Just turned ours on to watch the Spurs game and it's gone.

It doesn't but it means something. Because they have been rare the past 30 years.

If close isn't a measure of success then we might as well not count anything Klopp did until the Spurs game. The fact is, Benitez and Klopp like the others, won and challenged for the biggest trophies in football. Houllier didn't bar a brief title challenge.

Benitez won a European Cup, nearly won another one and went closer than Houllier did in the league. There is a big difference between what they both did.

As good as he was for two seasons he isn't in the same league as the others on it because of the reasons outlined above.

Getting a mention in a match report now, am I famous?

The letting offside play out so VAR can sort it out isnt a thing in the Premier League Dave. It's only a CL thing. So for that Aubamayang chance the linesman just didn't think he was off.

What a fucking sport.

Yeah it's the tourist thing as I have noticed a lot of Chinese tourists now wearing their gear around the city, but the whole league is starting to go a bit money mad. Most season tickets don't include the games against the big two and haven't for years.

25 quid for a ticket in Spain is a rare thing. I was in Barcelona at the weekend and it was 40 to see Espanyol. Nowhere near worth it.

He played three times after Christmas.

If you want to see clear evidence why we've overtaken and lapped Arsenal several times over the past couple of years, they're trying to sign David Luiz off Chelsea after searching all around Europe for a centre back.

This is key. Someone who was seen as a potential backup to the front three went to Arsenal for 90m. From France. The market is so skewed it's getting harder to find value in the way we do business.

We played well but last night wasn't an indication of how the season is gong to go and neither was the previous 4 games. Can't see many of the kids getting any time apart from a handful. We'll still be our usual selves though, of that much I'm certain.

It would take a total collapse for us to end up 4th or 5th considering how bad the teams behind us are. United, Arsenal and Chelsea haven't improved by that much. Two of them are managed by absolute novices.
