Gutting for James Maddison if that injury is going to keep him hobbled for even a few weeks.

Thank fuck for a month off from this dross.

Is celery a thing for Chelsea fans, or has someone just done a very random Tesco shop before going to the pub in Newcastle?

It's to do with an NSFW chant Chelsea fans sing, I believe.

I feel like we're seeing Darwin Nunez improve weekly right now. The timing of his runs, and especially his decision making on the ball, are better with each match. He was always going to need some time to adjust to the league and Liverpool style. He's doing quietly great.

Nice win at home going into the break.  Shame Leeds couldn't hold onto either the lead and then the draw but least we've closed the gap a bit towards the top 4. 

I keep forgetting that most of our squad actually aren't going the World Cup so this could be a good thing for us. I can't see Trent/Henderson/Fabinho regularly starting either so that could be a bonus. Konate's more of a back up for France so really it's just Alisson and Nunez who will get the regular game time you'd imagine. 

A draw would be perfect in the Newcastle/Chelsea game (if not a Chelsea win as the second best option) then just hope Sunday goes our way

This "score last minute winners" gimmick is fun, but also immensely frustrating.

[Lineker]

This is the most Tottenham Tottenham team I can remember in a good long while.

Correct. For whatever reason the song started off as only mildly NSFW in the 80s and at some point since was made much worse.

That was superb play and a finish by Willock

Where have they found SEVEN added minutes from?

I never quite got that one.

Just did a little bit of research into the origin and also found that, while it's been banned at the Bridge since 2007, some fans will still bring in celery to chuck on the pitch at away games.

[stokeriño]

Absolute nonsense that this game ended in shithousery. Newcastle had no cause to even bother given how impotent Chelsea were.

[Twist]

The only time I was nervous during that entire game was during the shithousing. Kind of tactics where it fees inevitable to backfire. God only knows what Lascelles was doing the turnip.

[Colly]

I'm not sure why the ref felt Trippier needed to sprint across to take a corner in injury time, or why he felt a booking for Pope for time-wasting was appropriate when Chelsea hadn't even set their defense, but whatever gets him off I guess. He'd lost control well before the postmatch fracas.

[Twist]

Oh, was there a fracas? I turned off at the whistle for the F1. Did Joelinton clobber anyone?

[Colly]

Handbags at best sadly.

[Baddar]

How Wolves weren't given that pen is beyond me. Ridiculous.
