Finding it quite interesting about how X number of players being to many to intergrate into a team. Saw City today and thought they looked like strangers at times. Think it is far to early to give out any assumptions about who is gonna do what. Apart from Cardiff going down.

People still get obsessed with 1 to 11 though tash, its a squad game now.

Like some of the crap spouted last year about Chamberlain "fitting in" an 11. The teams and squads will settle down in the next few weeks, then things will take a little more shape, especially after the world cup players are back up to speed.

Good to have football back! I was fearing a slow start for Spurs, so to get 3 points away is all we can ask for. Job done and onto next week. All hail goalline technology as no ref or linesman would ever have awarded that goal otherwise!

That red card for Jagielka was a ridiculous decision. He got that totally wrong. I'd question if it was even a yellow. It wasn't two-footed and his studs weren't really up either. On another note though, why was he even playing?? I thought Everton had bought a stack of new defenders to phase him out?? Ha.

Would love to say I told you so on West Ham, but they were away to perhaps the scariest attack in the league. It went the way everybody expected, can't really judge them on that. If they don't beat Bournemouth at home next week then we can write them off. :D

Fantasy League went quite well for me. Other than having 12-point Wan-Bissaka stuck on the bench! Doh.

Mina only arrives in England today, Zouma starts training today, is a stack code for two? ;)

Digne as well, he's a defender! :D Ha, no, I was just surprised to see Jagielka still featuring to be honest. I mean he's turning 36 in a matter of days. As you say, when Mina and Zouma are settled I don't expect we'll see much of Jagz.

Digne is a left back and came on as sub, Baines didn’t really put a foot wrong in all honesty.

Reports are saying that the new Spurs stadium won’t be ready so they need to give the FA a load of money to play at Wembley again - maybe that’s where the transfer money has gone

They should have a quiet word with Sadiq and see if he'll cut 'em a deal for using Stratford for a couple weeks...

Make up for the cheapskate deal handed to the porno kings by BoJo...
