    Be exciting to see how somehow neither team win.

    Everton confirmed under-18s head coach Leighton Baines and club captain Seamus Coleman will take charge of the team for that game.

    A city should only be allowed one team in the league if its population is under, say, 7.5 million people.

    They're going to fall into the trap of a man with a fancier foreign name.

    Mourinho apparently not in consideration because he burned his bridges with these owners at Roma.

    Spurs are such a curious side. You could tell me that any score line had happened in any game they were involved in and it would be believable.

    Moyes in at the People's Club by the looks of it. Suppose at least that means their chances of winning either of this seasons derbies are greatly reduced.

    What's the deal with this Villa kit? Have they had to play in jumpers or something?

    Don't tell me it's some sort of NFL-style 'throwback' wank.

    Some 16 year old getting a game ahead of Chiesa. What a signing that lad was. Would have been better setting fire to the money.

    Isak's getting rested for tomorrow's game which hopefully means a rare start for William Osula tomorrow. Meanwhile Bromley have Marcus Dinanga (28 goals in 61 appearances for Gateshead) on their books. That's one thing that bothers me about following non-league sides. Holding onto talent is impossible.

    You'd just need to look at this place all day. As little as anyone gives a shit about soccer now, the FA cup is completely dead until at least the last 4.

    No magic of the cup with Jose Arcadio Guardiola.

    Although 3rd round day is still one of the best football days, even if they have gutted the 3pms somewhat.

    I think this is the way with any non-Champions league tournament now.

    Fans want the trophies, but the owners want that PL position prize money.

    My question is not why fans aren't interested in the cup, it's why they ARE interested in the league. For the majority who aren't winning it or going down, anyway.

    I think it’s been partly screwed over by all the big teams being at home against the smaller teams. Just means there is a minuscule chance of a shock.

    What did you think of Chiesa when he came on?

    Clearly looks like he lacking match fitness imo. Which is pretty obvious considering his season so far.

    Apparently he had the same flu as Szoboszlai at the start of the week. Slot says he would have started otherwise.

    I'd like to see more of Danns up against stronger opposition.

    I think it felt very stark for Nunez that he would never have scored that finish. He just doesn’t have the composure.

    I think we can safely say there's no need to give Mo that new contract after that showing today.

    Nunez just needs to be less obsessed with scoring.

    I think the Christmas period has seen this ship sail.

    I made a joke a while back about people in February being the next to see him score a goal and we're getting there now.

    With situations like that, I'm surprised more teams don't try the Joelinton approach. All those one-on-ones preying on your mind? You can pass and ... attempt tackles further back.

    Sounds like that Kvaradona guy is going to be off to PSG. Shame as it would have been good to see him in the Premier League rather than have him disappear forever into the Bois de Boulogne.

    City have also casually spunked €40m on some defender from Lens.

    40 million euros will go a long way in Lens. Ideally on a second peripherique so I never have to go anywhere near it again.

    Is Lens the one where the stadium has a bigger capacity than the population of the town? Or is that 1998 knowledge?

    It is indeed, and still true according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. It's an old industrial town, think Burnley/Blackburn.

    I lived with a Frenchman from Lens in my first year at Uni. He was the most racist person I've ever met. Think Harold on steroids. One of my other flatmates brought her Asian friend round to do some coursework and he immediately walked out of the communal room with his dinner talking loudly in French.

    His dinner consisted of tinned Heinz Ravioli and hotdogs every single night. His blood must have been about 79% salt.
