And more than ten years since Theo left - and according to this, only now has he fund his 'extra gears'. What a sad indictment of Arsenal's coaching methods. He could have been so much greater. Hopefully he still has time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/37707349

And this...

Row row row your boat... So-so-Sofiane Sofiane Boufal He comes from Morocco And he really hates Pompey. Oi.

Top 8 in the league tonight could easily be the top 8 at the end of the season - and not necessarily in the current order. Looking below us and there's no reason at all why we should be falling down the table. Tough couple of games coming up but we're a top 8 side now.

Four players now in the U21s - congrats to Jack Stephens. Hope he can push on at St Marys too...

We were rubbish by recent standards. But it's a decent point. We're still one centre forward short...

Which one of you barstewards nicked Cuco's boots before he got on the plane? Jeez...

Great free-kick JWP - undefendable

Maybe it doesn't bother you as you shell out more and more to watch a game of football that there are people like Allardyce already earning millions and living the dream, but still trying to get more money from dodgy businessmen they've never met before. It bothers me.

Redknapp talking absolute b0ll0cks about Allardyce on BT Sport. There's a surprise. He's been set up, innit, by unscrupulous people. It's a trap, innit. No Harry, he was a greedy ferking idiot.

Can't believe we didn't replace Pelle. Who's going to score in this team? Reed out.

Fair assessment, although a bit harsh on Cedric IMO. But yes - home wins against Watford and Sunderland and we'd be 9th, 2 points off the top four and thinking this is an OK start with a new manager. Remain toothless against bottom half teams, and we'll be in trouble. Calling Sofiane Boufal to the pitch, please. Mr Boufal to the pitch.

This. I've seen him play in France. Qual. It. Y.

Good for Alex - and great moment for SFC.

Has Stanciu signed yet?

I can confirm that we are definitely interested in Boufal. High placed sources reveal he is from Morocco and he has two arms, two legs and a dodgy knee. FWIW I think he'll be a massive success. COYR

He may be a genuine talent but he's been badly advised to go to Red Bull Leipzig. Germany's MK Dons with a hundred times as much money, roundly hated by everyone.

Agreed, it was 'OK'. V pleased that VVD was so hacked off though. No settling for second best. Got to do better.

Never in any doubt...

Moneybags Ron, Poch and Pardew - who else has three of their recent former managers working in the Prem? Suggests our recruitment has been outstanding imo

What is wrong with a wet fanny? COYR

Good word, Chernobyllian. But I thought he was the Belarussian false nine we were trying to sign from Dinamo Mogilev.

You could file this under 'he would say that, wouldn't he' - but I liked it anyway. https://www.premierleague.com/news/74195 1-1 (Redmond)

Yeah I was just as happy after we'd beaten Stockport at home as when we beat Man Utd away. Every day is a new day.
