    Quite enjoyable read, if mainly for Scott Murray's absolutely terrible answers.

    Puncheon is such a beast. One of my favourite underrated players.

    I thought him going with Van Dijk as best player or Allardyce as best manager was mental but then I saw him say that Michael Owen (or Sutton) was the best pundit. The guy needs to be put in a fucking loony bin.

    I thing TV catch-up just links to each channels own players these days anyway. I used to use it when I lived in the UK and it was great when it was standalone.

    I'll stick the recording on the tablet and watch it on the road tomorrow.

    I know it's fun to laugh at Spurs and all but all the shit that streams out of the marble halls (particularly from feckless former, and current, players) about "St Totteringham's Day" really is ridiculously small time. Even Wenger was at it a bit yesterday. I suppose the silver lining is that with Giroud back in form and their best league finish for 10 years there's no real need to change anything.

    @niko_cee there's a time for reflecting on what celebrating the failures of your rivals, bur not yesterday. Not today. Not this week.

    That Shez is a total goon who nobody wants back between the sticks doesn't diminish the brilliance of his 'it's happened again' post, nor does Podolski having been a bit shit. I think I'd even have approved of RvP getting involved. Byegones.

    It's Danny Dyer

    St. Totteringhams Day is an institution though. I think I can only remember two where it didn't occur.

    I see Garth has gone with Coutinho over Alli in his team of the season.

    Both are highlight reel type of players who don't do a massive amount outside the moments of brilliance yet. Toss up really.

    Until he started praising Martial and Benteke I was fairly convinced that Magic had been hiding a journalistic career from us.

    Arsenal will be fine, some astute summer business (a lightweight midfielder or two and a shit centre half that you never hear from again) and they'll be ready to challenge again next year.

    Spurs mounted a better title challenge despite never being in first place, never being closer than 5 points to Lecieseter or managing to ya know, beat them.

    Yeah, much better to be out of the race earlier and only overtake them when it didn't matter anymore.

    In a year where Leicester won the league Arsenal are a team that should have won it, Spurs aren't. Still though, that finish from Spurs was a complete shambles and they were never in any title race.

    There was no title race. Everyone fucked it. They won it with two games to go, ten points clear ffs.

    I saw that when I was reading the article before, and wondered who he even was. It doesn't help that his first two answers are just so obviously terrible.

    He's probably Scottish correspondent or something based on the classic 'somehow about Scotland' answer to player of the year.

    The Wes Morgan answer made me lol too. 'Career journeyman' who was at Nottingham Forest for ten years. Jamie Jackson writes most of the facile toss The Metro puts out I'm sure.

    That he is. A very positive one too. Deluded I'd say.

    Wonder how Tottenham would have gotten on with Eriksen, Dier and Lamela all out for long periods?

    Fucking amazing we got top 4 really with Gabriel featuring in double digits. Absolute charlatan of a footballer.

    And Skrtel too. Him missing is like having two extra players.

    Brighton are comfortably the better of these sides, which will make their 100% certain defeat even harder to take.

    This is reminiscent of that Barcelona - Arsenal match a few years back where it was all Barca for the first 20 minutes. What a start.

    They should have turned this tie around already. Interesting that two players stretchered off three days ago have started: what a pair of tarts.
