    Real Madrid getting shoed by Eibar. Does it turn out that Lopetegui probably wasn't the problem, and not having Ronaldo is?

    I don't think I've watched this this season. Do they just crab it around and then periodically bounce it off Karim Benzema's shins?

    This feels like the phase of the season where City are going to canter off into the middle distance.

    Is there anything worse than Liverpool winning? I guess Willian conning every manager into thinking he’s good is one.

    Chelsea really could do with a decent centre half alongside Rudiger.

    They’ve been due a thumping for a while. Kante needs put in the middle ASAP.

    Chelsea look vulnerable to pretty much any cross coming from out wide.

    That’s great from Son but Chelsea are a mess. The midfield is pointless. Whole system on a Wembley pitch is pointless.

    How is Jorginho still on the pitch

    That dive at the ball from Luiz for Son's goal was something I'd do at five a side.

    I know we say that Serie A football is slow but I just watched Son run past Korginho at jogging pace.

    It's even worse than I remembered. Son gives him half a yard and the momentum advantage by cutting back and then going for it and ends up 2 yards ahead of him from the outside.




    Son takes 5-7 steps between those two images and gains 2-3 yards FROM THE OUTSIDE.

    Imagine the riot there's going to be when they abandon the Libertadores final and award Boca a 3-0 default win.



    La Bombonera and El Monumental have to be two of the best stadium names going.

    Yeah, probably. Although 'Miguel Delaney' off the Independent reckons there might be more to it yet.

    That's the Boca bus and River fans surrounding it. It looks like the opening scene of a zombie film.

    There could be alright. Sounds like 'Marcelo Gallardo' is offering to call it off now.

    I was wondering whether that was the Gallardo who was the next Maradona at some point. Sounds a right farce. You can only imagine the amount of injury feigning the Boca lot will be no doubt up to. Would put whiplash claimants to shame.

    How do you play it behind closed doors on Wednesday? Won't the River fans burn the city down before then?

    He scored some goals for me on an old CM.

    Delaney and Ewan McKenna both reporting that it's going ahead. In 90 minutes time according to the latter.

    Boca are going to refuse to play and they're going to give them a 3-0 loss resulting in a civil war.

    If Jorginho plays another game in the middle there needs to be a Chilcot-style inquiry. Kanté is the best midfield player in the league/world and needs treating as such. David Luiz also needs to be replaced by Christensen.

    That said, we shouldn't confuse ourselves with title contenders due to a decent start. 3rd/4th would be excellent.

    Where else is Jorginho going to play though? He can't really be mooching around in one of the more mobile midfield positions, so it's change system, or face the fact that against physical teams it's going to be a problem.

    On the few vids I've seen that bus really is shifting considering the crowd it seems to be going through.

    I was going to say that, between 'Miguel Delaney' and that flub, the Independent has the worst sports writers of all the papers, but then I remembered lol it isn't a newspaper.

    Jonathan Liew is on 90% of occasions the best sports writer in the country. Occasionally goes in a bit too deep, but I don't mind that.

    Jonathan Liew is very good but he's going to end up being an absolute parody of himself by the time he's anywhere near Henry Winters age.

    For his next move, which should be asap really, he either has to go full gonzo and start doing ridiculous long features after 6 month embedding periods, or he has to rein himself in and focus on one sport.
