£60m to put himself about?

Well it worked today. Kane and Son were well off it. When that's the case Richarlison can do a job. If Jesus is off it, Arsenal have nothing.

Tbf he’s only played about 40mins for them, bit early to judge how good he’ll be for them.

Tbf if someone gave me a 'veiled handshake' I'd stick the heid on you.

Conte would need a wee ladder to do that though.

So Jesus is better value then.

Tuchel would get absolutely folded by a Primary school child.

Scenes you absolutely love to see.

Well I suppose time will tell. Jesus is Arsenals big signing and big hope. Richarlison is a back up. Jesus is nowhere near the level of Kane and Son.

Just as well it's a team sport then!

Indeed. Should be a good season. Arsenal look great and Spurs have been decent. Hope it's a closer league than just Man City and Liverpool.

Jamie Redknapp, as I too am an 8.5/10.

This interviewer is a stirring, antagonistic arsehole. Love it.

Very sad Eni has stooped so low to try and be offended. Sounness was quite clear in what he was talking about. (How healthy does the man look, btw!)

Hopefully she's called out on that post.

Sometimes I take a moment to fully contemplate how lucky we are to live in the Barclays era and I'll openly weep.

Lot's of people calling it out but the verified accounts seem to be going for a piley on:

Someone else said it a page back, but Souness wasn’t talking about football in the broadest sense being a man’s game. He was directly referring to a directive given to referees in the English men’s top flight. The directive was to let more challenges go, and to try and cut down on diving, and getting fouls simply by ‘anticiptating the contact’. Stuff like that. The referee in the game Souness (and the rest of us) were watching, did indeed allow some challenges to go, allowed the game to flow more, and it saw some meaty challenges go in that he would maybe have called as fouls last season. This resulted in (mainly) the Chelsea fans giving the referee pelters for what they saw as fouls on Chelsea players going unpunished. Souness liked what he was seeing, compared to recent previous EPL seasons, and made his ‘man’s game’ comment. Absolutely nothing, nothing at all to do with football being a man’s game.

Frankly, Aluko can fcuk off with her shite. She’s either being deliberately argumentative, or she’s a fcuking idiot. Or both.

When you take the opposite side to horrible Tory cow Eni Aluko in an argument you are usually going to find yourself in the right imvho. I’d probably go full Jackson Carlaw v Sturgeon when it comes to her and would be quite happy to argue the merits of eating shite if she said it was bad to do so.

Regardless of the context he meant it, Souness is a shite spouting, outdated, bigoted Tory arsehole, so f**k him. If this helps get the horrible, monarchy loving dinosaur and his constant singling out of black players off our screens and out of the media then more’s the better.

Would have liked to have seen a couple of uppercuts thrown by Conte and Tuchel, but the wee ruck was a good laugh. Sky are total cowards if they don’t use this in the build up to the game at Spurs

TV companies can dress ex footballers in all the  suits they like, but they are still thick as mince idiots. They should expect this kind of behaviour. 

You wouldnt catch Gabriele Marcotti or Fabrizio Romano belittling women's football or spitting in someone's face

This isn’t strictly true because Nketiah has improved massively and now looks a real threat too. Martinelli and Saka are also both very capable of regular contributions.
