Wat.

We paid less than £10M for a full back from Southampton, and look how that turned out . 22.5M is shitloads, but it solves a problem they have, potentially for a decade or so. When you have all the money in the world that's a reasonable trade-off.

Liverpool miles and miles ahead of us in turnover, despite us finishing ahead of them four years in a row. It's a little dispiriting.

I didn't even realize Ki was on loan. That's two years running their best player is on loan .

My first reaction was "Que?", but it does make sense. I don't think it's a coincidence that Platini has made this happen when it's France who benefit, but there you go.

Nah its always good to see somebody crack under pressure Absolutely. As long as it's not us. I really enjoyed the Man U/Sunderland one (sorry).

I have some sympathy with this, but nobody is making the obvious point that the home team get an extra 30 minutes at their home ground, in front of their own fans. It doesn't seem a totally unreasonable trade-off.

The Berba to Spurs thing might just happen. Not sure what to think about it. I mean, he's one of my favorite players - ever, tbh - but there are so many possible issues.

I've not been watching too closely, but I feel like this is the first decent game I've seen Mason have.

Terrible play by Jozy to set that up.

I'm thinking like that, but that it will be a Man U breakaway goal.

Who was it on here who talked about Ki being a tidy player? Absolutely right. He uses the ball so well with both feet.

We've crossed the Rubicon tbh.

I'll be asking for that Aussie home shirt for my birthday.

It would help. It wouldn't sort the whole thing out, obviously, but it would at least address one of the problems.

I can live with it if they're Under-21 and loaned outside the Prem, though obviously they could still stockpile kids if that was the case. It's intra-league loans that should be the first target for the FA.

As if us or Everton are at the party. We're the team who had no penalties last year.

As if Arsenal and Chelsea don't get the same generosity.

He didn't completely lose his man, but Dzeko timed his run beautifully and Taylor was just a touch slow to react. The Williamson issue is that it looked like if he put a bit of effort in he'd have cut the cross out.

Damn, forgot about the delay here .

Tiote .

Relegation battle looks like a corker this year. Villa, Stoke and Swansea will be expected to lose this week, which would leave six points separating the bottom 11 teams. Everyone below Southampton is in real danger.

I said before today that there are three worse teams than the mackems. Not that Sunderland are any good, but they have a manager who might make the difference. Which three? Palace actually looked decent today.

WHen was the last time Sunderland scored four in the league? And away?

Jedinak finally booked. Hate that style of reffing.
