    I was reduced to watching some of that earlier. What an absolute shit quality league for one that’s supposed to not be.

    That's essentially Brentford's primary avenue for stars, get the lower league BLMs in and you're set.

    Grealish has been fantastic again tonight, right up there will the best in the league. Arguably the best of the lot on current form.

    Saw the name in the match report and got excited thinking it was going to be some 17 year-old wildebeast. Just check the CV out...

    I don't want to sound bitter but it's hard when the only genuine thing separating me and a professional football career was that my mum didn't fancy a bit of BBC back in the 80s.

    What other club on that net spend list has built an entire new squad over the past four seasons? Every club that gets promoted without the Portuguese national team or Marcelo Bielsa either goes balls deep, or does a Norwich/Huddersfield.

    Balls deep?



    Balls deep into the left channel for Dwight McNeil, and no mistaking.

    Funny when you look at the only time he's ever taken them down, 2014/15, and it was a squad that featured Tom Heaton, Kieran Trippier, Danny Ings and Michael Keane. A man that I've never heard of named Jason Shackell also made 38 league starts.

    I usually get a creeping optimism around Christmas that maybe this year is the year. I had a really good feeling about it this time as well until a few days ago.

    Tammy Abraham slides us in front on a snow-covered pitch as a sluggish-starting Luton complain about there having been two balls on the pitch. If this doesn't save Lampard's job then nothing will.

    Why are they still blathering on making a big deal of a ball being on the pitch nowhere near the play for about 1.5 seconds? It’s like the ghost of John Motson is still haunting the place.

    Serbia taking a bunch of uncapped domestic players to central America for a couple of friendlies this week have got to two of the more baffling fixtures I've ever seen.

    These Luton colours are very lower league. It's why Norwich never hang around for very long and Blackpool were shit.

    If I was in a five a side match where the winner stood to win £1m and I could choose between Kepa or Lofty in net, I’d genuinely be uncertain.

    Soccerway saying Jones in place of Mane but I hope and pray this is a ploy to push Thiago further up the pitch

    Williams and Milner

    Hard to get excited about this shit competition.

    They exist, but they're few and far between. Anyone who is any good will generally stand out like a sore thumb. James Justin is the obvious example. Karlan Grant stood out too.

    I'll have a think if I've seen any this season.

    Just looking around the rest of Europe at the league tables as I haven't paid any attention all season.

    A.Madrid are 4 points clear of rest with two games in hand. They have condeded 7 league goals on 17 games.

    The two Milans are 7 points clear of Juventus who are in 4th.

    Lille are joint top with PSG after 21 games.

    Bayern are miles ahead in the bundesliga.

    Gladwin is 28 now and never played much for QPR in the Championship, so League One very much his level. I really don’t know much about the rest, but Peterborough have a similar model to Brentford without the success. Must be sitting on a nice bit of bank though.

    It's nice that he's finally running hard, but he's still a ball-watcher and he still offers not a lot going forward.

    I think Williams gets the assist there.

    Trying to go through an entire season with him and/or Phillips as the main options at centre-half, who are actually centre-halves by trade, is beyond negligent.
