What's sad is the one player who has had a chance to leave the country and play for Madrid sounds like he has given away half his brain. I have no idea who decided Michael Owen should ever present his thoughts on football.

Not the only one. McManaman too. One full brain between them.

Neville is ok, he tries to look at things in more depth than your average ex player and some ex managers and at least tries to appreciate modern methods. The rest of the United lot are dreadful and suffer to a much bigger extent from exactly what Mirth talks about, obsessed by how they did things.

You will rarely have pundits on the level of Mourinho, Pep or Arsene. These guys obsess over football to an insane level of detail. It's one of the reasons why I have hope for Emery, because I reckon he's got a similar obsession from what I've read.

The ex-footballers are great for anecdotes and insight into the inner-workings of top-level football, but rarely for analysis of the game.

Oh no. No, no, no. That needs to be removed from the world permanently, gone forever for the good of humanity. I'm not sure I can live in a world where that exists.

They should probably delete the video too.

Does he though, or is it just that he's usually sitting beside Redknapp and Carragher who are complete dullards.

Seriously, how was that not a free kick at 28 seconds and why was VAR not used to rule that goal out. That was a disgusting foul on Haller by Gundogan.

Our two best strikers are Aubameyang and Lacazette.
Chelsea has Tammy and Giroud.

Maradona on the bench for Everton.

Top of the league! Top of the league!

We are top of the league!

Pukki with a brace for Norwich. I had him down as one of the PL top scorers after the season he had last year in the Championship.

Trossard scores in his first start for Brighton too. Lots of interesting players in the smaller teams this year.

Pukki hattrick. Four goals in total his first two Premier League games.

jesus christ ings should have equalized

Was linked with us for a long time. Apparently a very productive winger. One to watch

Pool looked professional in their victory. Mane is some player

Now City are camped out in Spurs’ penalty area.

City all over Spurs. Goal feels inevitable.
