Would absolutely love to see Coventry, PNE, and god love me, even Millwall come up this year. 

Can't agree on Preston. Especially while they continue to employ Osmajic.

Couldn't believe that last night. Back after 9 games out then nuts an opponent! Absolute mad man!

Is there any more infuriating team to support than Spurs? You spend half your life euphoric at great wins like last night then the rest of it despondent at performances like the ones against Bournemouth and West Ham.

Saturday I was a train into London with Spurs and West Ham fans after the game.  It was like a Monty Python sketch.  Spurs fans: we're the shittest.  West Ham fans: oh you think you're shit?  We're so shit that our players train on a minefield in the snow for 29 hours a day... type vibes.

Ever so slightly in his defence,  which the big racist doesn't deserve, we are an absolute team of shithouses. Lundstram goaded him, got the reaction he knew was coming and sold it like prime Terry Funk. The guy is a moron but he was played.

He should never have been in that position in the first place. Preston should have fired him on the spot after the Hannibal Mejbri incident. I hope they get relegated.

Celtic/Hearts today is the first time in a long time where I’ve almost felt too nervous to watch a club football match. I want Hearts to win the league badly, but I can’t see them overcoming O’Neill’s Celtic.  Given the amount both Celtic and Rangers are spending on transfers this window compared to Hearts, it feels like an impossibility. Then you have the Shankland injury. 

If Hearts win today, the league is theirs to lose. The stakes are very, very high and the stress of that is giving me second thoughts about even watching this match - it could ruin my Sunday if it doesn’t go they way I want it to!

To paraphrase Danny Baker… Arsenal were never going to win it, we were all just being polite.

The title, I mean. Not today’s game. The inevitable slide begins.

Fair play to Man U. They were disciplined enough and showed an incisiveness in transition that Arsenal just don’t have. I think the most worrying thing was how bereft of ideas we were. And also how Eze looked like he hasn’t quite yet mastered the art of controlling a ball. But I’m sure the return of our lumbering oaf-in-chief Kai Havertz will propel us to the title.

On the plus side, a few more results like this and we may yet see Man U take the interim-manager-gets-the-permanent-gig  doom loop for another outing.

Imagine how much Amorim's stock has fallen in the two games played since he was sacked. He looks a total wanker after these two performances and that's even before you start talking about Kobbie Mainoo's role in them both.

I was thinking that watching the second half. There's a clear depth issue in the United squad - some of the benches they've named in the last 18 months are an embarrassment for a club of that size. However, the signings, bar Sesko, under Amorim have been really good and created a very strong first XI at least. The difference in the way they're set up, the way they fill the spaces without the ball so as to not expose people like Casemiro, the energy in the performances and the directness and bravery to try stuff going forward is night and day. Some of it reflects badly on the players but mostly on Amorim. 

I watched Hull City v Swansea on Saturday and although we won, we couldn't get the ball off them in the second half. For 10-15 minutes yesterday, Arsenal had the same problem with United. It was remarkable stuff from just a few weeks ago.

The interesting thing is now all the "Should Carrick get the job?" posts and videos are popping up. That's natural but surely United have been down this road before and stick to going and getting a big name in the summer?

I don't think we have a minor football thread anymore(sorry!), but could this be really be the first time since '85 that the Old Firm's dominance is broken? 

This is the most I've been interested in Scottish football since that brilliant rangers team was about with the likes of Gazza, Laudrup and McCoist!

Hearts were impressive yesterday, from what I saw, and more than deserved something. Rangers form looks ominous for them. Rangers have Hearts at home soon, that's a huge game.
