    Just think, we're days away from hearing You Never Walk Alone sung by three stewards and Jurgen Klopp.

    Newcastle had another friendly. 3-2 over Boro. Joelinton, Almiron and Muto scored.

    Proper collapse.

    Portimonense having a bright yellow Mizuno kit is great fun. I had no idea Mizuno were still a going concern.

    I'm pretty sure they've got Ricardo Vaz Te up front as well. Their second goal is a lovely strike.

    I've watched bits and pieces of four Portuguese games since they came back and all four have had seven minutes plus added time. Has there been a solid push to fully enforce the thirty seconds per sub rule that nobody else bothers with, or has every game just had a big stooshie I've managed to miss?

    The golf is back on for the first time tonight (behind closed doors) and it's weird as hell. Someone can stuff it to two feet, or roll in a 30 footer for birdie and just dead silence.

    Still, Jim Nantz has managed to ruin it already by saying, of Harold Varner's good start (the only black player other than Woodsy), WHAT A STORY THIS WOULD BE.

    Looks like Bellingham has chosen the Dortmund route (as per Christian Falk). Certainly makes a decent amount of sense for him; it'll be a shame when we have to chuck 200m quid at him in 3 years, though.

    'Rosey' obviously didn't get the memo.

    On the subject of Mr Rose, I saw the other day that he and his wife were sponsoring/promoting some ladies golf events in the UK, which all seemed very laudable, but when I saw the total prize pot that he'd chipped in was something like Ł30,000 it did strike me as a bit cheap for someone who must be worth many tens of millions.

    Dele Alli has apparently been cleared of racism. Chauvin is on the line to his lawyers as we speak.

    That's a nice initiative. Especially in a round with a fixture between two sides advertising the state airlines of a country that... This is why they should stay out of this stuff.

    When Mesut Oezil criticised how China treats its Muslims, Arsenal formally distanced themselves from his opinions. They said 'Arsenal is always apolitical as an organisation', so yeah, their declared policy is that they shouldn't work towards fixing anything ever.

    They’re silent towards China because of the marketing value of that country, but are vocal about BLM because they’re not gonna lose any money because of it. It’s not a great system but speaking up about 1/2 is better than speaking up about 0/2

    It's just more culture war. The same people who will be mad in favour of having Black Lives Matter on the shirts are the ones normally whingeing about poppies on shirts in November (and vice versa).

    When they’re happy enough to strap the hotdogs around them and off themselves to take out double figures, why should anyone else care?

    Now that they are a political organisation the Emirates link is an endorsement, which is the equaliser, and they're 2-1 down if you make them complicit with their Chinese silence. They should have kept out of it.

    They are correct to say they are apolitical. They are purely commercial and act accordingly. There's no money in standing up for Uighurs but there's loads in speaking up for black America.

    None of this justifies why they "should keep out of" BLM, besides you being a snowflake

    Great start in this game.

    Hoffenheim get an early penalty which is reversed by VAR and Leipzig go down the pitch and score almost instantly.

    As a passionate supporter of the BLM, I'm uncomfortable with ties to an organisation complicit in atrocities. I think we can be better than that.

    He watches all the German games
    He basks in the Bundesliga's fame,
    He knows each crest, ground and nickname,
    Mahow, Mahow, Mahow.

    He eats Schweinhaxen for his lunch,
    He knows that Weissbier packs a punch,
    He thinks the Dutch a dirty bunch,
    Mahow, Mahow, Mahow.

    His national team, it plays in white,
    He says 'Auf Wiedersehen' each night,
    He screams 'Jawohl!' forcing out each shite,
    Mahow, Mahow, Mahow.

    He remembers Kaiser Wilhelm's reign,
    Alliances with Franco's Spain,
    Ill-fated visits to Ukraine,
    Mahow, Mahow, Mahow.

    He waltzed around the Maginot Line,
    He knows the doorman at Berghain,
    He sets his watch to Dortmund time,
    Mahow, Mahow, Mahow.

    Sycamore's his favourite baum,
    Heidelberg his favourite town,
    But Hitchin is his lebensraum,
    Mahow, Mahow, Mahow.

    I did it in 20 minutes just now when I saw the German games were on, and immediately thought of Mahow watching them, leading to the line 'He sets his watch to Dortmund time' and then the rest of it. Then I thought bollocks, I'm going to have to sit on this until he posts about German football again, refreshed the page and happily he had done so a mere 10 minutes earlier.
