Good. Not that I have watched MotD for about 15 years or so. But good nonetheless.

Me neither, but Cates and Chapman are always great on the radio. Logan just a very experienced pro.Match of the Day presenters: Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan to host MOTD

Yeah, and no/less Lineker is invariably good however you slice it.

I'm still shocked that whenever I catch the News before MOTD they still give it the old "if you want to avoid the results, look away now". Do people still actually do this before MOTD?

Not far from the best CB combo in the league, they are very good. The system is just perfectly balanced, I didn't think we were actually going to score at all so the Jota goal surprised me.
Salah has form for this. He goes crazy first half season then turns to rubbish second half. That performance was nothing new but I personally dont think it had much to do with Williams. Salah just didn't show up.
We need to get him fit enough to start games. If we can I'm not concerned about anyone catching us. If we can't we are in big strife.

That was my take on it too, wasn't like he didn't have chances. 2 months ago he's curling them into the top corner, now he's putting them into Row X.

MOTD when you successfully avoided the scores as a child was the GOAT tv show. When ITV took it over they added spoilers, had Des Lynam saying things like ‘we’ve got a seven goal thriller to show you from White Hart Lane today’. Somehow I still get angry thinking about it.

4 seasons in a row he's done this and each time it has cost us. It's no wonder FSG won't meet his wage demands when you also factor in his age, the G/A stats are there but the underlying numbers when the season is on the line tell a different story.
Side note but I'm more convinced than ever that we will lose all 3 of the uncontracted guys. VVD is the only one I have some hope for.

After an absolutely horrendous week or so my dad made me go to the Wrexham game tonight. We beat the sheep molesters so I have smiled.

This would usually be followed by him saying "Right after this advert break" as well, which compounded the apoplexy.

Not even I expected a 9 year extension for Haaland

Been some rumours of a wage cap coming to the prem for a while, this might just be City gearing up for that.
Release clause in effect from 2029. I suspect he's long gone before the 9.5 years
Also some elite trolling that the contract is exactly 115 months

I watched the Man United game back earlier today and Mainoo is really struggling to fit this Amorim system. Obviously its early but he just doesn't seem to suit the demands of the double pivot when United are the better side. He was very good against us when on the back foot and sitting deep but when forced to have possession against Saints he couldn't progress the ball effectively and killed the tempo in build up (when not giving it away).
It was telling that Eriksen made them look much better off the bench.
Given his wages and United's desperation to raise funds for transfers it will be an very interesting situation to watch unfold over the next year or so.

I think Mainoo mostly just loves a big stage, basically all of his best games have been against Liverpool or City. It also means he’s a bit overrated, at least in terms of current ability, because those are the games people watch. But he’s got crazy potential and I’d be horrified if we sold him.

He's quality, very very good player no doubt about it.
From what I've seen I just don't think he's got what Amorim is looking for in those central midfield roles, yet.
After a week of football, maidstone away to see my local side enfield town last Saturday lost 4-0, what a terrible place to watch non league football that is.
Then it was my turn for the season ticket for both united and spurs which was a roller coaster to say the least. I don't think we played particularly well in either but at least against spurs the dynamism was back and we looked more likely to score. Villa will be very difficult game and we will need to be better again to get the points.
