 AARON RAMSDALE, A BELEAGUERED GOALKEEPER My response to some overzealous opponents of Ramsdale(Rambo) against Raya in the Arsenal's artificially created goalkeeping debate and collindrum... Absolute rubbish, Raya has not really been tested, the few times he came under pressure he messed up really big time, "leaving us with our hearts in our mouth".

I am beginning to subscribe to the conscious thought that the city perceives its own.  Lagos, Lagos, a city of strange comfort but then you have to shine y

  The  Premier League... A ROLLER-COASTER OF EMOTIONS AND A SWINGING PENDULUM The above caption was deliberately coached to capture what transpired at the conclusion of the Week 12 fixtures of the Premier League. It has all the "ingredience and spices" that the Premiership have come to be assiciated with in their "broath and traditional cook-pot". It had drama, browl, surprises, shocks, excitement, pain, confusion, matching order, brazen and volt-face official calls and decisions. Man U had a hard fought redemption  win against hard working League minnows Luton Town. This was an encounter that all football faithfuls wanted to go the way of Manchester United to give the team a boost and to avoid the riot act from the fans and management of the club on Ten Hag the team's coach who is now walking on a thin line and thread. He seems to have a multitude of problems both on and off the field as he has been reportedly to have hurriedly gone back home to attend urgent m
