Watching England fail is a favourite past time of the Irish (we make no apologies about it) but we do hold our hands up to the hypocrisy of cheering on English teams and players while willing the nation to fail repeatedly at championship finals. Its not out of ill will its just we can't be hearing about it for the next 60 years.

In Arsenal news, reports that Saliba maybe out for 4 or 5 months, Leo sent his goodbye message and Arsenal are linked with a speedy winger.

Leandro Trossard has left the building, he had a great career with Arsenal and he was only out performed in terms of goals and goal involvements by Saka. We wish him well and thank you for his impact.

In other news transfer rumours are building but nothing concrete to deal with currently.

I encountered a clip from @thejcharm on instagram which I played on the pod, an open invite to him to come on.

Someone has been telling lies about a transfer fee/agreement in relation to Bruno, Alvarez seems to be back on the radar and Villa lose a midfield corner stone that may impact the Rogers move. Its all starting to move as Leo says his goodbyes

While it is entirely possible that FIFA will allow Messi to score a hand of God goal to knock out England, Declan Rice steals the show as a good guy with his comments about Martin Odergaard and the bond they have.

7 Players will be at the World Cup until the last games, Arsenal captain Martin Odergaard can go on his summer holidays as Jude Bellingham sends Norway home.

I address the usual rumours, ex United players are still shilling for Rashford.

Today I saw Mikel Merino score to put Spain through to the semifinal of the World Cup and saw the documentary the club put out about him, its a very interesting watch and he comes across as a good guy

Arsenal completed the signing of Ilan Meslier he has been given the squad number 30, click-bait media are pushing lots of nice titles but in reality there isn't much happening.

Should Ben White stay or go Vote in the poll.

So Arsenal is the preferred destination of the Bruno Guimaraes according to reports it's a signing that would raise the floor and give great depth and cover for Declan Rice.

Clearly both are very different players but statically both are in similar places, in terms of attacking rankings Bruno seems to offer more than Declan Rice.

We have had our issues in the past I think we can all forgive him that should he pull in the red and white of Arsenal.
