Fraction offside. Great cross by Martina though.

Manager's fault. He should make it clear who is the penalty taker before the match begins.

I prefer to give the credit to his brother.

Agreed. I can't see him getting another goal or assist for us again.

Good first round for English UCL teams. Excellent wins for Leicester and City, a good point for Arsenal away to PSG, and Spurs embarrassed at "home".

It's a disgrace they didn't get statues. Shearer has just got one, and Bates got two FFS. To add insult to injury, they were offered improved contract extensions, as if that would make up for it.

I'm pretty certain the ref gave the penalty for Giroud tripping over Jose's legs as he tried to get up. Nothing to do with a shirt tug. And no, if it happened in the Arsenal penalty area I wouldn't think it was a penalty.

So losing £600,000 would be catastrophic for them? Massive club.

If you have a post to spare, what are your thoughts on "could of"?

That's a bit long though. It needs an acronym.

They should at least be honest and rename it the Financially Unfair Club Killer.

Any news on Long?

Either that or to pieces.

Seems fair. We handed them an easy win late last season with a generous declaration, so maybe they can return the favour. Unfortunately, again we'll probably lose instead of drawing.

I'm going to start predicting when 37 games are gone. BTW, I'm surprised some are tipping WBA for the drop. One of the fundamental laws of the universe is that Pulis never gets relegated.

And he duly does, with a useful 60. Still pissed off about Wheater. If we lose by a few runs, his exclusion could've made the difference.

This.

Maybe his arm was caught in the transfer window as it slammed shut?

Bloody ridiculous.

I'm a day behind. Since you're ahead of us please let us know as soon as he's signed. Cheers.

Martin Tyler droning on, reading from a prepared script of historical facts about various players, attempting to sound knowledgable, but in reality being a google-bore and ignoring the action on the pitch half the time. Sometimes he has to interrupt himself to mention, in a half-asleep voice, that the ball is in the back of the net.

Let's hope it's never upgraded to level 3.
