    Pep celebrating after KDB dives and Haaland scores. What a grim grim summation of the times we live in.

    How many penalties have City had this season? Feels like they get one most games.

    Leeds making hard work of it but you have to love a comeback I suppose. The big takeaway from the last couple of games is that we need to lean very heavily (even more so) into the young players. They are the ones making it happen in the oppositions half. Gnonto is particular looks great.

    I can't say I've watched every game of them or anything, but it sort of surprises me that he's still at Leicester. Might be that he scores impressive goals here and there and that's my lasting impression of him.

    I found the MotD analysis of the penalties to be quite confusing. I thought all 4 incidents in the Forest game were penalties on the modern interpretation. Don't see any of them being 'overturned' if given by the ref, which just brings you back to big teams getting the decisions if you are going to set some sort of discretionary bar for levels of contact. When Veltman went through Toney a few weeks back there was nowhere near the level of contact necessary to bring about Toney's reaction, but it was a pen, I don't see that's really all that different to the Dennis one yesterday. Same for the Henderson one, he catches him on the shin, the contact may be slight but, as stated, more than enough to fell a fully grown Harry Kane.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/63461228 I work in Chippenham and I know a lot of kids were going to watch this match, so imagine they'll be buzzing on Monday morning. Great goal to win it too.

    There should be more rhyming slang in the mass media. Keep Americans, northerners and celts OUT of the discourse.

    Chelsea-Arsenal at noon, I assume Drogba will power us to a 2-1 win.

    I think Aubameyang will score and gesture at Arteta before Azpilicueta gets roasted into the stone age by Martinelli.

    Just seen the lineup on screen and seen Jorginho in a two up against Partey in a three. Fitting really on the day we remember young men senselessly slaughtered by the brutality of modern industrial warfare.

    The whole structure of the line up is proper disgusting. I know there are injuries but fuck me. Absolutely wide open without even being able to function going forward to compensate.

    Arteta is such a cretin. Someone needs to knock the creepy fucker off.

    Referee fancy blowing his whistle anymore. What a turgid mess so far

    Martinelli kicked him if anything.

    I think one of the most annoying things I do is stress the third syllable of Aubameyang, rather than the second as is common practice. I don't think it's even correct, I've just got into the habit.

    This sort of game provides a great opportunity for self-reflection.

    Deserved goal. The gulf in class is crazy.

    Just another example of Reece James being the most influential player in the world. Two seasons running they’ve went to shit when he gets injured.

    I think it's more that Chelsea are just shit quite a lot of the time.

    Still easily got a 2-1 burglary in this though.

    They are, they don’t have a midfield or attack even after spending millions. Tuchel should never be in charge of rebuilding a team.

    Newcastle away next week as well, so there’s another loss.
