Looks like he’ll only ever really need to play 45 minutes.

Job jobbed by then and the rest of the squad can have a bit of a kickabout for the other 45

I wonder how many points clear of everyone else Citeh will be by the end of the season? And what’s the record for goal difference?

Yeah, it's not looking good, they're into their stride and injuries are reduced as well, they played a CL game and managed to rest De Bruyne, Rodri and Foden, and then be able to take off Haaland and Bernardo early, if they carry on like this it'll be another season focusing on who is going down!

Was nice to see Grealish looking sharp and having a go last night as well, he's starting to fit into the team as well and starting to look like he belongs in the starting line up now.

That’s the terrifying thing about Citeh. You look at their bench and any one of those players would be one of the first names in the starting line up for any other team in the league

Steve Bruce still being Steve Bruce.

An absolute fraud and will still get several millions in a pay off.

Albion season ticket holder here...it's ****ing toxic up there at the moment. I was glad we lost last night, hopefully will accelerate his ****ing departure.

Shame he was free when Utd were looking to replace Ole...

Big one tonight. Battle of the hoops: QPR v Reading - the former being the false hoops.

Anyone else watching the England women? So much better, more positive and good to watch than the men! Good game so far…

It’s all about the high pony tail tonight

An Engerland game that’s actually worth watching

Yep. Refreshingly positive play and atmosphere, admittedly the top 2 teams in the world so it should be.

I like the fact we've become a bit nastier, we were too lightweight last year and Ince has added that to our game, but now we're tending to give away silly fouls - and right on cue......

At least VAR was able to differentiate between an ass and an elbow.

Citeh have Southampton at home today. Think it’s worth a punt on a fourth consecutive hat trick for Haaland. I bet the odds aren’t high

And I’m presuming everyone has him as captain on their FF team?

Watching Tottenham play football could be classified as a cruel and unusual punishment!

Even as a spurs fan I've not felt engaged to watch this season.... Although I do have a ticket for Everton. Seagulls, another win which is impressive..... Without being at all impressive by the look.

Good to see spaghetti western bad guy, Diego Costa back in the Premier League.

Arsenal beginning to look like the real deal.

Arsenal beginning to look like the real deal.

Yeah, they weren't at their best today, big players were a bit quiet, but they still managed to grind out a result, not something you'd have seen a year or two ago, Martinelli is turning into a bit of a player, and a few of those big money players are starting to look like their pricetag, Ben White at right back and Tomiyasu at left back worked well for them in this type of game as well, so they do seem to be able to change their format for big games.

Liverpool are really struggling to get results though, they played well in stages, but that team doesn't look like a team, they've lost a bit of their confidence and leadership by the looks of it, and next up in the EPL is Man City!

Liverpool need some better central midfielders, Henderson and Thiago don't have the legs to chase a game

Been a bit tuned out of PL this year but with the magic telly ref ‘n all that, are all teams picking up penalties as soft as Arsenals? Flippin tragic.

Seem to have managed to scrape a comeback against Rangers tonight.

Firmino was class tonight. Nightmare for Rangers after starting well - a very limited side on tonight’s showing.

Newcastle fans will be consulted over St James’ Park naming rights, insists CEO

So you’ll get a choice of 2, maybe 3. none of which will have St, James or Park in the title.

Sorry, market forces.

thought I'd watch Wolves vs Forrest hoping some goal action! it's ****ing dire.... Wolves seem to have a prop forward playing on the right wing Traore ? who should cut back on the steroids and gym work and spend more time with a football at his feet he's over hit every cross and fluffed every chance. Costa has a cigar out strolling around stealing a living!

Has anyone been watching the rebooted Fantasy Football on Sky with Matt Lucas and Ellis James?

It’s actually really good. Probably more entertaining than Wolves v Forrest 😂

In other news, Burnley are top of the championship.

Was just about to post when will spurs get their penalty, and as by clockwork Kane falls over in the box.

Well I was at the game and it looked pretty clear Pickford tripped him from my where I was sat. Be Doherty and hojberg had good performances. First half wasn't electrifying by any means but serving half spurs went up a gear and seemed decent, worth their goals and a comfortable win.

You'll need to watch it on replay, only one thing in Kane's mind when he got to the ball, the amount of play acting and diving wasn't good to watch yesterday, was like watching an Italian team from a generation ago.

He clearly tripped him, but only because Kane manufactured the contact that led to it.

Mixed feelings; some would see it as clever play - in basketball it's taught and encouraged to create (and avoid as a defender) contact and fouls - others would see it as cheating. Conversely, once he'd fumbled the shot Pickford could have given it up and prepared for next phase, by diving in he created the opportunity for Kane so has to be seen as poor decision making in that instant.

Just seen the Kane incident. Gotta say that's a dive. It's 20 years ago English fans were lambasting Klinsman for this. Kane is getting a reputation for this.

Pickford fumbled and made a stupid decision to trip Kane who had his back to goal. Clearly a penalty, won by Kane? No, given away by Pickford needlessly. Pickford is great at stopping shots and time wasting...oh and gurning. He doesn't keep his head though.

The contact was with Pickfords head and Kane moving his thigh into it, as @theotherjonv said, it was manufactured, his only intention was to make contact and fall over, there was no 'trip'.

It wasn't pretty to watch with the simulation, Son going over at any chance, same with Bentancur, a couple of the yellows were more for the amount of rolls they did rather than the actual contact!
