Vitinha 2 Spurs 2

No United tonight, plenty of games to choose from, but which one? I’ll give PSG v Spurs a go unless new comes through from Anfield of calamity for Arne Slot So knowing my record it’ll be a borefest in Paris

"We are freezing known Russian assets" says Rachel Reeves "But let me be clear, I don't actually mean the member for Clacton"

Spend 40 minutes getting through to a human after my Sky Box packs in. Finally achieve my goal and order a new box Decide to give it one more go and it fu#king works! Good job I’m no longer a useful member of society

City all over Newcastle and yet they could be 3-0 down For all their talents there’s a frailty about them if you attack them I liken it to the seemingly impregnable Death Star

KIT CLASH ALERT I know it’s petty but Newcastle’s keeper (Pope) and the Match Officials are wearing the same colour shirt Something that’s wholly avoidable

@tntsports have had a bad week, losing European football, their coverage of the cricket far from the standard subscribers have the right to expect They’d probably have been better just taking the Australian feed

Embarrassing scenes from Perth, complete capitulation Under cooked and over confident is not a winning combination

This Brentford v Newcastle game is a poor watch I know we’re a long way from sizzling but there’s a lot of bang average sides in the Premier League at the moment

Clearly a work in progress, we sit two points off second place and yet the keyboard warriors continue with their agenda. Rome wasn’t built in a day

First task of the day Internet engineer The booster in the bedroom isn’t working I’m informed I go and have a look and find it’s not plugged in, probably because last week’s visitors charged their phone Anyway an early success Jack of all trades master of none That’s me that is

After a trip to Murrayfield I’m just catching up on United’s game Somewhat fearful that two goals conceded were a reflection on our new keeper They weren’t & his saves kept us in the game A massive upgrade on what we’ve endured We’re improving but not there yet.

And now it’s two

Well that had been coming, Celtic very much second best

Chelsea making heavy weather of this

As each day passes I’m more inclined to give this Circus a miss

The West Ham fans picked a good match to boycott Dreadful game

Casemiro 33yrs old, past it Van Dijk 34yrs old, give him a new contract

Just watching Lammens as Gakpo’s first half effort hits the post Maybe I’m reading too much into it but he withdraws his hand and looks back I was always told the very best keepers know where their posts are Encouraging early signs that we might have signed a good one Certainly an upgrade

Forest giving a go here, but if they don’t take their chances as they tire Chelsea will do them

In all seriousness shouldn’t the Police be investigating the former Duke of York? Non consensual sex is generally known as rape The defence that he didn’t know is undermined by the emails he exchanged to Epstein The days when the aristocracy took Young maidens as they pleased are surely over

Some largely good natured fun.

Give it to Harry till the end of the season www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cv...

As this ceasefire commences it’d be wise to reflect that they’ll be an eight year old Palestinian who’s seen his family killed by the IDF that’ll grow up to be a man seeking revenge and they’ll be a young Israeli who’s lost loved ones at the hands of Hamas who’ll feel the same This is far from over

A country where a bungalow is a wise investment

Dalot doesn’t work a LWB our midfield looks a bit flakey and two players recruited because they know the ‘system’ find themselves on the bench alongside the best midfielder our academy has produced in decades Other than that, absolutely fine

We’re at the if you want rid of me you’re going to have to sack me stage of the negotiation Unwilling to change the system but seemingly quite prepared to U turn on his I’ll walk away if I’m not delivering pledge A case of when not if, I suggest we need to get this done quickly

I confess I watched him last night and thought he was a more complete midfielder than Ugarte who cost double the price

We don’t want Southgate (I’m not keen) because he failed at Middlesbrough But we’ll give it to Carrick (albeit temporarily) who’s just failed at Middlesbro’ If we go down the interim route then our first choice should be Ancelotti who has time on his hands before the World Cup

This time last week the ‘pundits’ had all but declared Liverpool Champions As the season progresses Virgil’s 34 year old legs will tire and their lack of cover in that department will be exposed Still fancy Pep’s men to do them A case of premature celebration

With minutes to go Howe takes off one of his taller players, Joelinton and replaces him with Barnes They subsequently concede from a corner

Give it Mrs Doyle until the end of the season A cup of tea for everyone at Half Time

A Manager’s job is to get the players to perform and carry out their tactical plan You can be the most brilliant tactician , place your counters on your magnetic board in ways that reflect your genius. But if you can’t communicate to and inspire your players you have nothing

Liverpool undone by a late goal. Karma eh Stick with my prediction that our noisy neighbours are the favourites As the season progresses Liverpool’s lack of cover at Centre Back will do for them

A message to Amorim To repeat the same thing over and over again in the hope of getting different results is the definition of INSANITY Adapt or depart We’ve suffered enough

Really want to give Amorim time, he’s clearly a talented coach, but so is Graham Potter He’s had all week to prepare for this, at some point if he can’t produce some modicum of consistency his position has to become untenable

Where’s Compo and Clegg? Corbyn is a good man, but I’m afraid he’s not the future

Team USA missed an opportunity of a guaranteed five points in the #RyderCup If they’d chosen Mar-A-Lago as the venue and given a Wildcard to their unbeaten Club Champion they wouldn’t be trailing Europe after Day One

Watching the Ryder Cup, if you could mute the crowd via the red button it would greatly enhance the experience Anyone shouting “IN THE HOLE!!!” At a Par Five should immediately be ejected

Proposed Rule Change Managers are attached to a bungee rope that is anchored to the back of their technical area Should they venture too far out they’ll returned with alacrity On Sunday Arteta was nearer the corner flag at one point than his bench

No doubt they’ll turn in to Brazil next week, but Brentford are every bit as appalling as their strip

Phew Match of the Day added to my planner, but I’m not sufficiently confident to add a Series Link just yet

I have trust issues with this team

We’re letting Chelsea back into a game that we should have put to bed

We’re looking after my Grandson’s dog for a couple of days After assessing the situation for a day the resident cat decides it’s time to establish his dominance by occupying it’s bed

We’re not far off people falling from upstairs windows stage #Kimmel

Penalty every day of the week Chelsea who started well find themselves 2-0 down

Watching Qarabag play some attractive progressive football as they humble Benfica Which begs the question if they can do this with their limited resources, why can’t we with all our resources come anywhere near doing the same?

Anyone with a season ticket for Juventus is getting plenty of bang for their Euro at the moment Two remarkable games in a matter of days
