Before anything, let us send some love to Ben White, who had to leave England World Cup squad for personal reasons.
There is some good and bad news coming from Brazilian side of the World Cup football. Martinelli showed his worth against Cameroon and had a very good game at the left coming close to scoring twice, saved eventually. He is such a threat to the defenders, I always get a CR7 vibes in him; he is probably one of the worst players to play against for any defender. Saying this when he is playing on the grandest stage of football means something.
Coming to the bad news, Gabriel Jesus picked an injury and will probably be out till January. That means he is going to miss some games for us, when we are fighting for the league. Time for Eddie Nketiah to show up, but this might tempt Edu and Arteta to go for a CF in the January window. We needed that fund for the midfield where we need a proper competition for Thomas Partey. I would personally prefer strengthening midfield and waiting for Jesus while Eddie fills up the spot. I have always wanted to see Martinelli in the CF role but I guess we will never know.
In other news, World Cup is getting exciting now. Germany, Mexico, Belgium, Uruguay are out. Such a shame with Belgium, even with so much talents they can’t get through the group stage. Same with Germany, I guess they need a reboot like Arsenal.
Good to see Japan qualifying for round of 16, kudos to Tomiyasu. England is doing great, finishing top of the group with some brilliant games. USA qualified too which will keep Turner busy.
Right, short one today. Apologies for missing for last two weeks, been busy a bit in my own marriage lol. I will take another week off, need some sun somewhere on the beach.
Hope you are doing well, have a good evening!

The only acceptable reason would be him saying he want to play ahead of Maguire lol

It opens a whole can of worms about professional conduct, why would he act like this on international duty? If it’s his attitude towards football, preparation or authority then we’re back to Arteta having and picking favourites over talent.
Almunia could compose a cracking satire on the Ben White bollockry. BW’s a bit like that twat that spends a fortune on some high-tech electronics, gets it home and switches it on without reading the instruction manual. Result : chaos and electrocution. Tony – I’m sure you knew people like that in your professional life. Imagine starting a job, being given a contract and a work manual and not bothering to read any of it. That’s Benny Blanco I’m afraid.
I have it on good authority, this was how BW’s England career ended.
BW lying on a sunbed dowsed in ambre solaire and wearing nothing but Beckham autographed fuscia budgie smugglers and matching eye covers that look like two plastic spoons glued together.
Holland – Our back room team have put a detailed dossier and video together on the US team’s strengths and weaknesses. Will you take a butcher’s before tomorrow’s game, pretty please?
BW – Don’t care… I’ve reached level 3 billion on candy crush and I want to beat Mesut Ozil’s record. Plus I need to moisturise (fnarr fnarr) and call my GF – she was concerned about our pet poodles going to the groomers today.
H – Cmon Ben, just sit and watch it. Its only 10 minutes long and it’ll make sure you’re fully ready for the game.
BW – Don’t talk to me like that Bruv. And oo are you anyway? You’re even more dull than that ex Palace dickhead sowffgate.
H – Just watch the video for chrissakes. What’s the problem?
BW – Wait til I get back to London and tell supermik about you. And my best fwend superfanbwoy Pedwo at Le Gwove. They’ll be pwoperly livid and you’ll never get anuvver job in football blud.
H – Nice. You charmless tosser.Grow up you permed, perma-tanned, over tattooed prima donna. And pack your bags, there’s a seat on
an economy flight from doha to stanstead leaving tonight.
BW – Stanstead? Stan-fuckingstead? Ben White does not do Stanstead you bastard.
H – Just do one, and tell Pedro me and all the real gooners at LiR he’s an arsehole when you see him at your hairdressers next time.
Hi Almunia. I hope you’re keeping your powder dry for when the real football resumes. But come and save the other lads from this piss poor level of material if you feel so inclined.

That’s very harsh on all the arseholes out there.
Read this somewhere else and thought it was funny in view of the England results from yesterday.
“You can take Kane out of Tottenham but you can’t take Tottenham out of Kane” 😆
From raptor on LG
Harry Kane’s 2nd penalty makes sense now

You’ve got to laugh at the Kane out of Tottenham line!
Of course what isn’t so funny is likely possibility that Arteta will as always go Spud like himself and finish behind them.
Good one K’phobe that really made junior and me laugh. Hope you’re coaxed our satirical genius friend from his hiatus or more likely waiting for good material to emerge. Finger’s crossed, KP.

You’re welcome but you have to remember I’m Half Scottish and we Scots feel it’s a sin to spend money. we much prefer others to do it for us 🙂 Then there is my mother’s Jewish side. so you’re lucky because to be bought coffee in the first place. Realistically, with my heritage you’re lucky I clicked on the coffee cup at all. ::))
I’m sure in time your cup will runneth over and you’ll be perpetually faster than people with ADHD. If it were me and I still drank, which I don’t, I’d have gone with single malts and Belvedere Vodka. At least you’d have and excuse for talking bollocks 🙂 You’d be too PP’d to say much unless you had a parachute.
Just kidding, Ambarish.
Look at it this way, you’re the first blog I’ve ever donated to, and yes I feel sinful and shame to my Scottish brothers, but I’ll be ok in a couple of days.
you’ve*

They say that about village people here. You can take the person out of the village, but not the village…………. Not always true, but they have to fight generations of village life to shake off their past conditioning.
I want to feel sorry for Kane…… Nah I don’t really 🙂
Hahaha, couldn’t agree more with the ‘clicking on the coffee cup’. I stayed for only 3 years, and I won’t click on it myself 😀 Thanks a ton, I have pretty good readership and with the amount of racial hate I read because of the world cup matches on reddit and twitter, I consider LiR is in a much better place.
Some positivity in the new post – https://londonisred.com/carpe-diem/
