    Not that I really understand that deal as described, but aren't Ajax like bottom of the league in Holland anyway?

    And as if to scotch any idea that the Saudis are in anyway shrewd operators:

    Gerrard, however - who is reported to be one of the best-paid managers in the world on a salary of about £15m a year - is set to confirm he will now stay in Saudi Arabia until 2027.

    Nah Ajax are unbeaten since they potted the manager in October. Interim bloke going great guns, although every game is like 4-3, 3-2.

    Turns out slating your squad isn't the way to manage things. Ask Troy Deeney.

    He's got a bit of a reputation as an ego arsehole. 6 games. 29 days. Less than Liz Truss... (+ a 4 match touchline ban)

    Was disappointed to learn that Forest Green aren't from the Forest Green in Surrey but are some way out west bumpkin folk.

    Quite funny that there were a number of puff pieces put out across the media about No Nonsense Deeney this week.

    Duncan Ferguson appointed then sacked after 18 games. Caretaker manager was a lady named Hannah. Then in came David Horseman (of the apocalypse) who lasted 27 games, now Troy Deeney in and out after six.

    Who's next? Must be a close run-off between Jan Koller and the Greek god Poseidon.

    Is Ivan Toney alright?

    Or is he just a massive belter? You’d think he’s been the victim of racial abuse or something

    He's definitely been sniffing his own farts. If he doesn't hit the ground running he will look a right mug. But he will still get a big summer move so I guess it's why a lot of footballers jump the shark with their egos when they get to a certain level, there's no downside to it.

    These guys have spent their entire lives being fellated by everyone they meet, especially in this era. It's no surprise they think they are right about everything and deserve the money.

    The Hendo hype is mad. Johan must be spinning like a fucking cornered Tory to see what's become of his club, hyping a gammon so against his principles.

    Southend game has been postponed again today and I'm not sure if they're trolling the ref for postponing it or trolling the Altrincham team that came down yesterday, but I'm enjoying it.

    Even more mental when the majority of our corners the last 6 matches have hit the first man.

    I do wonder whether Toney's lack of mobility, and therefore ability to press, might not hold him back at the very top. Chelsea could do worse though, it's not like they play with any urgency anyway. Perhaps you could say the same about Arsenal.

    Chelsea win the ball back in the final third more than any other team. Toney is good enough at pressing either way.

    Spanish midfielders are quite good at this management shenanigans

    Totally unworkable proposals though: final day drama hinging on a single result? Just send an undercover fan to your rival's game and lob a banana on the pitch.

    Latest goal in PL history and then it should have been beaten a minute later.

    West Ham right to be seething with that.

    Should be alright. Once Solanke gets his goal(s) we should start to play.

    Key players Elliott and Nunez. Get those two playing well and the attack should cover the defence.
