Please don’t let Jesus by injured. Just ONE game without a big injury, please.

Raya doesn't fill me with confidence.

 

I felt much better with Aaron, honestly.

All the stats say that Raya is better but... From the games so far, they're wrong.

 

I don't think he's at that point yet regardless of today. I think he's made some questionable decisions and should take some blame, but there's a lot of things outside of his control. Having no fit LB for nearly the whole season. Individual errors (Onana repeatedly, McTominay today almost). His 30 goal Forward forgetting how to play football.

It's a bad start to the season, no doubt, and he's no longer unquestionable like last year, but he's still pretty low down the list of issues for me.

 

So the real group of death is any group with Bayern in it.

 

Tonali banned for 10 months.

 

That's a lot of Wetherspoons breakfasts till next August, remembering to order extra black pudding and trying to ignore the fruit machines.

 

This is a really good deep dive from Thierry Henry on the differences and similarities of the on-ball and off-ball setups from Real Madrid and Arsenal

 

With all the extra free time, I hope he's going to give a run down of all the best breakfast spots in the north east.

 

On a less flippant note, I hope the club follows through on the sorts of things Howe has been saying about supporting him. We've not got a good recent(ish) history with looking after players who can't play.

Coming to England in the first place seems like it's been a bit of a hit for him and getting himself into this additional mess can't be doing him any good at all. It sounds like he'll duck a training ban at least, which means he won't be totally isolated. I thought that element of Toney's ban felt draconian.

 

Everton gonna face harsh penalties while City just goes about their business.

 

Make An Example Out Of FC.

 

How many would Haaland score in the 6th tier?

Bet he'd struggle against mighty teams like Curzon Ashton and Banbury United.

 

Seriously, though, fuck The Telegraph for publishing this story less than 24 hours into the club being in mourning. It's insulting.

 

I don't think I like Dortmund. They're looking rather good.

 

Not sure if Celtic being up at half or this match having three goals at half is a bigger surprise to me.

 

That was an ridiculous goal by Young Boys. Good grief that is a filthy chip.

 

2 defeats in 2 for Rooney. Early days yet but I bet Eustace is smiling.

 

End of this game is killing me.

 

Woodwork again!!

 

Fuuuuuuckkkk thiiiiiissss
