By the laws of the game if a player already has a yellow he can't then get a straight red, it has to be yellow followed by red. Regardless of the infringement. You what? That surely can't be right.

A lot more likely than being sacked. Couldn't blame him really.

Or, it could be the glorious start to a Bank Holiday drinking session.

Will any income be available for players though? Ah, sorry. Forgot to say. The huge operating costs of running the Internet in order to support re-investment means all money goes to the bank immediately.

Bosingwa is an odd one. If he were to be regularly playing it's a no-brainer, but what happens when Luiz and Ivanovic are back?

Had him on the bench like a few others, but can't really complain as I have Hart who'll probably get the most points out of any keeper.

Wonder if the added travel will have any impact on Fulham. I know you're also playing away on Thursday, but they're in Ukraine, then are 300 miles north of London. Don't think people should underestimate Fulham, they have some good players, but it's the sort of game you should be winning if you want to really progress this year.

It's August. It's Everton. Personally, think you're much better off selling him for a cheaper defender and spend the money saved elsewhere.

Do yourself a favour and save some money on Baines.

Very tempted to replace Shawcross with Enrique like. Same price.

Everything is relative. For a team who have had the players they have had, and the funds they've had seemingly available, not to win a trophy in 6 years now? Yes, I can see why some Arsenal fans are annoyed.

53 points with Smalling and Bale to play tonight. Looks like being a very solid first 2 weeks.

Each season I think his patience is running out but each season he stays. It's not an unlikely possibility at all really.

Moyes will not be sacked. 100%.

After unquantifiable amounts of unjustified over-confidence, they've decided that in the light of eternity, the game and the result didn't really matter? Sounds about right.

They all need to be concluded. Fast.

All about balance, certainly, but for teams like Newcastle and Everton, this competition should be taken seriously IMO. No, I'm not saying to play your strongest team but it warrants, fitness permitting, a decent core of first teamers playing in games like this.

Silva best get 3 bonus points (which means 6 as he's my captain).

Frightening selection of attacking players like.

Yep, would like to see us get the ball on the deck because there's been a lot of hoofball so far. Will require a lot of patience though, Fulham will probably turn up with the intention of merely existing for 60 minutes then taking advantage of any frustration that may develop. In fairness, Fulham are hardly Stoke. They're very capable of going to SJP and attacking yous. Equally though, this is the type of game you should be aiming to win if you really want to progress this season.

Jon's comment amused me greatly and I don't really know why. Because I am always really funny. That's probably your funniest comment of all.

Out of interest, what other players in this league do you deem to be world class?

He's scored in both games he's played this season and arguably been MoM in both. The fuck do you want him to do?

I know. It's not as if he's an exceptional footballer or anything, ey?
