Ketsbaia

No chance I'll be watching at home - this isn't Burnley (H), it's a cup final. Assuming that a few big screens will be around town, I think I'd rather be there than London - although travelling down there for work is a regular occurrence. No chance of a ticket, except perhaps through work colleagues. Fingers crossed.

Back in a cup final, man. I'm still just gobsmacked. I was too young to realise the rarity of them in '98 and '99, before the Ashley years, so this one just feels like absolutely everything. OK, it's only the League Cup. And OK, we're underdogs for this final. But life is about love, emotions and experiences and I cannot wait to passionately go through all three on Sunday 26th February. We're actually in a motherfucking cup final. Newcastle United. Holy shit

Another really good signing for them. They're definitely reaching the play-offs, like.

Lewis Grabban vibes. Love it.

Best/Favourite match: In future, the Final will probably be looked at as the match of our lifetime Best/Favourite goal: Nothing particularly stands out, maybe the Chavez free kick Best/Favourite player: Messi Best/Favourite moment for your team: Winning the World Cup Best/Favourite 'other' moment: All those Lukaku misses in quick succession Worst/Least favourite moment/anything: Having to write about it for work took away some of the joy, to be honest. Stress, deadlines, taking up weekends etc. Found a lot of the early weeks mind-numbingly boring too.

Know there's a long way to go but I'm still convinced they're going up. Jammy twats, as always.

These unlimited free transfers hopefully went OK, was a chance to sort things out and lock in a long-term defence. It's now only really missing De Bruyne and Kane but you can't have 'em all!

I've wanted Argentina to win all along (fuck England) but haven't really considered a scenario where France lose this.

Fucking Morocco man Hopefully it's a France-Argentina final, the only one worthy, but the way this tournament is going it's probably Croatia v Morocco. Howay Messi

I'm the opposite to most with this tournament - was really looking forward to it but was quickly bored by it. Didn't even bother watching England last night.

A day of mixed emotions because Argentina finally squeezed through but losing Brazil is shit. Now that the stress is over...... what an incredible free kick by the Dutch. Ballsy as fuck. Still can't get over it

Traumatic gameweek so far.

It will drop, yes. The deadline has already passed for Gameweek 11 but its a quick turnaround for these midweek matches.

In a world of mass sackings, it's kind of incredible that Hasenhuttl is still there.

He'll not make an impact there

Gave it a watch (for work reasons) and feared the worst after the opening sketch. Call me crazy but the rest wasn't as horrific as I thought it'd be. May even have been one chuckle.

6/10 for me. Think we really need those one or two players but last night's performance at Anfield prevented that final push. Not too many games until January though.

All-out on 85 points. It was both a good FPL week and yet the one where Captain Salah blanks in a 9-0..... that one ain't getting forgotten about for a long, long time

Still can't get over this For some shady reason, Neil has made this sideways (at best) move to Stoke. Everytime they get a decent manager their progress stops when they're poached by England (Allardyce) or Stoke. Bet they wished they lost to Stoke last weekend. Like Spurs 0-3 Man Utd last season which kept Solskjaer and pushed Spurs to get Conte

Isak has been added as £7.0m

The Isak excitement has been immediately brought down by West Ham and Paqueta. He was the one

Update: Down from 85k to 982k A truly traumatic gameweek, no matter what Salah (c) does. Best ever GW2 rank, now my worst ever GW3 rank. Mental game, this

Global rank has dropped from 85k to 568k today The drop was huge before Arsenal's defence bagged a clean sheet, so not sure how that happened. And captaining Salah over Jesus will probably be the right call, too!

These are annoying pricks, like. Just stay down there.

Has Houssem Aouar fallen off a cliff over the last season or so? I thought he was meant to be class but to see Forest get a clear run at him for just €15m seems insane.
