I see a big difference between Clyne and Jagielka. Jag's just saw it coming to him and hit it first time. It could have ended up anywhere but fair does to him, it curled away from the keeper and was unstoppable. Clyne, obviously took a touch to control it and I am sure that the back spin on the ball helped him.

With Pelle's goal, the TV doesn't really do it justice, as from where I was sat, the loop over Green was more exquisite.

I know that they are very different, but can't decide whether it is Clyne's or Pelle's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwOHyJVpn34 (before it get's taken down) http://www.thefootballcafe.com/goals/pelle-vs-qpr/ I think that I would have to go for Clyne's. But what do I know. I thought Osvaldo's was goal of the season last year, but no one else did because of his behaviour.

Gardos vs Toby might be an interesting one. Gardos did well at Arsenal (or so I thought) and while Toby did well against Newcastle (who couldn't??) he didn't seem quite such at ease vs QPR. Or maybe I wasn't watching properly!

You can take all sorts of statistics and get an answer that suits your argument. Personally, I would take some stats from this year and last year and find the rank correlation coefficient.

Bit like talkSport saying at about 5.30 on Saturday that Chelsea had extended their lead.

It has been reported a fair few times that he went to the PSG vs Chelsea UCL game and was looking around to see what other jobs were on offer. His name was in the frame for the PSG job around that time, as well as others in Europe. I think, but could be wrong, that the story was that he was there with his agent, ostensibly for scouting but in reality it was job hunting. Of course I am sure someone will be able to verify or dismiss this, but I think the likes of Guan or another ITKer mentioned it (apologies to Guan if it wasn't you).

No. But when you hear stories of his behaviour in January at the PSG vs Chelsea game, then possibly.

Interesting that people like to put a downer on Pelle for having easy goals in the Eredivisie but the same accusation is not levelled at Zlatan for scoring so freely in Ligue 1. On balance I would have thought overall that Ligue 1 was probably weaker than the Eredivisie. LvG was saying a short while back that Eredivisie was the equal to Serie A!!!!!

At whose expense? Spurs. Not saying there was anything dodgy going on from our manager who had been hawking himself about since January, goes to the team that we would have been replaced in Europa League a competition he now loves.

At whose expense would that have been at?

Problem with these comparisons is that they do not take into account how the opposition has changed over the summer. So really, while it might be interesting, it is a little meaningless.

Would be fascinated to know how many players actually take cuts (that is when age is not a factor). but agree, at £90k, I doubt anyone would sign him.

Are the papers that devoid of content, that they have to start transfer rumours less than a month after the window closed and 3 months before the next one opens?

I think FIFA said the game could be stopped for 3 minutes and I suspect that is what happened (although it felt like longer). I sort of agree with Saggy, but I would almost take it further. Not only have the "blood sub", but if it was clear that someone was concussed, then you could sub him without breaking into your allocation of 3. I realise that this could be abused, but if both team doctors and the ref agreed then it might work. One would hope that team doctors good be impartial in this but it might be asking too much. If that happened, then there would be less reason to endanger a player by keeping him on the pitch. As for the delay on Saturday, we were all over the before it, but after, we were a little more reserved.

As for WBA, quite like Berahino.

Burnley aren't looking good. I was rather hoping that they would do quite well, but I can't see them staying up given the 1st half performance. They've only scored 1 goal this season (in 5½ matches) and that is poor.

Having said what I did earlier.....yesterday, traffic was a bithc. My short cut/alternative was empty. I got the last parking spot in the car park. So when I came across building works on Old Northam Road, I decided not to walk under the ladder on the scaffolding in case the fortune shining down on me disappeared at the game.

Glad to see he was not as light on his feet (if you get my drift) as he was at Arsenal as I thought the penalty was a tad theatrical.

I am not arrogant/delude/stupid/weird enough to think that what I do can influence the outcome of a game. I'm not God.

Tosser on talksport said "Chelsea extend their lead at the top". Urrr, no they don't (save for pedants and goal difference)

Where did 5 minutes come from? The 6 extra for the 1st half was understandable, but 5 at the end of the second????

I had him as MotM, and thought when he went off combined by Hoylett (sp?) coming on for them, we looked a little fragile.

Deano, interesting. I felt the end of the season was a huge anti climax. It wasn't helped by JRod's injury leaving us a little toothless. Opinions opinions.

Morgan's tweet about the 6 year journey being destroyed, while premature maybe in his case, the sentiments might well be applied by Saints fans to Lallana
