Did well - they targeted him quite a bit second half and had to face up Sanchez a number of times which is never easy. Positionally he still has room for improvement.

Long was injured.

Whiny, little french c**t. Ref had a good game. Arsenal didn't.

JWP was average - not to mention he should have closed down the cross for the equaliser.

Nothing arguable about it. He is our best CM.

Strange game. Would have taken that at the start but we should have been out of sight, despite soaking up alot of pressure. Lemina's absence a mystery.

Giroud always gets the better of Yoshida.

ffs - should be over.

On a hiding to nothing with that lineup - he'll be back in the firing line if we lose today. Of course, he'll be hailed a genius if we win the game...

Yep or Stephens.

Long tends to do well against Arsenal - the goals they conceded last week against United were again evidence that their CBs don't like being put under pressure or pace.

The Lemina decision is very poor, if he's not got a knock.

Why three at the back? Who's playing right wingback? JWP?

We have a much stronger defense than them.

Leicester win 3-2.

#triggered Newcastle 1 Leicester 1

Getting tight at the bottom

1-1 palace bournemouth

Defoe loves playing against palace 1-0.

Yep - full sovereignty, including control over borders with existing levels of access to the single market. Can't wait.

Its a ticking time bomb. No doubt, the Brexiteers will claim that a system of electronic tracking and tracing of goods is sufficient to prevent a hard border; but that seems another fantasy and ultimately the EU will have a veto in deciding whether such solutions are adequate. As a matter of logic, a frictionless border between NI and RoI -as it exists today- can only be secured within the customs union and single market and must apply to all sectors, not just sectors such as agriculture which are at the heart of NI trade with RoI. After all, with a sector-specific deal, you'll still need border checks to assess whether or not the transported good falls under the covered sector. Anything less, however efficient, will mean the return of some form of border - thus Norway which is in the EEA and has harmonised regulation does not have frictionless trade with Sweden since it is not in the customs union, meaning that rules of origin compliance need to be checked; Switzerland is in a similar boat with its borders. Note both Norway and Switzerland are in the Schengen area of passport-free travel. While some compromises may emerge, its hard to see EU and especially RoI accepting a solution that strays too far beyond current arrangements given the sensitivity of the issue. And whatever applies to NI will be imposed on the rest of the UK per today's report. This issue will come back to haunt negotiations. Its the long grass for now.

Jihadists boo hoo

Hello Les - did you have your Shredded Wheat today?

Where's the contradiction? Relative to its size, the UK exports much more to the EU than the US exports to the EU -evidence that geography matters. By sh1tloads, I meant German exports to China/India relative to UK exports to China/India -evidence Germany produces stuff that others want, though its also a reflection of sector/industry mix.

Not a chance, though he's quite a puritan. He has always hated tech stocks -and only invested in Apple in 2016. His only other tech holding is IBM, IIRC.
