They’re doing us zero favours. Their league is part of a much bigger project for them, we’re a side trinket.

It’s not just us - PSR is throttling the market. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c74ljpezv1lo

A point more than we got here last season. Add that to the two additional points we got from Southampton vs their equivalent promoted club that was relegated (Luton), we’re conceivably 3 points off than the same games last season.

Had it been someone else I’d have dug them out too but he’s arguably the most high profile face and view on the UK’s premier platform. Hardly a glowing endorsement when you’ve got him and thick as mince Jamie Redknapp carrying the torch.

I mean even a throwaway comment about a West Ham or Brighton, or NUFC, would have given the piece a bit more credibility. Carragher is ahead on his awareness.

Sat and watched the Gary Neville Podcast on Sky Sports YouTube this morning and he was asked who had a good/bad transfer window so far and he couldn’t answer beyond the Cartel 6. Really shows what the Other 14 are up against, this ingrained focus and attention span on six clubs only. Defaults to Chelsea and Man Utd inevitably. Think it starts about 25 minutes in:

Snap call. If Arsenal win this, they win the title.

Meh. I’d be struggling to see any of the three hitting 20 points by Christmas and Leicester are expecting to be brutalised by a points deduction.

Boro aren’t going anywhere. They’ve choked the last couple of seasons and now they’re treading water. Always love the Dirty Yorkshire puddings in the PL.

“Touching me, touching you…”

They’ll be ok, the three promoted teams are absolute dogshit.

Hopefully the gimpy Palace Ultras might retire their black hoodies for a couple of weeks.

It’s a win-win. They either fuck up and end up blowing their season up and have another loss making year in the 6, or they come up and become whipping boys for a year.

Loving Southampton folding like a cheap south coast deck chair. The useless shites will be Championship check ins by March.

He’s being very tender with the skipper, no headlock so far.

I actually think this happens after today. They’d be wise to cash in and think that’s what’ll happen.

The useless nerd cunt will be drafting some equally inane babel on formations.

Stick to the sausage, chips and beans marra!

No way they’re gambling £65m on one game.

Ditto! Last minute swap in for the injured Solanke.

Not quite as optimistic as you flip, hope they haven’t put all their eggs in one basket.

Been a bit underwhelmed by his decision making. If that comes he’ll be a cracking player.

Who drops out of “main squad” into “bum squad” to accommodate him?

Absolute waste - will be back in Italy by next summer.
