I don’t like the Champions League draw format. Football is a hobby that shouldn’t be draining my counterfactual logic. I’ll just wait until our next game and be surprised by our opponent, any of whom I’m sure we can beat.

Insane stuff at San Siro. Inter finally score the most unconvincing goal in history.

Inter have a Bodo gene

I tried to drop in a reference to Statto from Fantasy Football League in a lecture today. Fair to say that I am officially to old for pop culture references.

Isn’t that the mayor from Groundhog Day??

He’s too good for the Championship IMO

I worry that we’re all laughing at Spurs but we’re yet to find out which team is really having the better season.

Call Gabriel’s exaggeration a dive if you like. It did slightly remind me of this golden NLD moment.

Harry Kane: North London derbies: 17 Non-penalty goals: 7 Eberechi Eze: North London derbies: 2 Non-penalty goals: 5

Morning

Spurs have won 1 in 12 league games, and 2 in 18.

It’s just like playing Rio Ave

And which game do we play next week, and the week after that? Tottenham, boss.

Oh well, it's that time of the night...

Harry Kane: North London derbies: 17 Non-penalty goals: 7 Eberechi Eze: North London derbies: 2 Non-penalty goals: 5

Podcasts, highlights and Lagavulin. Good evening all.

I’m so glad we signed Eze. The guy just makes me happy, and we really, really need that.

You know, if we do need to do some rebuilding at the Emirates, and the expensive stadium down the road needs Premier League football… Just need to negotiate a temporary redecoration. We have a decent record there, and it’s easier to get to than Wembley…

Finally figured out why Dragusin seemed so familiar.

That first goal lit something behind his eyes. Not seen that expression until now.

And if a double decker bus Crashes into us Viktor Gyokeres still wouldn’t win the free kick.

Glad we really got to enjoy the two NLDs this season. God knows when we’ll get to play another.

Good start buddy 🫣

That first Gyokeres goal, even the second a little bit…

Thank you Doctor. You’ve really unlocked my Eze and Gyokeres.

DR TOTTENHAM

That’ll do 🤗

IT’S A GREAT DAY IT’S A GREAT DAY IT’S A GREAT DAY

And which game do we play next week, and the week after that? Tottenham, boss.

A second, again, you say?

It’s just like playing Rio Ave

When the track is flat, you bring out the bullies. Done.

IT’S A GREAT DAY IT’S A GREAT DAY IT’S A GREAT DAY

How are our nerves? I’m still not there. Time, please go a bit faster.

Missed some of the half. Is 7 minutes fair?!

Well, that didn’t look great.

Rice and Raya this time next season.

Eze. We need to learn that some players just have that key skill that we lack, and that their other flaws just have to be accommodated.

I’ll give Emi that save against Kolo Muani.

Mikel. THIRD GOAL. We want a THIRD GOAL.

Just find a way to accommodate Eze, because he is clutch.

Gary Neville treating that Gyokeres as somehow a blow for Arsenal.

🫣⏳

The Premier League need to be given more control over the refereeing.

So much for that…

Disgracia

Need to start this 2nd half fast, because our players are the ones who will fade first.
