It’s got a lot to live up to, even if I do say so myself.

This was my immediate thought last night when I saw the line-up (especially the midfield) and the subs bench. It was all about the subs. Two games in quick succession at the intensity Hürzeler wants isn’t possible, so he planned to make the first half a non-event by having three centre mids...

A masterclass today. Delap showed monumental naivety by taking JV on like that.

This with bells on. It was simply consistent refereeing after the Pervis foul.

His manner of coping with adversity is why I think Arsenal will never win the league with him in charge. He reacts with incredulity and petulance in the media and on the sideline. His players take his lead and behave like him on the pitch whenever a decision goes against them. It’s a victim...

I have found myself in the same situation after not being able to share my ST as much as I have in previous seasons and admittedly been a bit lax with putting it on the exchange. I gave the club a call, and as is their wont, they were exceedingly polite and patient and explained how I could...

Getting interesting here. Bodø and Brann neck and neck with Brann going on a nine game winning streak to cut Bodø’s lead at the top from 7 points to 0. Can’t wait for the last two home games. I’ve got a season ticket at Brann (and share a ticket in the West stand for when I’m home) and it...

Absolute textbook away win. Apparently Hürzeler can do gritty away wins too! He completely out tacticed Howe.

I really hope he fulfills his potential, gets the number 10 shirt for us at some point, and gives us a few years. His balance and ball control are sublime. If he gets the minutes he needs to become consistent at Leicester, it could be like bringing in a £30m attacking option next season to...

To an extent. It started as soon as they won the title in 2012. The scale of glory hunting here is impressive. There are quite a few Blackburn fans here from their success in the 90’s who have little choice now but to just put on a brave face.

In at least two ways they are, ironically, damaging the product that has created their popularity and success. Off the pitch they are ensuring their financial dominance, undermining the competitiveness of the industry that is based on competition. There is a reason few follow Scottish or German...

I assume “Deano” is actually Neal from Marseille, who is probably fighting himself not to pick up where he left off with Maddison on social media.

I used to love them and go to all their tours. Then three things happened. 1) their new music stopped being that good. 2) I started avoiding large gatherings of people if I could (apart from the Amex), mostly because I hit 40 and can’t arsed with the hassle of traveling and standing and the...

As others have said, 7/9 points with him at left back. Not many natural left backs with experience cope with Saka, so a good effort for an inexperienced midfielder. Personally think this will only help him develop into a better midfielder.

Great point. Ipswich and Forest next up, both at home. You’d really like to think we’d be five games unbeaten after those.

I felt the ref could have calmed the situation down, had a chat with both of them, and told them to behave. Luckily he noticed the snidey flick away from Rice. 9 times out of 10 the (top 6) player gets away with that. Not today. Ha ha.

A bit like Newcastle and Villa fans feeling punished for their success after having to offload players before June 30th. They had a choice of how to use their budget, and both chose to use it getting to the Champions League, and then having to sell assets after achieving it. Anderson and...
