Football is weird sometimes. Eberechi Eze would likely be going to the World Cup if he'd stayed at Palace. Was in great form, a key player. Joins Arsenal, scores a derby hat-trick, and then...nothing. First league start in two months last night and he was hooked at half time. Every time he has got ...

She was on talksport yesterday discussing the points she raised. I felt awkward just listening to it. it really just felt like she is upset at no longer being given the opportunities that she wants as a pundit, of which there are only a small handful in the whole country, and she has taken it very ...

You should have seen the BBC bug. Someone will relate what happened, for all matches. It was impossible to find our score,, and we were playing 55 mins of added time at the end of the first half. When I checked in on the PL scores I was expecting to read about a catalogue of concussions, ACLs and b...

Spurs do have a lot of injuries but they look pretty gutless right now.

Time for Big Sam to peel the cucumber off his eyes?

GOTS contender from Sesko to “break West Ham’s hearts”.

Looks like he’s going to turn out alright that fella.

I see that Aluko woman has been at it again.

She really should learn to quit when she’s behind.

I was wondering the other day about whether they could introduce a rule where goalkeepers could handle the ball in both boxes, not just their own. oppo keeper obv couldn't throw it directly into the goal though. Corner would come in and you'd have both keeper in there trying to catch it. Visions of...

windermereROYAL Actually I`d like to see a new rule introduced for corner kicks where no player is allowed inside the 6 yard box until the corner is taken, the goalkeepers are in a no win situation, they have nowhere to go.
Not sure it`ll happen but it should.

Agreed.

But still have 46 goals, 2nd behind city on 49 who`s highest scorer has 20. They have a lot of goals but watching goals from corners is not that alluring to make you want to watch them. Efficient and with a deep squad I think they are near certs to win the league this season especially as they usua...

FWIW - I said dull, not shit.

They can only be judged at the end of the season, but in probably 50% of the games, as Orion suggests, they are just dull. If it works and they come away with a good haul (incl the PL) then fair play, but it feels they have the hand break on so often and it’s not great to watch, which, with the tale...

Palace now have both Mateta and Strand Larsen.

Obviously I could be proved very wrong (maybe I’ve just seen the wrong games) but crikey, £48m for THAT?

Sutekh
And are Liverpool fixed? Ripped Newcastle a new one yesterday, have they actually turned up for the season now?

Could be.

Wirtz is getting better every game - it took a while but he is terrific to watch.

Looking to run the clock down by, amongst other things, taking the ball to the corner with 13+ mins left rather than trying to score again did not please me.

No idea whether stats back me up but if Arsenal don’t score from set plays or something created by the wingers getting to the byline they don’t seem to score. Yes it is difficult to stop but it’s all too predictable. All the recent talk has been about Man Utd getting Tuchel, Ancelotti, Alonso next ...

genome The enigma that is Tottenham:

17th in the Premier League home table
2nd in the Premier League away table

2nd in the Champions League home table
28th in the Champions League away table

Good statting!

Royal Rother WTF was all that with the towels?

I don't understand why more isn't being made of this.

Ball boys (or were they subs?) literally dragging the reserve keeper along the ground trying to take the towel away and then chasing him round the perimeter of the pitch.

Nuts.

Looked to me like Morocco were supposed to win that tournament.

But cheaters sometimes don’t win. WTF was all that with the towels?

Yes to all that. I keep saying I don’t think Arteta has what it takes to win the PL, and their display yesterday did nothing to dispel that thought but if City are going to be that bad then maybe Arsenal will, almost by default. Guehi could make the difference I suppose. Or maybe Havertz can make th...
