Dr Gloom

He’s still a great goal scorer and has lots to offer the England squad. I don’t think he should remain England captain. He’s a lot like Shearer was at the end of his career. Not the most mobile and should be rotated and rested against certain opposition depending on how England set up.

This so is obviously going back to court. Man Ciry will win and Masters will be made to look a mug. Again

if you can't enjoy it for what it is, i feel sorry for you. it's brilliantly executed and edited, with a superb turn by david tennent

true. If Man City or Real came calling I think Isak’s head would be turned and I wouldn’t stand in his way. I don’t see us selling him to arsenal unless they pay silly money

They are ahead of us as things stand but only because of the rules put in place to slow our progress which are currently under scrutiny. Let’s see if Isak plays the long game, or not. If I were him and started to agitate for a move I would want to go to a club with a genuine chance of winning big titles. I’m not convinced Arsenal are that club. In the 2000s, I would agree. Yes, they came close in two recent seasons but they already look to be spluttering.

we haven't seen the saudis sell a big player yet. we've barely sold anyone of note tbh. it'll be interesting to see if the PSR rules do what they're designed to do, and prevent is from competing or if the saudis have other ideas. they've played very nice so far. will that continue when there is uncertainty around the future for the APT rules, or will they sttart to test the water?

you think he's going to go on strike to play for a team we just beat comfortably on a single point more than us in the league? fair play to him if he want to go to real or barca but i'd be annoyed if he went to anyone else in the league other than man city. i think the saudis would too and i don't think they would sanction it.

£150m for a world class CF

There’s nothing to dislike about Gordon really. He seems humble, intelligent for a footballer, articulate, generous with his time - and that’s just off the field. On the field he’s been among our best players for almost 18 months, chipping in with regular goal contributions, works tirelessly, particularly off the ball, as Howe demands, fast as fuck and deservedly an England international. I wouldn’t sell him for less than £100m

They can Isak if they fancy paying £150m in cash. Otherwise, move along. This is similar to us saying we should sign Mbeumo. I’m sure Brentford fans feel similar.

and all of our politicians remain too scared to mention the b word. it's pathetic.

Great lad. His cartwheeling needs a little practice

I can’t take a middle aged man with that haircut seriously. It looked shit when you were young ffs

this must have been during the early days of your bromance with CT

we started it because i heard from loads of people that the latest season is really good, and that it's very watchable from the outset, but we've got three to get through before we get to the new one. could be one of those exceptions you mention. i'll report back

andrew had the right idea moving to NZ. i would consider similar if farage ever got close to power here.

i'm a bit late to the party but started slow horses last night. pretty watchable start with a good turn from gary oldman, as you would expect. it was a tossup between that and sweetpea but we went for the former because there are more seasons to binge if we get into it

CT's redemption arc is more impressive than Joelinton's tbh

lovely technique wasn’t it, the way he wrapped his foot around the ball to strike it so sweetly on the volley

I hope Tuchel has the balls to follow Carsley’s lead and rotates Kane. Giving the captaincy to Bellingham would be a statement of intent. Clearly Kane still has loads to offer but his lack of mobility and his penchant for dropping deep mean he isn’t suitable to start games when we’re trying to press from the off. He’s still a great player for the right opposition but I don’t think he’s got the legs anymore to remain an automatic starter/captain

don’t leave man. I enjoy your contributions. It’s okay not to agree about everything
