The Merse

Whilst this is a possibility it would take a monumental shift for both the UK and America to lose its most reliable ally in the middle East - even given the religious and cultural differences which don't align with modern western views

Hyundai also wanted their sleeve logo removed so I was surprised to see both

Deliberate elbow for me - the point of his elbow was higher than his own head - that's not leverage that's a total cheap shot which should be viewed as dangerous play - seen red cards for less and you just have to look at the state of his face for confirmation

I think in his own infantile way he is formulating the narrative that it will be all about money spent not Howes coaching therefore ultimately exonerating Bruce from any blame. Because there will be an upgrade to the squad for next season any success will be attributed to that and the old line trotted out about how Bruce could have done the same job will be peddled

Fred has been good today

That brownhill is absolutely hopeless

Erickson is going to end up with a neck injury watching the ball going sailing over him

Lalana doing what he does best

I think we missed Joelinton in there last night - he bullies the opposition

I think it was difficult to assess him because whenever I watched Brighton he was playing lwb so always looked a little awkward when up against a speed merchant. But he never got done really badly which I suppose is a testament to his game awareness - I never realised what a collosus he could be as a centre back though

They should be drinking pints of Ralph's tears

Something to do with that bloke that got Bournemouth relegated

Definitely looked more confident

This fella is sensational

Second half was a tactical masterclass with a load of s housery chucked in

Michael Owens jacket - that is all I have to say

They are a weird bunch - never had an axe to grind with them yet they despise us for some reason which is beyond me

It's not even a Leeds style thumping because they have been rampaging forward creating loads of chances - they create nowt and then constantly leave spurs one on one

If you take Sunderland as an example they flattened loads of their period architecture to build that bridges monstrosity and are left with an eyesore that nobody gives a crap about - I personally think it's important to retain the historical integrity of the city even if it means stymieing the potential plans for the stadium

She can totally have her opinion and I am sure the CEO of any other club could have a similar one ,unfortunately, because its us she is getting pelters in the press for it - it's just more mud that can get slung our way

The media are starting to push the narrative that links between Putin and abramahovic is a recently discovered thing - everybody new it was there - just brushed under the carpet for twenty years - I love Mandy but she should really shut up sometimes

Please let that happen - if only for the sake of Cundy and jacobs

He has his drawbacks and he is being challenged which is a good thing - agreed he has faults but the sight of him getting on the end of one of our corners with his head is a sight to behold - brute force combined with controlled aggression - I find it quite stirring (as you can probably tell)

What was the point of putting kepa on - he has been terrible

I was watching it and I thought it had to be wood - didn't realise till the replay
