WELL, WELL, WELL, WHAT A GAME FOR NEWCASTLE LAST NIGHT IN THEIR 2 – 0 WIN AGAINST ARSENAL! THIS MEANS THAT A 70 YEAR END TO A DROUGHT IN SILVERWARE COULD BE IN SIGHT FOR THE MAGPIES! IT WAS THE SEVENTH WIN IN A ROW FOR NEWCASTLE WITH ALEXANDER ISAK AND ANTHONY GORDON SEEMINGLY IN TOTAL SYNC WITH EACH OTHER, WITH ISAK RUNNING RIOT IN THE FIRST HALF, SCORING A BEAUTY AT 37 MINS. (HIS 10TH GOAL IN HIS LAST 9 GAMES) AND THEN, HAVING ANOTHER GO, DANCING THROUGH SEVERAL PAIRS OF ARSENAL LEGS IN THE 51ST MINUTE AND FIRING A BRILLIANT SHOT WHICH WAS WELL-SAVED BY ARSENAL’S DAVID RAYA, BUT THEN REBOUNDED RIGHT INTO A WAITING ANTHONY GORDON’S VICINITY, WHO FOLLOWED THROUGH WITH A BRILLIANT GOAL!

PREMIER LEAGUE : FRIDAY – 27/12/2024 (PHOTO – HAVERTZ AND TROSSARD CELEBRATE)

IT WAS THE SUPERB PASS FROM TROSSARD TO HAVERTZ THAT PROVED TO BE THE HIGHLIGHT LAST NIGHT, IN THE MATCH BETWEEN ARSENAL VS IPSWICH, WITH HAVERTZ HITTING-THE-BACK-OF-THE-NET IN THE COOLEST OF STYLES AT 23 MINS INTO THE MATCH! AND THEN A FURTHER 20 SHOTS, WITH 5 ON TARGET IN TOTAL, FOR ARSENAL, BUT NOT MUCH SUCCESS FOR ALL THE USUAL ARSENAL STAR CULPRITS, WHOSE ATTEMPTS EITHER WENT OVER THE TOP OF THE BAR, OR INTO THE ARMS OF IPSWICH’S SUPERB GOALY ARIJANET MURIC! ARSENAL ALSO HAD 68% POSSESSION IN TOTAL, MADE 670 PASSES, WITH A 90% PASS ACCURACY. IPSWICH HAD A FURTHER 3 SHOTS, (WITH AN EARLY ATTEMPT BY SAMMIE SZMODICS LOOKING DANGEROUS FOR A WHILE, BUT NOT TO BE) AND THEY MADE 318 PASSES, WITH AN 80% PASS ACCURACY, WITH ONE YELLOW-CARD-A-PIECE. SO LOT’S OF ENTERTAINMENT, WHICH ...

YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN HAPPY IF YOU BOUGHT A TICKET FOR THIS SPECTACLE LAST NIGHT! AN EXCITING FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER WITH LIVERPOOL’S DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI KICKING OFF THE PROCEEDINGS WITH A CRACKER AT 30 MINS. INTO THE MATCH, AND THEN IT WAS SOUTHAMPTON’S TURN WITH ADAM ARMSTRONG HITTING THE BACK OF THE NET WITH A STUNNER AT 42 MINS., AND HIS TEAM-MATE MATEUS FERNANDES FOLLOWING ON WITH ANOTHER BLINDER AT 56 MINS., WITH ALL THINKING THAT FOR JUST A SPLIT-SECOND, UNDERDOGS SOUTHAMPTON MIGHT HAVE WON THE MATCH! BUT THEN IN THE 65TH MINUTE, MO SALAH SPRANG INTO ACTION WITH THE FIRST GOAL OF A BRILLIANT BRACE AT 65 MINS. AND ANOTHER FROM A PENALTY AT 83 MINS., MEANING THAT THIS CAPTIVATING GAME ENDED IN A 3 -2 WIN TO LIVERPOOL! AFTER THE MATCH, MO SAID HE WAS DISAPPOINTED AT NOT HAVING REC...

RUGBY WORLD CUP 2023: ENGLAND VS FIJI – 15/10/2023 (PHOTO – OWEN FARRELL)

ANOTHER LOOK AT THE FANTASTIC RUGBY MATCH BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FIJI ON 15/10/2023 WITH TRIES BY TUILAGI, AND MARCHANT FOR ENGLAND, AND THEN FARRELL MORE OR LESS SWEEPING THE BOARD WITH HIS CONVERSIONS, PENALTIES AND DROP GOALS (SEVEN IN TOTAL!) FIJI WERE NO WALK-OVER THOUGH, WITH TRIES BY MATA, RAVAI, AND BOTITU, CONVERSIONS BY LOMANI AND KURUVOLI (WHO WAS LITERALLY ALL-OVER-THE-PLACE), AND LOMANI’S PENALTY. AT ONE POINT, LATE INTO THE GAME IT WAS NECK AND NECK – 24 – 24. BUT SOME QUICK-THINKING AND EXPERT TEAM-PLAY BY ENGLAND CUT FIJI OFF AND ALLOWED ENGLAND TO TRIUMPH IN WHAT WAS A GAME OF ENORMOUS PHYSICALITY, EXCITEMENT, AND MUCH-AFFORDED RESPECT TO SUCH WORTHY ADVERSARIES.

UEFA NATIONS LEAGUE : ENGLAND VS REPUBLIC OF IRELAND – 17/11/2024 (PHOTO – HARRY KANE SCORES)

WHAT A NIGHT FOR ENGLAND LAST NIGHT, WHERE THEY SMASHED IRELAND IN A FIVE-GOAL-THRILLER! IRELAND PLAYED WELL IN THE FIRST-HALF, AND WERE SEEMINGLY VERY WELL-ORGANISED, AND QUITE TOUGH FOR ENGLAND TO BREAK DOWN, AND INDEED, IT WAS STILL 0 – 0 AT HALF-TIME! BUT IN THE SECOND-HALF AT 51 MINS. IRELAND’S LIAM SCALES’ SECOND YELLOW CARD CAUGHT UP WITH HIM AFTER AN OBVIOUS FOUL ON JUDE BELLINGHAM, AND HE WAS RED-CARDED AND SENT OFF. (BY THE LOOK ON THE REF’S FACE, HE DIDN’T RELISH DOING IT!) CUE A POLISHED PENALTY FROM HARRY KANE FROM THE SPOT, WHO, WITH A LITTLE “SOFT-SHOE SHUFFLE” MANAGED TO SEND IRELAND’S CAOIMHIN KELLEHER IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION, HITTING THE BACK OF THE NET EASILY, AS IS HIS WANT, FROM SUCH A DISTANCE. HARRY KANE CELEBRATES AF...
