Remmie

I had a boss dream the other night that Mo scored the winner and his celebration was to run to the bench and sign the contract on the field.

Maybe, but the way he chastised himself for missing the header as well reveals a determination that you don't often see with him and I think he really looks the business again, not that he's been poor at all before that, but closer to that almost perfect defender.

I'm not having there being any decision to make about when Alisson is fit and who should play. Yes, Kelleher has done a fantastic job covering him and we haven't missed him at all, however there is a difference in levels between the 2. Alisson has the presence and positioning that sets him apart from any keeper I have ever seen and I have noticed an infrequent error Kelleher makes occasionally where he directs his saves back in front of him rather than to the side (Southampton penalty and Kovacic goal for Chelsea a couple seasons back). The only argument I could understand is phasing Alisson out if we are selling him, but Kelleher seems even more likely to leave at the end of the season. Talking of presence, I also feel like Van Dijk has been back to his absolutely imperious best in the past few games, last seen pre-Pickford injury. He was so dominant it was fantastic to watch. One big glaring caveat to that, obviously. But if anything, that fuck up should keep him on his toes and guard him against complacency.

Are any of the in-laws or your Mrs like that?

Way to lose friends coming on her, slagging off all the big hitting herbs. You disgust me with your herb shaming ways. Oh the humanity.

Ed Sheeran enters. James Bay leaves. Thought of that one all by myself.

Stuart Pearce subbing on David James as an outfield player springs to mind

Happy birthday, you filthy animal.

I think all 3 have signed contracts before despite knowing they could get more elsewhere, that has to be factored in. It's a pretty easy negotiation stance from the agent, he can just say do you think Salah deserves more than Casemiro?

Glad the subject of coverage not showing the ball in play at crucial times came up, this has been doing my head in for years. It's often to show close ups of player's or manager's reaction, sometimes even the crowd. It's beyond infuriating and I cannot understand who is asking for this. Replays at least most people have some desire to see it, obviously not at the expense of seeing the ball in play, but they are often the culprit too. The screen in screen tech used to be on BT about 5 years ago, I wonder what fuckwit decided to scrap that?

This one looks like she's had a bad reaction to being stung by a bee
