Watched most of Lazio defeating Dortmund 3-1. Didn't hear his name mentioned once, but Lucas was top notch. Always in great position defensively, not a single silly foul in a dangerous spot, and constantly moving the ball forward accurately and effectively. Very impressive.

"Wonder if Spurs have ever scored seven twice in a week." Peter Drury, matter-of-factly.

Ole pining for the fjords.

A pylon.

Martial law. Hilarious.

Should be out of sight. But even if United get two or three more penalties and the three points, they're still unbelievably shite.

Because no one would notice him (Pogba) otherwise?

Smart by Kane, stupid by Maguire.

But can he dive convincingly?

"I've converted one of my CBs to a LB, so I need another CB."

Is there a worse player 1 vs 1 (or even 1 vs 0) in the Prem than Sterling? He should have three, at least.

Leeds are great to watch.

Pickerson? Ederford?

Give away a stupid free kick and pay the price.

Pickford warming up for the derby, I see.

Someone should tell Palace's keeper he's allowed to use his hands.

I didn't hear what Klopp said to Keane about "sloppy" but he was absolutely correct. That was a magnificent performance. The pace, the relentless pressing, the passing, etc. But the thing I like as much as anything is how few free kicks they give away. If they're not on the right side of the opponent--and they usually are--they're harrying them, relentlessly, in packs, and all without putting a foot wrong. (Aubemeyang at the end there, gets the ball in a good position, but before he can decide what he's going to do there're 3 players there, surrounding him, forcing him to make a mistake. 92nd minute.) Not to say they don't foul, but they rarely foul where they shouldn't. It's a discipline that not many teams have, and no teams that play at the pace at which they play.

Roma up 2-1 vs 10-man Juve after 65 minutes. But they keep wasting clear open chances, and I fear they'll pay for it.

WHam x 2. They don't seem to be missing Moyes much.

WHam with a very nice finish.

Priceless.

City redeeming what's been a somewhat disappointing other-football week-end.

Vardy's knackered.

Vardy sliding into position to earn the pen. Crafty bugger.
