The Ramble: Gary Neville lost the war

Marcus thinks the Man United players should drive their Shame Cars™ to training this morning. He’s on hand with Luke, Jim and Pete to pore over Liverpool’s demolition job, as Bruno Fernandes lost his head on the pitch and Gary Neville lost his head in the studio.


Elsewhere, wild celebrations at the Emirates get interrupted by a lost child - at least Richard Keys approved of them this time. Luke also questions whether James Ward-Prowse offers anything other than free kicks. Would you expect him to think anything else?

Should Arsenal sell Tierney to raise funds for Declan Rice pursuit?

Kieran Tierney could be useful in helping Arsenal sign Declan Rice. But how so?

Oleksander Zinchenko has really changed the dynamics of Arsenal’s style of play. The way the Ukrainian international covers the left back, the midfield, and leads the attack has him undroppable, which has left Kieran Tierney warming the bench.

Slowly, it is starting to seem like Kieran Tierney is in his last months at Arsenal. In fact, Football Insider insists that Arsenal have a £30 million price on his head, saying they will be willing to cash in on the Scottish titan.

Arsenal reportedly need to raise a huge amount to convince West Ham to sell them Declan Rice, and they see Tierney as a reasonable sale in that endeavour. Football Insider writes, “With the Gunners planning to spend big on a new midfielder in the summer, with Declan Rice also a top target, there will need to be sales to balance the books.

“One player who could raise a significant fee is Tierney, the deputy left-back squeezed out by the excellent form of 2022 signing Aleksandr Zinchenko.”

Should Arsenal take Wilf Zaha on a free transfer this summer?

Hello Gooners…  Is a Wilfred Zaha summer move a deal you would fancy? I ask you this as there is an update from talkSPORT’s lead journalist Garth Crook about Zaha choosing to stay in London and being potentially signed by Arteta, who likes him.
Anyone who’s up to date with the latest PL news knows Zaha is one of the quality free agents who will be available for nothing in the summer once their current deals expire. Palace has tried all it can to convince the 30-year-old to commit his future, but that has turned out to be an endless pursuit.
Speaking to talkSPORT, Crook said: “It certainly seems that Wilf Zaha’s stellar career at Crystal Palace could be coming to an end.
“His contract is up at the end of the season – no imminent sign that he is willing to extend. And if he is to go and achieve his ambitions of playing for a top club, it’s now or never really isn’t it?
“When you look at his age, the fact that he’s available as a free agent, he either commits his future to Crystal Palace and then probably sees out his top-flight career there.
“Or he goes off and tests himself, I think there will be suitors, I know Mikel Arteta is a fan, I know that Chelsea have certainly taken a look at him in the past as well.”
Though some Gooners looking at Zaha’s age may be against his pursuit, he could be a good buy. Next season, Arsenal may need to be at their best ever; defending the PL title and also re-establishing their presence in the Champions League may be on the cards.
If you were to name the top 10 PL wingers at the moment, Zaha will be somewhere on that list; on a good day, he’s that good. Getting him on a free transfer and having him as some sort of backup winger, how rewarding will that be?

Madrid makes Bellingham alternative plan that could affect Arsenal

Gabri Veiga is the latest Spanish youngster that is catching top European clubs’ attention.

The midfielder plays for Celta Vigo and has done well since he broke into their first team, which has made him ripe for a move to a top club.

Arsenal has received glowing reports about his progress and the Gunners reportedly have him on their shortlist of summer targets.

However, they are not alone and a report on Todofichajes reveals Real Madrid also wants him.

The Whites want to sign Jude Bellingham from Borussia Dortmund at the end of this season, but it is not an easy piece of business to conduct.

Agent is pushing for Barcelona to beat Arsenal to a Premier League midfielder

Ruben Neves has been on Arsenal’s radar for a long time as one of the Premier League’s top midfielders and the Portuguese star could finally leave Wolves in the summer.

Arsenal has continued to improve its squad and might add a new midfielder to it when the transfer window reopens.

Football Espana reveals the Gunners remain keen and will attempt to add him to their squad at the end of this season.

However, Mikel Arteta’s men face competition from Barcelona to achieve that, with Todofichajes revealing the Catalans are also keen to replace Sergio Busquets with the Premier League star.

It claims his agent Jorge Mendes also favours a move to Barca and is working on getting the Spaniards to add him to their squad.

A CPAC Speaker Wants Transgenderism “Eradicated”

The Conservative Political Action Conference, the New York Times reported on Saturday, is not what it used to be. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis skipped out on what has for years been the conservative movement’s premier cattle call. Mike Pence will be at a donor retreat instead. Fox News will not be streaming the event, nor will its popular hosts be speaking from the stage. Matt Schlapp, the chairman of the American Conservative Union, which organizes the event, was recently accused by a Republican campaign aide of groping, and his star is, it’s fair to say, somewhat diminished.

But if CPAC has fallen from its pedestal, it remains a useful barometer for gauging where the conservative base is, and where it is headed. And the future, right now, looks grim as hell.

Here’s Michael Knowles, a commentator at Ben Shapiro’s Daily Wire, receiving a loud cheer for saying that “transgenderism must be eradicated from public life.”

Michael Knowles tells CPAC that "there can be no middle way in dealing with transgenderism. … Transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely." https://t.co/57hJF4frgq pic.twitter.com/szvnC1qWrP

Blow for Arsenal as Caicedo signs a new Brighton deal

Arsenal has been handed a major blow ahead of the summer transfer window as Moises Caicedo has extended his contract with Brighton.

The Gunners targeted the midfielder in the January window and he even penned an open letter to his current employers to let him leave.

However, the Seagulls turned down the offers and Arsenal gave up the chase and moved for Jorginho instead.

The league leaders are expected to target more players in the summer and some reports suggest they will return for the Ecuadorian.

Having almost lost the midfielder in January, Brighton has moved to secure his future, with The Sun reporting that he has signed a new deal until 2027 with the Seagulls.

Brazil’s coach ignores Arsenal stars in latest call up

Despite Arsenal’s form and their prominent contributions, Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Magalhaes haven’t been called up by Brazil in their latest squad.

The South American nation is now being managed on an interim basis by their U20 coach Ramon Menezes and he will oversee their next few games before a permanent coach is appointed.

Having missed out on a place in the World Cup squad, Gabriel has been a key member of the Arsenal defence that could win the Premier League this season.

However, the defender has been ignored alongside Martinelli, with the coach naming a youthful side that includes Chelsea’s new boy Andrey Santos, 18 and Arsenal target Vitor Roque, 18, as the Daily Mail reports.

Donald Trump Enters the “What About Flying Cars?” Phase of His Career

Donald Trump has been running for president for more than three months, but it has sometimes been easy to forget. Fox News, which lent him an endless supply of on-air advertising during his last two campaigns, has all but blacklisted him, offering hours of free programming instead to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Although Elon Musk’s Twitter reinstated the former president’s account, Trump is still posting his half-baked thoughts on his preferred social-media site, Truth Social, instead. There is just a lot less of Trump in the news these days, which is good for most people—who frankly deserve a break—but is perhaps of a troubling sign for a man who has been powered by publicity for most of his adult life. 

What is the point of a third Trump campaign, beyond settling an (admittedly quite large and ever growing) number of scores? What is “The Wall,” now that he’s already built one? On Friday, Politico offered a glimpse at Trump’s new policy direction: He’s going to become an urbanist. 

Per Politico:

​​Trump’s plan…calls for holding a contest to design and create up to ten new “Freedom Cities,” built from the ground up on federal land. It proposes an investment in the development of vertical-takeoff-and-landing vehicles; the creation of “hives of industry” sparked by cutting off imports from China; and a population surge sparked by “baby bonuses” to encourage would-be-parents to get on with procreation. It is all, his team says, part of a larger nationwide beautification campaign meant to inspire forward-looking visions of America’s future.

Futuristic cities on federal land with flying cars. No notes!
