    I'm sure Rangers has their own binman rolodex.

    They're only doing it for the massive pay out Chelsea will give them in 3 months time.

    Luton Town FC a fascinating watch. Absolutely zero talent or anything else really but there they are, 4 points on the board.

    Did the fact that he can't save shots come up at all when 'recruitment' was assessing how well Onana can apparently pass? Not even three months in and he's looking like the worst signing of my lifetime.

    They just sign all Ten Hag's old players from Ajax don't they? Not sure any thought goes into it.

    Even more amusingly, I am sure someone was saying a few weeks back the whole 'strength' that is Onana's passing had been nullified by opposing teams by just sitting off and letting United have the ball in that area.

    The ghost of Cathy Ferguson with two late goals, classic United. We need the old man in a box before teams will start truly believing they can hang on to a result at OT.

    Another example of team reverting from doing the thing that was working, to just sticking 10 behind the ball to see it out and it bites them.

    My Bournemouth supporting mate reckons Iraola is on the brink of the bullet. Add in us exposing the Kompany myth and it should be a fabulous month ahead for Steve Bruce and kick 'n' rush football.

    The referee pulled back the game in that Chelsea game after Burnley kicked off so clearly they can look at VAR after a restart. Sterling was clearly onside and they still looked at it for two minutes, kicked off and then paused the game again just to award it. Took over 2 minutes to figure out if the foul for penalty was in the box too.

    Bournemouth have enough about them really for someone to keep them up.

    Sheffield look like competition winners at this point and Luton/Burnley don't look too much better. Goodison seethe should see Everton pick up enough points to be better than those three, so the only other real question mark is Wolves.

    They do seem to have a bit of a worrying tendency to 'be the better team' and get absolutely pumped. What are they going to be like when they play badly?

    If anyone wants the pleasure of being a little sick before they eat, type ‘Chris Basham’ into Twitter. The still photo of his ankle looks fake it’s that bad.

    I never had any opinions on Vincent Kompany as a player, revolting swede aside, but seeing him cutting about in his blazer and teacher trainers makes me want them to tank.

    I genuinely think Mctominay could play the same role Xhaka was before he left Arsenal, same career trajectory too. Bin Bag doesn't fancy him but someone could snap him up cheap in January.

    How many points were Bournemouth expecting from that opening run of fixtures? Three is obviously not great but seems a bit lol if they sack him.

    My mate's take is that Gary O'Neil was a good fit but the owner/DoF had a fixation on appointing Bielsa, failed, and had to appoint one of his acolytes instead, to scratch the itch. Fixture list has been impossible though.

    He's clearly not a 6, so it's strange that Klopp keeps insisting on playing him there.

    Can we stop using numbers to describe positions? Number 6 is traditionally a centre half anyway.
