"That sporting director role rings a nice bell for me. I think that would be a nice gig." Aye, all the fun of being involved in a football club without any of the hassle of having to get up and into the training ground for 10am of a morning at least two days a week. Free ticket and a slap up meal with wine on a Saturday, feet up rest of the time, maybe a little meeting with the manager once a week to pass on his so called nuggets of wisdom. Bet they'll be queueing round the block to get him in.

Got the AEK game on BT Sport, I'll bet their manager Matias Alymeda is probably funnier than the bloke he looks like...

Beaten at home off fourth-bottom Huddersfield, half-empty stadium, 20,000 massive lads fans listening on the radio in the Nissan factory and they question if Graham Potter might fancy taking over from Tcchhoony M. They are the gift that keeps on giving.

I was about to post about exactly the same thing. The part that they fail to realise is that whilst our fans will initially say "that's a shit decision" at the time, we've moved on by the next day and our manager hasn't thrown his toys out the pram like a little bitch either. They were posting and commenting on stuff for weeks about the supposed injustice that they suffered and still haven't let it go the weird cunts.

Mbappe is absolutely shite as well. How overrated can you get. Knock in a hattrick against Amiens but when he plays a proper team he needs corruption to give him a goal.

He's excellent. And he's going to be a world beater.

Never thought I'd be so disappointed after a draw away at PSG. Great performance from the lads, so unlucky. Never 8 mins added on and never a pen. I thought if it deflects off your body onto your arm it's therefore not a pen? We had one overturned Vs Arsenal last season at home for that, must be a PL only interpretation of the rules. Win next time and we get Europa as a minimum or second place if PSG fail to win. Hope we do it, we deserve it.

Hope the VAR and the ref both die in a house fire. Cunts.

Definitely, some of the French birds in Paris are absolutely class.

People sure are making a lot of the 3 keepers thing. We only get 5 subs that we can make per game, he's included 6 outfield players that he trusts (to differing degrees) to introduce into the pitch - given all 6 got on bar Parkinson, who had 25 mins at Bournemouth. He may well only trust the academy lads for short cameos or giving the senior lads a breather late on but he's clearly selected lads he can trust to do that rather than just populate the bench with lads who aren't ready and he won't ever use. Granted there's like an absolute fractionally miniscule chance that we manage to go through Pope, Dubravka, Karius and Gillespie in one match due to injury or red cards but better to have them all sat there than empty seats. Imagine if our injury/suspension crisis suddenly extended to the goalkeeping department and we had an empty seat instead of a registered keeper we needed to use? There'd be hell on if we suddenly had to hoy an outfielder in net. I understand there's a point to then be made about the depth/quality of our U23/academy if we can't scrape together another couple of lads who he can trust, but it's a long process to sort out the shambolic shell it was when we were bought 2 years ago and a lot of the promising ones are out on loan anyway.

Feel like I've said it so many times already this season, but yet again we've racked up goals with a bunch of different goalscorers. It's great how we're not reliant on just the strikers or one player having a purple patch. Great spread today - one from defence, one midfield, one wide and one striker.

Did really well again today, keep forgetting he's only 17. The assist was class, otherwise he kept it simple and tried to pass forwards as much as possible and he looked very assured. Players of that age in a central midfield position can sometimes be bullied or look physically off it but that just hasn't happened so far.

Get innnnn

That's twice Lascelles has done that today, proper circa 2018 play from him.

Shades of Siem De Jong v Aston Villa that header.

Harrison Ashby gone off after 10 mins for Swansea, the injury curse now extending to our loan players

Lascelles did shite giving the ball away, but it wasn't a foul for the slight tap on the shoulder from Trippier. Not sure my post was that confusing?

Lascelles shite. Not a foul either. Fucks sake man.

Schar in the warm up given how this season is going.

Who the fuck is running our medical department? What an absolute shambles.

And now the wall pushers equalise after they should have been 2-0 down. Of course. Cunts.

That's never a foul on the goalkeeper in a million years for fucks sake. It's not fucking netball.

Man City 3-1 Liverpool Burnley 1-2 West Ham Luton 0-2 Palace Newcastle 1-0 Chelsea Forest 1-2 Brighton Sheff United 0-2 Bournemouth Brentford 0-2 Arsenal Spurs 2-2 Villa Everton 0-1 Man United Fulham 1-1 Wolves

Calvert-Lewin deary me. We should see if Duncan Ferguson wants to come out of retirement or failing that see if Darren Anderton wants to get his boots back on and play as a striker.

I can just imagine his view on Schar, a central defender who could actually pass the ball and play. "Bloody fancy dan faffing about too much, needs to clear it, get it into touch, defend properly not lark about with the ball"
