The Football.....

Arsenal just got a bargain.
£25 million for Kieran Tierney ....

Sorry to see him go but it was probably inevitable.
I don't think he would have lasted many more years in Scottish football. The amount of kicking he took was unbelievable.

Good to see a not totally derisory offer for a quality player. Hope that's reciprocated if you come in for Taylor. We should be looking for Naismith levels of money at least for him.

Nice of Mo Salah to give so much money to a hospital.

I know they get paid a lot these days but that is still a huge chunk of money. Very generous of him and he deserves respect for doing it.

In other news it looks like Arsenal may pull off a double signing today (medicals permitting) - Kierney and David Luiz. Pleased about that!

Chin up. Nobody's season is going to be defined by their result against Manchester City

If it's like last season, Liverpool's season will be defined by their Man City result.

We (Arsenal) had City and Chelsea as our first two matches last season and lost them both. At the end of the season, if we had drawn those two matches we would have finished third and Liverpool would be champions.

The first few matches aren't vital but they can still come back to haunt you later!

Luiz was generally a good player for us. A solid defender capable of playing some wonderful long balls up the pitch. Scored some stunning goals but also committed some outrageous howlers.

Was a bit of a suspect during our two big player unrest seasons.

Past his best now but still a useful player imo.

Looks like VAR worked pretty well yesterday:

Even Shearer is gradually becoming in favour.

Re Wednesday's Super Cup - all women officiating team.

Hopefully we will see the players give the Ref' more respect than they usually do.

Another win for Barnet, 1-2 away to Notts. County. What with the draw against Sutton UTD. during the week, it's a good 7 points out of nine.

 

[Slick]

Another big win for the Famous Glasgow Rangers today. 6 - 1 in a fixture that might have cost us last season. A few players starting to look a bit tasty running at defenders, none more so than Jordan Jones who seems to have loads of potential.

Yeah but losing 5-0 at home (with 1 unfairly disallowed which would've made it 6) come on!

Welcome to the basement, Spokey.

Lampard gets a baptism of fire from the Red Devils…

A good weekend for Pompey fans. 2-0 win after the first week's loss (we beat Birmingham in the League Cup mid-week), and the neighbours lost as well.
