Time is running out now if any Brazilians are to be bought in January. Had hoped that there would be a few more than just Kuol on the young and promising quota.

Might be a good idea to give him a break until the West Ham game. Focus on training and rest. He needs to be fit for the last half of the season. Isak takes care of Southampton.

He fixes another top 4 place for Tottenham before he disappears in the summer.

ManU are not going to sell Mctominay in January and Everton will probably let the new manager get up to speed on Gordon. Think we can relax around these players for now.

Nice cheerleaders, the girls who make halftime entertainment. Have they replaced the eagle that always flew over the course?

Driving drunk is not good. Here it's just for Big Joe to lay flat for everyone and take his punishment. Hopefully he will learn from this and give his best on the field in the last half of the season. anyway, not what we needed now.

There must be 1-2 new players in January. Will most likely be the European Cup next year. The quality of the squad is too poor to play 2 games a week regularly. Then 3-4 players will probably be sold in the summer. Can't get into a situation where «10» new players are to be bought this summer.

Arsenal could have a second chance to sign Barcelona forward Raphinha after missing out during the summer transfer window, the Daily Express reports. The Gunners were keen on signing the Brazilian from Leeds, but a move to Barcelona has not quite worked out. Raphinha has scored just two goals in 20 outings this season and Spanish outlet El Chiringuitohave now reported that he has already been identified for a possible transfer as Barcelona look to balance their finances. A player I hope can be considered if he is to move.

Longstaff needs to improve his finishing. Terrible what he shows match after match.

Bruce rubbishes retirement reports Steve Bruce has told Sky Sports News that contrary to reports elsewhere, he has no immediate plans to announce his retire from football management.

Antoine Griezmann explained why he wears pink hair. He said he wanted to reflect his mood and was torn between that colour and blue. "As there are three girls at home and only two boys, pink won out," he said.

VAR in the matches in the FA Cup where the VAR infrastructure is in place.

Cambridge last year and Sheffield W this year.

Should get out on loan. Is still far from PL quality if he ever gets it.

But what team in the world would think of buying him? It is hardly possible to put together a best of Murphy's films. Have to cut and paste a lot then.

Palace are a disappointing team. You never know what you'll get. Should have buried this game in the first 45.

Strangely, ManU have hardly been good this year, but still very much in the fight for the top 4.

Out of curiosity. How do Chelsea and Tottenham stack up in terms of financial fair play?

What has Matt Targett done wrong?

Thought Renan Lodi was going to be good, but hasn't been convincing at Forest. Was hoping Jamal Lewis would take some steps.

This will end up like the Liverpool game I fear.

Then it will be the World Cup from the bench for him.
