Pilko

Think this'll be a great pickup on a free if it's true. Be nice to get a signing or two tied up and sorted ahead of the window.

Love the thing where he's suggested he's been sidelined because he's "old and white". What he's failed to realise is that there are plenty "old and white" presenters and pundits still employed, all of them are just way more entertaining, insightful, intelligent, knowledgeable and happy to be there than he ever was.

"jury's out" though. Considering the time out he had for injury he's contributing nicely and you can tell Eddie is managing his minutes and getting him back up to speed in a staggered fashion. Full pre-season behind him and I think he'll post similar numbers to Gordon next season if he gets the minutes.

Cracking set of results for us tbh. Gained 2 pts and a bit more GD on all the other ones around us.

VAR done us a massive one there like.

Doddsy is a legend for me like marra.

As big a gap between his legs as he has between his ridiculous ears. Shite. Can't wait til we're shot of him. Quite right that Karius is away too if he can't force his way in front of this joker.

Weird one that. We were awful in the first half and decent in patches in the second and yet scored 5 They're absolutely chod mind you. Defence and goalkeeper a proper joke. Very good win in the end and decent results so far with Man U and West Ham only drawing. If Villa can do us a favour later and restrict Chelsea to a point or less then it's been a colossal day for us.

Can one of the fans in the Gallowgate lower please run on and spark that useless jug eared cunt between the sticks clean out, please? Replace him with a mannequin from Fenwicks window and we'll be better off.

He's right about us not shooting like, it was driving me bananas last night. Every time there was an opening our lads took another touch or hesitated and the chance was gone. It was weird.

Quite a few ex-pros get into haulage/transportation businesses, I think. Would imagine he's making some kind of provision for after he's done playing.

It's painful watching him and tonight was one of his worst showings for sure. Just got to try and remember he's been playing injured and next year we'll see a lot less of him either by way of him being sold or (more likely) a squad option. And in the latter case he'll look better for the rest and better players around him. He just needs this season to come to an end, desperately tbh.

Got Haaland as captain, but if he doesn't play I'll get an extra 8pts for Solanke as vice captain and my second sub Joachim Andersen will come in for 11pts, which would take me to about 85pts plus whatever De Bruyne can muster. Can't wait for Pep to bring him on for 8 minutes when they're already 3-0 up and passing it about the defence.

Good chance to get some confidence back, rack up a few goals and forget the misery of tonight sharpish. That said I'd take a 1-0 with a scrappy own goal and shaky performance if you offered it to me now. We just need to win it.

Liverpool getting done in the Merseyshite game is absolutely glorious, it's massively cheered me up from our shit show at Palace knowing that Klopp's farewell tour bus has lost another wheel.
