It’s much quicker to scroll up.

Don’t worry I intend to. On Monday.

The original intention for reduced capacity games was to do it via a ballot, when it was hoped some fans would be let in for the Sheffield United game. But for the Vienna game they changed it to booking online, first come first served. Apparently on Twitter many were moaning that the online booking service this morning wasn’t working properly so I assume I wasn’t the only one getting that ‘Error 503 Backend unavailable, connection timeout’ message.

“Ceballos in midfield is a lender. He lends you the ball. He gives it to you to get the ball back. He is not putting the ball through the eye of the needle on a consistent basis for me."

Paul Merson quote on Ceballos is exactly right

The ballot system worked very well in Australia in the national rugby league. There were some variations if you had a family ticket but basically most people were very happy with the way the draws went.

Soton, Chelsea and us tonight hopefully.

Rumor but based on his overall performance, I'm giving it a wee bit of credence. I think we are probably 'thinking about it', and will cut our losses if things don't improve. Still too early in the season. BY the end of this season will probably be when a more concrete decision is made.

Arsenal are ready to sell Ivory Coast winger Nicolas Pépé if a suitable buyer for their 25-year-old record signing can be found

Big game tonight. Both teams have struggled to score. We have identical for and against a poor 9 for 10 against. I think they are more dangerous down our right side so Bellerin will require those in front of him to help defensively. Take notice Willian.

Want I want is the team to start with immediate effort. I would like to see Saka rested until Spurs(provided he is fit) M-N to start. I assume we will be stuck with Xhaka, but he is on final chance. Forwards - Aubameyang to start in the centre again and he really needs to put some effort in.

I have little confidence in the team but still think we might steal it 1-0.

They won’t sell Pépé.

They would get half the money spent back and at the end of the day I think he’s our most creative player in the whole squad. You would need an expensive replacement too.

Exactly. Brian Clough anyone?

Cloughie was an incredible manager who, with Peter Taylor, drove two dormant middle-ranking clubs to football greatness. For doing so it could be argued he was the best of them all. For me Arsene sits one rung lower on the ladder because unlike Clough he took over at a "big club", and sadly he never won the European Cup. But what a manager he was and what football we saw under his leadership. Even the less successful second half of his time was full of dramatic games and many wonderful players.

How much do I win when the 1000 quid on my Soton, Chelsea, Arsenal trifecta comes good?

I spent some time on youtube looking both Derby and Forest matches and his interviews.
The Clough/Revie interview was surreal.
Great managers are forgiven for a variety of things, just like Wenger will be forgiven for a whole lot less than Graham or Clough. Graham is still remembered very well despite how he left.

D@mn it! Man Utd equalized.

shh!!!!

C'mon Soton. You bent over and grabbed your ankles.

Possible anomaly about tonight’s game. Apparently Leno is wearing the outfield away shirt due to a clash of kits. I have no idea who invents the rule. But we are at home so surely Wolves keeper should change his shirt? Weird if true.

Every time I watch chelsea I can’t help but observe Mason mount seems precisely the type of player are crying out for

Wonder if they would be interested in a swap with Xhaka

That’s plain bizarre

Firstly there’s no clash with wolves yellow or their white and blue away kit anyway.

Have we not got an away goalkeepers kit. We used to.

Truly bizarre. Football kits used to be so simple back in the day.

Another example of the game disappearing up its own orifice due to money.

It’s so bizarre I wonder if it’s true. Did it come from a reliable source or some self-proclaimed ITK on Twitter?

Is the clash between Leno’s shirt and the outfield Wolves’ shirts? If so, why don’t they just wear their normal gold shirts with black shorts?

I’m assuming it’s because the black clashes with the black on the wolves shirts, however wolves have an away shirt that doesn’t clash with Leno but contains white sleeves and blue body they may consider this a clash. Their third away kit is red.

None of the wolves away goalkeeping kits clash with Leno so I’m assuming they consider that all of wolves outfield kits clash with Leno or our red shirts

Could go with Mexico's Jorge Campos colourful GK design.

Going by the rules Leno would be naked every week

Or this pink design from Jorge Campos.

Yep. Too much clash. Supposedly.

A Clash London Calling...

Hopefully our game will more interesting than the Tottenham one. Snooze inducing.

Decent XI we're putting out. I'm expecting a win. Time to turn this ship around.

Well done Messi

It’s true about Leno’s shirt.

Game time. I’ve selected the phoney crowd noise option

Now remember folks a large slug of wine or vodka shot every time ceballos or Xhaka pass the ball sideways to a full back. At least will make it a bit fun

Apart from anything else, I'm loving how solid we are at defensive corners now. It feels so alien!

Willian put a cross in!! I saw it!!

No frigging choice really. Paid for UHD so b*****y well going to watch it in that. But despite paying extra don’t get the option to avoid the canned studio laughter.

Oh s**t. Not looking good for Luiz or Jimenez.

So bad that they are not replaying the incident.

Yeesh, that does not look good AT all....

and Jimenez for them. Clash of heads. I'd be amazed if both players aren't subbed

The concussion argument will be raised again. I know there have been arguments for concussion subs, being an additional sub allowed by the team who's player is concussed. You'd think it would have to be an independent doctor to make the assessment, but really any doctor would put aside any match situation and just make a decision for the welfare of the player only.

Fair play to the Wolves manager for giving Luiz a pat on the back, one assumes to basically say we know that was an accident and you are not to blame.
