The bigger shame is his replacement.

If you get a new phone it’ll eventually need you to contact them to reset your account to enable the download. If you can download it multiple times it doesn’t stop touts, which is one of the main reasons for it. It’ll just display the seat details eventually in google pay.

Don’t do that again cos once it’s deleted you aren’t supposed to be able to redownload it.

If you have an iPhone you can make it auto refresh if you click the three black dots and then pull it down on your screen. But, I reckon mine might be broken which is worrying.

No, it’ll auto refresh closer to the time. You only need to do it once.

Adrian called him ‘Modelo’ on his Instagram story before. Which I presume is a reference to the bottled lager, which made me laugh.

I think he’s got a spreadsheet or something. I think he’s going to turn up at my front door with the printout.

I’ve listed Chelsea’s midfield options, I’m not sure who I’m dismissing. They play two central midfielders, two wing backs, occasionally the right one is an actual winger, and two weird hybrid attacking midfielder type wingers (number 10s) filled by players who would be as likely to play in goal as central midfield in this Chelsea team, with the obvious exception of Mount who I included in the five. Chelsea without Jorginho and Kante wouid be in a worse position than we would without Fabinho and Henderson in my opinion. They’d be playing who as their two exactly? Id be rubbing my hands together whoever it were. It’s hardly like we’re at a huge disadvantage relative to the competition. I did include Eric Dier there by the way, but you’re correct in that I didn’t include Harry Winks (I forgot and pointed that out later) and Christian Eriksen (he didn’t play there for Spurs). In the same way I wouldn’t include Minamino in our midfield now, especially if we played a two. For your own sake however, I’d recommend muting me. It can’t be healthy to spend time doing that.

I don’t think we retain the ball as well with him as opposed to Firmino. Do wonder if everyone might throw a mad one in on Saturday and do all four with Fabinho and Henderson holding.

Who am I dismissing? Over time we find out things we did pant know and I don’t think Minamino is a midfielder now, I was wrong on what I believed he was. Was expecting him to play as part of a midfield three with two holder types behind him and three attackers in front of him, a bit like Elliott on Saturday really. Not really sure what your point is anyway.

It’s in excess of 50 people from 19 of the 20 sides. Madness.

It’s mad when broken down. Our Brazilians get back on the 10th for example, leave quarantine on the 21st habit presumably become less fit while in a holiday inn expresss by Heathrow, have two weeks out, and then go back to South America and repeat the process again. And it’s going to impact pretty much every team. You’d expect the government are going to change the rules.

I think Sky have moved towards this. BT has become unwatchable now.

They do play a central two, sometimes they play a back four as well and then a 3, but they only really have three players who’d expect to be in that two anyway and one is Kante who’s very injured so it doesn’t alter the point too much. Jorginho goes down they’re in a pickle. Same with City and Rodri really.

Can’t imagine he wouldn’t be. It’s hotel quarantine on the return.

Refused to let him go on international duty, well the game in Egypt cos he’d have to quarantine on return. Hopefully the Brazilians next.

I dunno, he was on with Murphy the other day. I’d rather Jeans than Murphy any day of the week. But start Match of the Day at 11 having watched the 9pm Spanish game, and fast forward through all the nonsense. Top tip.

Maybe they could say they same about Ox and Jones, but they’re probably 6th and 7th choice when you list our midfielders. Their 6th and 7th choices are in their youth team.

It isn’t generous given they don’t play in midfield. Would be like me claiming Firmino is a midfielder. Doubt Loftus Cheek will feature much to even be considered relevant, wouldn’t surprise me if he leaves, but he’d be nowhere near our side in terms of level anyway. It isn’t a huge plus point to their depth and strength that he’s number 5 on a list, if anything the opposite.

One of those plays in defence and four play in the front three.

Ok. We’ve got a squad stronger than our rivals in some areas and weaker in others, would say our central defence and central midfield is stronger than both, and in some areas they beat us. Chelsea’s midfield is basically Kovacic, Kante, Mount and Jorginho. If we had four players there people would be having kittens.

Wasn’t what I was doing but if people want to do that fair enough. Personally think it’s in a great position to achieve their primary objective, but the idea the summer has been shambolic is ridiculous. A shambolic summer would be 2012 when we had no strikers. This one it appears we want a midfielder if Fabinho and Henderson are both out.

If you think we’re short then you must be delighted by how short our two main rivals are in the same position.

I didn’t mention winning the league this season. I mentioned nothing more than the ability and depth of the squad we have.
