    It isn't awful but it doesn't look remotely like a football shirt does it?

    Kyoto will end up with a goal a game surely and great news for the Ockeroos about Rogic's return to form.

    I find myself weirdly rooting for them now (which is very much against the natural order of things), much in the same way I rooted, to no avail, for Bob Bradley at Swansea. Football needs these things.

    I hope he stays for at least 5 years before he moves on to something else.

    Im getting wonderful flashbacks of his 36 game unbeaten streak with Brisbane.

    I thought he was about 22 at most, that Kyoto geezer. He does look a bit good, and Celtic also have started to click under him and look a lot more intimidating than Rangers. I’m Not sure how their defence will hold up though.

    That new right back sounds like a bit of bargin.

    Ange doing all his own scouting is cool I reckon there will more money ball signings from him especially from Asia.

    On Kyogo, it's very rare these days that a player that nobody has ever heard of arrives and as instant a hit as he has been. I was at Celtic Park last night and there's Japanese flags and scarves with his face on everywhere.

    2-0 was pretty flattering last night, it's a miracle they didn't concede, but I suppose it's the first time they've played a half decent side. For a season that was assumed to be a dead loss, Ange has done a hell of a job.

    Even Joe Hart appears to be working out so far, though he clearly absolutely shits it whenever there's an opposing player within 10 yards of him when he has the ball at his feet.

    Wasn't the narrative that Celtic were hopeless and Rangers were walkig the league about a fortnight ago? Strangely quick reversal.

    Full stadium live football today, for the first time in 18 months. I can already hear the groans.

    Do you reckon we’ve got the groaniest ground in the league? I’m not sure why the Amex has often been so impatient. Don’t remember us being like that at Withdean.

    I haven't been to another league ground for nigh on 20 years I don't think, so not sure I'm best placed to comment. Anfield always used to be quite groany, but that's because expectations were out of whack with on pitch reality. That's probably changed since Herr Klopp's been there.

    The Amex certainly is quite groany and seems to have become more so in the premier league. I think it's just a feature of how well the team tends to do, so less groaning when team winning, which happened more in the championship. There is a crushing inevitability to the way Brighton have played in the premier league, they've just never scored enough goals for the crowd not to be in constant fear of going behind and thus probably losing. Maybe last weeks extremely surprising come from behind win is the start of a new era.

    I think Reg is the only one that lives in the region.

    I'm only here intermittently visiting [the wife's] family. If James is the third one doesn't he live in Scotland? Although I guess we are all here at the moment . . .

    Villa Park was really groany, but then we had a dose of reality with three years in the Championship. Goodison Park is still bad for it.

    I saw Ben White got the dreaded 'FEC' write-up on the beeb the other day.

    Do Arsenal tend to play with 2 or 3 at the back? Can't help but think he's going to get rather exposed in a 2 by anyone with more physicality than a sapling.

    2 at the back last week but I presume they’ll switch to 3 and bring Holding in to try deal with Lukaku

    Is konate likely to start at all this season.

    I went a bit left field in my fantasy draft and grabbed him assuming he would anchor the back line with van dijk, but klopp seems intent on playing matip..

    Matip and VvD are expected first choice until Matip inevitably gets injured, IMO.

    Aye.

    Where are they drawing these fat lines from nowadays? Is it back to the shoulder/armpit and not the elbow?

    That Tarkowski one was interesting just before half time. Clearly leads with his arm into the 'keeper, but less of a foul than the one he got away with last week.
