just a particularly good 2021 skewing that? 2019 was better. ...and 2023 was as good as 2021. Yeah, I realise I miscalculated the figure so retract it sli...

Agreed, and, good though he is, he's got far too much billy big bollocks attitude these days. To me it's the old Lampard/Scholes/ Gerrard conundrum again. How do you accommodate all three. Simple answer is you don't, you pick whoever best suits the system. Going back even further, Glenn Hoddle. Und...

There will of course be a clamour to bring Bellingham back but I think he disrupts the balance of the team.

Don't want to go overboard on one performance but of the big names that are missing, Saka is the only one I'd say walks straight back into the starting XI.

I guess if I was a professional football, I'd probably also spend €3m to not sign for United.

Enic reject 2 'preliminary expressions of interest' from groups looking to buy Spurs one was a Chinese consortium and the other was a consortium headed up by Amanda Staveley To be fair, I don't blame them. We all know about a Chinese owners but Staveley is heavily involved with Saudi Arabia and I d...

General ponder - I do wonder how long it will be until we see some superstar player be owned by a non club, maybe even owned by himself, and loaned out to different teams each season for crazy wages. Cough Mascherano, cough Tevez cough West Ham. It happens(ed) a lot in South America. Our old friend...

The Arsenal excuse train is pulling in at platform 1.

David Raya as to why he didn't save the free kick. He's used to Nike balls, not Puma balls.

Not like you've had all pre season to train with Puma balls.

Sutekh Not going to be hijacking the Guehi move anytime soon then.

But Isak is close.

Signing for Leyton Orient apparently

They've been a consistently good Lowland League team since their formation in 2010. Never finished in the bottom half and only finished outside the Top 5 3 times.

It's not a big surprise that they've taken to the Scottish League.

Typical Arsenal fans.

If we could afford him then it's a no brainer because he's head and shoulders above any other forward we e been linked to this summer but that's a massive "if" with knobs on. Big, strong, good in the air and not afraid to mix it. In fact, if I had to compare him to any former Reading playe...

Nisbet would be an excellent signing but if he's going out on loan, it will be back to the SPL.

I remember Roach scoring on his debut which obviously raised expectations but, IIRC, he was never quite good enough.

I think Martin's gone if they lose at the weekend. They are utterly shambolic in defence.

There should be an amnesty during which those that backed the wrong team to reflect glory on them can change to Liverpool, no questions asked. Lol I know someone who went from Liverpool to Spurs for precisely that reason, mainly because Rodgers was shit and Pochettino was new and sexy. A month late...

I completely get what people are saying about him blocking the pathway for some of the younger players but I do think he offers a lot of experience and versitility. I had similar reservations about Williams for similar reasons but in his few starts so far, he seems to have been a step up in quality....
