From less than 2 years ago - not a penny under £70m...

I saw no evidence of pace today; perhaps the splinters in his arse have affected his legs? On today's (admittedly brief) showing, he has nothing else to offer.

As above, Bednarek's tackle was worthy of a deep amber, but not a red. About as professional a foul as you will see, without a sending off.

Hey, Stevie Wonder can drive. Just ask Lionel Richie.

Playing for a shit team hasn't done Pickford any harm. I reckon Ramsdale will be in the England squad this season, as long as he keeps up the heroics for Southampton.

Indeed.

If he keeps going like today, he'll be England's number one. Ironic that he and Pickford play for the two shittiest teams in the Premier League - at least they get to show off their abilities, I suppose.

Stephens did nothing wrong today, he did surge forwards a few times too. And he gives a shit. Downes was his go-go-gadget self, although he did concede possession a worrying number of times. Top foul, too. McCarthy did nothing wrong and a few things right, he even looked comfortable with the ball at his feet, albeit against modest opposition. THB was not at it today; he had a right rant at Sugawara at one point, despite the latter having done nothing wrong. It would seem that I am in a minority of one, but I thought KWP had a bit of a mare today. Smallbone is not a top-league player; he can read a game and has some nice touches, but his body-shape is all wrong when he receives the ball, he is physically weak and he was consistently robbed. Armstrong isn't going to cut it; so many attempted nutmegs - you're not in the Championship now, sonny, the big boys don't let that happen, unless you are Bukayo Saka. Diaz looks like he could be a handful, if deployed correctly. Didn't see enough of the late substitutes to form an opinion. Not sure what Aribo is supposed to be.

£30m? Fuck off. He's not going anywhere for less than £70m. World-beater, he is (according to some on here). Crab football RIP.

It's not autism. It's retardation.

I know someone who shagged him when he was away from his missus at a training camp.

To some derision, I posted on here that he was our most important player.

I truly hope you are wrong.

He's mediocre, Mr. WP. Accept it.

He's shit.

But, but, but - last summer he was worth £70m at least, according to most on here.

Looks like Pep is playing 3-1-5-1. Which genius said that the game was not about systems?

Why does he scratch himself like a flea-infested monkey during press conferences? Odious individual, one impossible to whom to warm.

Best football I have ever seen, to be fair.

We are about to find out about Mr. Potter.

£21m should ease the pain for Brighton.

Direct replacement for Marcos fucking Alonso.

He's definitely worked on his bench-press.

They will be up there, top 4 unless they get hammered by injuries. Watching All Or Nothing on Amazon, they come across as a likeable club. Loads of time and respect for Arteta, a very classy guy.
