The thing is that I'm so used to this now that I'm not even bothered. All you can do is roll your eyes and see the funny side.

f***ing hell. How lazy was that defending?

Promising position, lots of players forward.... Pass back to Walker, pass back to Stones.

I'm really excited by this signing. Yes it's a lot of money, but he looks like exactly what we've been crying out for on the right ever since March got injured. Pace, skill, someone who might do something unexpected (not just cut inside every time like Facu). Having this threat on the right will...

Both Moder and Baleba are rapid. Just a shame that they're too inconsistent.

Not sure, as I don't remember the incident, but the kid with the Cucurella hair was Todd Miller.

How does he compare, in terms of levels of hype and expectation over in Sweden, to Yasin Ayari? I also would expect him to go out on loan, though maybe to step up a level in terms of the league he plays in, to the Eredivisie or the Championship perhaps.

Fact of the matter is it's all part of the BBC's woke agenda, which has led ITV to make this decision. Next thing you know they'll only be airing black lesbian disabled refugee ball, and then you'll all be sorry! Wonder what Lineker Starmer the Guardian Carol Vorderman has to say about that!

KDH has said no and we've retracted the offer. That's all there is to it ultimately. What he goes onto next isn't our concern, nor is his bank balance, nor how many splinters he has in his arse from the Chelsea bench. A whole load more hand wringing about Chelsea won't change that. Let's go get...

Tolaj looked to have so much potential at one stage. Banging them in at U18 and U21, then got a nasty injury and never reached that peak again. I was somewhat surprised he chose to stay in the lower leagues rather than head back to Switzerland, but glad to see he's making progress and carving...

Baleba, Gilmour and Hinsh are all decent options at PL level with high ceilings, already above Moder in the pecking order. But yes we need at least one new starting quality CM. Maybe two, depending on how Hurzeler's system works. Rumours of us being after KDH, Wieffer, Gomez, Yalcouye and...

Baleba, Gilmour, Hinshelwood, Milner, Dahoud. Not saying that that's a good enough set of options, but there's still bodies there.

The big Brazilian clubs are no mugs selling to Europe. Clubs like Flamengo and Palmeiras have made a lot of money in recent years, it's not like dealing with Rosario Central, Independiente del Valle or Libertad. €4m for one of their young stars will be laughed at.

Union Jack is objectively a better flag. Original design, striking to look at but well balanced. Plus the history of it combining the English, Scottish and Irish flags is interesting. The French flag? Another one of hundreds of three banded dull tricolours? No imagination, drab. You go around...

That's the softest pen I've seen for a while. Oh well what a shame never mind. Come on Georgia!

I usually run out of energy at 2 or 3am trying to follow along on election nights. But for this one I'll be finishing up a period of fieldwork in Colombia, 6 hours behind BST. So I'll finish my work for the day, safe in the knowledge my proxy vote has been cast, plug into a VPN for the UK and...

Well that doesn't fill me with confidence. Bottom 2% for pass completion?

Sounds like they'll have lots of money coming in to pay for Deniz then.

A fair point there, it opens accusations of throwing the election. Certainly unacceptable though perhaps harder to prove than betting on insider knowledge. Then the major difference is how the parties have acted in response. Starmer had been assertive and taken action, where Sunak dithered...

Surely betting on the outcome of an election (something that is not known in advance and you can not have inside knowledge of beyond the polls which are public) is very different to betting on the date of an election, when you are part of the group who decides what the date of that election will...
