Someone is tilted. But at least Leeds will be playing a derby more at their level when they travel to Huddersfield next season.

Don't forget Rotherham.

He's the best Liverpool captain of my lifetime. Great player but an even better human being. 

Let's be reasonable.

Feb 15 (Reuters) - Iranian-American billionaire Jahm Najafi, chair of MSP Sports Capital, is set to launch a $3.75 billion takeover bid for English soccer club Tottenham Hotspur, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday, citing two people with direct knowledge of the plans. MSP Sports Capital is working with a consortium of investors to structure the bid, the report said, adding that it is weeks away from formally approaching Spurs owner Joe Lewis and the football club's chair Daniel Levy.

Daniel Levy will demand $3.75 billion and one penny and all you boys will say he played a blinder.

[Lineker]

You joke, but Joe Lewis supposedly wants $4.5bn! 

 

Meanwhile - Jesse Marsch will not be the next Southampton manager.

When they go down that will be why.

Completely unforced error, but that's still a really fantastic finish by KDB on his left foot

Who'd have thought we'd see Man City time-wasting to protect a lead 30 mins into a game against Arsenal?

[DavidMarrio]

Its flapentines day for Arsenal here. 

Big test of their character coming up

It's almost as if that's what football teams do.

I mean obviously the point was its been a while since a team like City has had to worry about protecting a lead against us but sure.

[Szumi]

Always love when a player places his penalty right where the keeper is pointing to where it's going to go. Maybe you should have dove that way then, Ederson!

Is it though? I've seen good teams come to Newcastle when we were shit and still do tactical fouls, slow motion throwins and the like. It's just a classic thing to moan about but then inevitably your own team does it the week after. Nothing will change until stop start clocks come in, but the idea that a Pep team is above that is laughable.

Grealish got very lucky his shot takes that awkward deflection, but that little flick from Gundogan to set Grealish up instead of shooting was really, really well done.

You're right, I should just expect it every game.

I went to a pub to watch this with an Arsenal fan I’m dating at the moment and she reacted so badly to me making fun (in a good-natured way!) of Arsenal fans for being lame that I have a feeling she might break it off with me.

Which is exactly what you’d expect from an Arsenal fan, tbf.

But does she think playing defensive football like Croatia is basically cheating?

[METALMAN]

You’re making me realise that I spend far too much time with football extremists. Although in my flatmate’s defence she doesn’t care about football outside World Cups when she uses it as a vessel for her extreme nationalism.
