    No matter what you keep telling yourself, 5'6 is not the average height.

    That Ronaldo header might be the best I've ever seen. I mean, it's beyond football and I don't think anyone else who has ever played the game could have scored it.

    I'd be testing the fuck out of him mind.

    Off to watch the Chris Wilder Total Northern Football Revolution today. Hopefully Brighton give them a good shoeing.

    Macclesfield docked 6pts in the week (with a further 4 suspended), and their game called off today on short notice. Not looking good.

    I would appear both Ancelotti and Arteta have their work cut out for them. Dreadful half.

    Who’s the best out of Arsenal’s crop of 20 year old midfielders? We’ve got Emile Smith Rowe, Joe Willock, Reiss Nelson and Ainsley. Surely at least one of them will turn out good

    I think the closest any came to scoring was when it ping pong'ed in the box and an Arsenal defender almost put it in. I've seen both their last two games and although they were slightly better in the second half, they've been pretty useless in box. Static, seemingly disinterested and lacking in any attack whatsoever.

    The beardo number 22 for Norwich is a fair hefter for a professional soccer player.

    I thought Villa would be a banker today. Overrated pile of dross. This perception that they have enough to stay up is changing by the week. I half expected Sheffield United to have dropped by now too and given how Brighton were against Palace I thought they'd have enough but nope.

    I'm going to start backing the team I think will lose to win instead. This last couple of weeks has seen nothing but last minute goals or the unlikelier team taking the points.

    Well he's just moved onto 21 for the season. Hopefully joining on a perm in Jan (after which, sod's law, he won't score again).

    Almiron finally did it. Chuffed.

    Watford, Norwich and Villa might be nailed on for the bottom three.

    I'm actually happy for Newcastle given the circumstances. I'd have preferred it to be 2-1 with Zaha getting on the scoresheet but so far so good as far as FF goes. Jimenez and Grealish scoring, Sheff United and Burnley clean sheets. I just want Jesus and Sterling to run riot against Leicester now.

    Dundee United won 4-0 despite not being great. Looks like they're finally getting out of this league.

    I'm on the club final between Liverpool and Flamengo and the latter are, shall we say, receiving some favourable refereeing decisions.

    Flamengo's absolute refusal to cross the ball is annoying me. Every single corner has been taken short (and lost, because their mandatory number tens are so slow) and they utterly refuse to do it from open play either. Must be scared of Virgil van Dijk.

    I'll tell you what... that'd would have been a pen for Liverpool in the Prem. Defender pulls down Henderson, but ref gives it the other way.

    In contrast, I fucking love Liverpool's use of big hoofs and cross-field balls. They really have the eye for that.

    Referee doesn't have a clue, he's just guessing every decision. Very poor match as a result.

    Yeah, as with most (all?) international competitions these things are blighted by the absolute shitheads they get to ref them.

    Ref is making a mockery of the game. Doesn't want any physical contact.

    I'd like to see a bit more of a foot on the ball in the 2nd half. Not had much chance to get the fullbacks up.

    Virgil van Dijk actually liberated Belsen, and was also a first responder at Chernobyl.

    Brighton were bobbins today, although that was largely down to Sheffield United being so good and not allowing them to play.

    Webster had a proper 2/10 game, and a few others weren't much better. Credit to Potter for giving it a go, but I don't get what Glenn Murray really does anymore (they'd have been better served having Duffy on as a target man) and going zero wide-men from 55 mins on (3 centre-halves, 4 centre-mids, 3 centre-forwards) was a curious strategy.

    Where did Connolly play after half time? He’d be a complete waste of space if not played wide.

    No one had any real positions. He was playing off Murray, I think, with Maupay doing the same, so maybe out wide in a 4-3-3 but really it was just playground stuff. Dan Burn was left wing for the most part, Propper seemed to be rightback, Mooy was playing wherever he fancied. It was a bit mad really. Connolly did much more than Trossard and probably had the brightest moments for Brighton.

    Got 10 in 10 for us in the qualifiers, so fatbot not I’ll take him as he is. In all seriousness though this is the first I’ve heard anyone saying he’s put on too much. He’s supposed to be in the best shape he’s ever been.

    Probably was outside, but the freeze frame needed forwarding a bit, it kept stopping before the actual contact. Hey ho.
