Prem results now pretty much all going to way I wasn't wanting, and Wolves, Forest and Bmouth were all winning at the same time at one stage.

Goals galore in the top of the table Championship much. Sheff Utd 4 Burnley 2, 70 mins.

You'd probably think something like. Likely: Trippier, Pope, Schaar, Bruno, Possibly / probably: Kuol, Wilson Unlikely: Joelinton, Botman It's an interesting one. The likes of Joelinton and Botman would probably hardly feature if they were selected having never previously made a senior squad (I don't think), but it would be good for their morale if selected, but probably better for NUFC if they went to Saudi instead, so I probably hope they aren't selected, since it isn't too likely. Wilson is a bit different - he probably won't feature too much either, unless desperate, but he is nearly 31, probably his last chance of a World Cup, and very much in contention to go and (he) would be gutted if he missed out, so I probably hope he is selected.

I was jokingly going to say a shot for every time Ronnie Radford is mentioned during the Hereford vs Portsmouth coverage, but didn't realise he died 2 days ago - not sure how I missed that, Newcastle United even tweeted about it.

Who's the woman who is there most weeks? It's probably just a Mail / Express journalist equivalent like a Bird, Hope, Waugh etc. but she sounds so familiar, as if she's on TV, but I can never think of who it is, and have the same thoughts every time I listen to an Eddie press conference Anyone know?

That's ridiculous.

Ludogorets!

It'll make the Conference League a bit more interesting if there are some big sides involved. West Ham, Villareal, Lazio, Fiorentina will all be involved in the knockout stage, plus Braga and Roma as it stands. It might benefit us later in the season if West Ham have some proper tough ties rather than being like 5-0 up from the first leg and can just field a bunch of kids in the away leg, like they are largely doing tonight having already topped their group.

Arsenal 1-0, Tierney (good goal), so not as much intrigue now, so I'll switch to Roma as well.

I'm watching Arsenal while it's still live. Not as bothered about them as I think they're far too far ahead of us and would probably be better if they beat the other big 6 sides, but would be interesting if, like Man Utd, they have to play a last 32 match. If Arsenal score, or Bodo Glimt take the lead against PSV then I'll likely change. Roma vs Ludogorets is a straight shootout for 2nd place and the other will drop to the Conference. A draw suits the Bulgarians - I;'ll probably switch to that at some point, unless Roma go into a commanding lead.

These once great Eastern European clubs are as confusing as f*ck. West Ham currently playing a FC FCSB, and there's another Steaua Bucharest in the league below - no idea which one is which Also in the Bulgarian top flight you've got CSKA Sofia as well as CSKA 1948 Sofia.

Hopefully Sociedad hold on to ensure Man Utd have a couple of extra matches that they won't want - very likely to be against good opposition as well.

Barclays Manager shortlist Mikel Arteta (ARS) P5 W4 D1 L0 GD+9 Arsenal began the month with victories over Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool, going through the month unbeaten and dropping only two points, maintaining their place at the top of the league. Pep Guardiola (MCI) P5 W4 D1 L0 GD+9 Guardiola's Manchester City side started October with a thrilling 6-3 derby win over Manchester United and kept the pressure on leaders Arsenal with four victories from their five matches in the month. Eddie Howe (NEW) P6 W5 D1 L0 GD+13 Newcastle United were top scorers in an unbeaten October, scoring four or more goals in half of their matches, including a 4-1 triumph at Fulham and a 5-1 home success over Brentford. They returned more points than any other side in the month to move into fourth place. They've managed to get that wrong. Man City lost to Liverpool, so their October record is W4 D0 L1 , not W4 D1 L0

Has to be Eddie, surely. Eddie W5 D1 L0 Arteta W4 D1 L0 Pep W4 D0 L1 More wins for Eddie, but also, Arsenal's draw was vs Southampton, ours was at Old Trafford.

Milan vs Salzburg is a direct shootout. The Austrians need to win.

Spurs now currently topping the group after Frankfurt equalise in the other match.

I'm watching on the BT Sport app so about 45 seconds behind, plus had to make sure it actually was Mbemba

Chancellor!

Lots of familiar PL faces in the Marseille side - Bailly, Mbemba, Sanchez, Tavares. Payet on the bench.

Looking forward to the Spurs match. That group is so tight so bound to be a fair few changes in standing throughout the evening. Definitely watching that tonight over the Goals Show as there is very little riding on the other groups. I guess it's a long time until 4.30pm Sunday, and had they have been playing Thursday evening instead then it may have been different, but Liverpool have gone far stronger than I was expecting for an almost dead rubber (famous last words...) There can't be any positional changes in the Bayern-Barca-Inter group.

Modern day Sunderland legend alongside Quinny, Sewpa Kev, Bally, and er, Nicky Summberbell?

Devon derby is a good watch. 2-2 after 57 mins. Bali Mumba, ex Sunderland, has just equalised for Plymouth. Exeter twice ahead, but quickly pegged back both times.

Interesting League One match on Sky tonight. Plymouth vs Exeter, Devon derby. Quite a fierce rivalry apparently. Plymouth are top and have 32 points from their last 12 matches which is insane, whereas Exeter can close in on the play off places with a win.

Must admit, I proper cheered that Leeds goal. They were great, and I was hoping they would have seen it out to get a well earned point, but wasn't expecting them to get a winner at all. A very enjoyable match.

Did Boyd say that's Wilson's 5th penalty this season?
