Var drama. Varma.

Wilson having a cracking second half.

Morata looked sad before he missed it.

A big boost to the area's economy if he spends it in small, locally-owned shops.

I know what I want to watch this afternoon: a post-season friendly England in holiday mode vs a low ranking low-block team. Kill me.

There's that too. And that Slot doesn't seem to rate him. I'm more forgiving of players. Is why I've never made it to the top level of football management. Or any level as it happens.

Up top, supplied by Salah and Wirtz, he could score a few as second choice striker. Esp with a full pre-season and up to the 'intensity' needed.

One-handed on a bike, doing handslaps with a 4x4 up his ass?! We should get hard evidence he's come out of that unscathed before agreeing anything. And obviously after he's signed for us he's barred from such foolish antics

Simaoesque

Eight figure sum just to get me, Frimpong! It’s no difficulty. And I’m nagging’ Florian. And I ain’t stalling’ and I’m keepin’ it together. Salah’s around, gotta find something to say-la. For any kinda laugh I’m game. Don’t wanna be at Bayer. Listen to me, our fans. I never say anything at all…. But with so many right backs they forget my name (ame, ame, ame). They call me Trent. They call me Bradders. Stevie-Phil-Lawler. Always the same. That’s not my name. That’s not my name. That’s not my name. That’s not my name.

What the hell is wrong with this club?! Been working myself up to have the time-honoured moan all summer about our transfer activity. And now this! F*ck off FSG!

Thanks for announcing the announcement of the announcement

'A matter of time' now, huh. The Romano thesaurus is getting a workout to keep those updates coming.

Good to see he's playing a straight bat to the chatter and not giving a running commentary in public...

Finished Red or Dead the other day. This bit made me chuckle. RIP Willie. Willie put out his cigar, Willie finished his cognac. And then Willie followed Bill Shankly, Eric Sawyer and Sidney Reakes out of the bar and into the street to the car. Willie Stevenson looked at the Rolls-Royce. Willie whistled. Willie looked at Bill Shankly. And Willie said, This is a very nice car, Mr Shankly. I've never been in a Rolls-Royce before. Really, said Bill Shankly. This is the first time you've ever been in a Rolls-Royce? Well, I am surprised, Billy. I must say, I am very surprised. A man of your style, a man of your taste. But I suppose we do get a wee bit blasé down in Liverpool. I mean, riding around in our Rolls-Royces all day. Perhaps we do get a wee bit blasé, Billy. You mean you've got more? More than one? Oh aye, said Bill Shankly. I've got ten Rolls-Royces down in Liverpool, Billy. And I've a mind to buy another. I'm always on the look out for another Rolls-Royce, Billy.

I've been saying for four seconds now that we should sign this guy.

82-83 got 1 point from last 6 games. This team have smashed the run-in.

Another second half tactical masterclass from Arne coming up.

Lots of crosses. Bring Delap on.

Unlucky Lucho

Sarr had time for a cuppa before finishing that.

And Arteta because it's a respected scientific theory that Arsenal won the league in the multiverse.

With all the Wirtz, Salah wizardry going on we just need a fox-in-the-box to poke them in, a Tony Cottee say, or your Kevin Phillipses.

So tell me then Richard Hughes (can I call you Dick?), what was it that first attracted you to the 88.0 progressive carries Florian Wirtz?

One minor piece of analysis also missing: Slot >>>> Arteta
