It's BHAFC away to Ajax, one of the great clubs of world football and four-time European champions in one of the iconic stadiums of Europe. And there are only 2,600 tickets. Of course lots of people will be disappointed. But "change the loyalty system" is only ever shouted by those who miss...

I didn't notice his touch at the time, I thought Fati had passed it directly to Mitoma. But now I've seen it, wow. Absolute quality. That ball wasn't reaching Mitoma without it.

100% this. I think one of the clubs you mention will likely be his next job. I'd add Barcelona, PSG, Man United and Milan to the list. He's not going anywhere lower down the pecking order than those.

No chance at all. He's an elite manager and his next move will be to an elite club, which means one not just in the Champions League but in with a chance of winning it.

Agreed. I thought Bournemouth's tactics were interesting. Every team I can remember has either pressed us high (allowing us to play around them) or retreated (allowing us to advance into their half unchallenged). Bournemouth committed the men forward to match our 'box' between the CBs and CMs...

I thought AEK were really good and much more than just a low block team as some suggest. They got forward with numbers, pace and power. If they play like that against Ajax and Marseille they'll pick up plenty of points in this group. It also can't be a coincidence that all our attacking...

Sounds good. Sunday night TV is dull and almost everybody is at home. Huge audience + no competition = good idea. I'd happily watch a PL match every week at that time in exchange for having to go to the Amex once a season on a Sunday evening when it's our turn to fill the slot.

I don't think it's about difficulty, as you say a flight is a flight. It's more availability. This coming Thursday there are 10 flights from Gatwick to Amsterdam but only 2 from Gatwick to Marseille. At 200 seats per plane, it's 2,000 seats per day versus 400. Therefore it's reasonable to think...

Maybe, but he has a 19 year old in goal, a 19 year old winger signed from Espanyol B for £2.5m who was the most dangerous player on the pitch tonight, a 22 year old from Switzerland who scored, another 22 year old upfront who has 2 in 4. These are the types of signings that have made us what we...

I think Burnley will be OK. I like the fact they've gone for a young manager and quite a few young, unproven, hungry players. I think they'll improve as the season goes on. I'd rather see their approach than the clubs that assemble a bunch of mediocre names on big money.

Villa away will be tough. They have the players and tactics to play the low block but with good quality on the ball and a goal threat. I don't think that type of game suits us. I expect us to beat Bournemouth and Liverpool. Man City could go either way but we have a far greater chance of a...

This is it for me. I've got 336 points so should be OK for a ticket for any match, but only have limited annual leave. Two of the three aways is my limit. I've already booked Amsterdam but have opted for Athens over Marseille on the basis that I'm not travelling to France and spending the best...

We've already played the teams that finished third and fourth last season in our first five. How is that easy?

If Luton and Sheffield United weren't so poor I'd say Chelsea could be a genuine relegation candidate. It doesn't matter how much the players cost, if they can't score they'll be near the bottom.

I haven't seen any figures on how many Bully XLs there are in the country or how long they've been here. Basically how big is the problem?

Can't come soon enough. At least with it being a dog that is being banned the owners can't even try to conceal it.

Liverpool have just built a huge new tier at one end without ever closing the lower tier. I know structurally The Amex is totally different, but if we could do something like that it would look unreal.

I think there will be at least double the number of people wanting to go to Amsterdam than Marseille, possibly treble. Look at the number of flights across multiple airlines between London and Amsterdam compared to Marseille, plus trains and ferries. It's much, much easier to get to. It's also a...

I'd like to see England play well tonight for Lewis and his prospects of more caps. I'm not sure they will though.

How could you even go to sleep at night with one of those things in the same house?
