Have to feel sorry for those drivers that excel in wet conditions, as they just never get to actually use that ability anymore. #F1 #BahrainGP

Getting a bit sick of the narrative that Chelsea FC received a lenient punishment because they self-reported. Many of the offshore payments exposed by the Guardian and media partners were not self-reported (possibly because the new owners didn't know, although we can't be sure of that).

Say something like: I am here; more than ever. I am, always have been, always will, be behind my club, my owner, my chairman, Ferran, the players, staff, Enzo and you, our unique supporters. Let me be clear: we will get through this together. I love you all.

I hope all those new City signings insisted on a relegation release clause. Should've joined Spurs, Mr Ndiaye, where relegation is marginally less likely.

Anything less than expulsion from the football league, removal of the owners and a fine on a scale unlike anything seen before and City will have got off lightly.

The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

Given the circumstances, Haaland to Spurs makes sense for all concerned I think.

How bad are the Spurs so this season? 20th in the table is, understatement, not great. But, are they relegation candidates? Probably not. For xG/xGA/xPTS, rank is ~15th. If Brentford game was an outlier (I think/hope it was), then considerably better for xGA (5th best) and xPTS (12th). xG ~16th

What a horrendous own goal to concede. United more determined to send Spurs bottom than they are to sort out their own issues, apparently.

I miss Palhinha. Everyone seemed to want him gone, but his attitude was second to none, he gave us a big physical presence that we now lack - especially from set pieces - and was good in both boxes. We'd be better if we'd spent £15m on him and £80m on a striker, instead of signing Tonali IMO. #COYS

Kinsky Porro Van Hecke VDV Udogie Fernandes Tonali Kudus Maddison Savio Marmoush Need to start playing our best possible 11 after the international break. I think this is probably it right now. Only concern would be it's a bit lightweight. #COYS

I'm on 11 points from 7 players in #FPL this week, so you should all definitely listen to my football opinions.

Dan Almond @s17pur.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
A lot of people on Bluesky have been waiting for De Zerbi to fail and are seemingly revelling in this right now. I think we'd be mad to get rid of him now. We're not playing badly, we're just not winning football matches. Under Ange and Frank we were playing terribly *and* losing. #COYS

Getting rid of Pascal Gross in my wildcard a couple of weeks back is looking like one of my all time worst #FPL decisions. What a player he is.

Another team that play in a low block and hit on the counter. It's our kryptonite and sadly the entire league now play the same way. #COYS

Dan Almond @s17pur.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Struggling to maintain any sort of positivity here. We were excellent for 45 minutes but the mentality is so weak. I don't know where we go from here. Down is the obvious answer. #COYS

Kudus looks to me like he's got a case of the Michael Owens. He's scared to sprint, which is a bit of an issue when your entire game is based on dribbling past your opponent. #COYS

Taking a positive slant, at least that Villa goal happened when it did and so we've got a full half to try and rectify the situation. Of course they will sit in and play on the counter, just as they were doing anyway, but it's up to us to smash through the bus. #COYS

This is an just utterly ridiculous. We should be AT LEAST 2 goals ahead, and we're going in behind. What on earth have we done in a past life to deserve this? #COYS

Trying to figure out some way that Mateus Fernandes is not playing as the 10, but unfortunately no matter how much I try, it looks like he is. Hopefully, he proves me wrong but for me he has to play deeper. #COYS

Brighton are so fun to watch. They're losing here thanks to two quick-fire goals, but it's not really deserved. They play the ball so quickly and it's progressive passes not sideways and backwards nonsense. Shame the final ball is all a bit Spurs tonight for them. #MUNBHA

More train fun this morning on Merseyrail. The train cameras aren't working apparently, so the driver is 'turning the train off and on again' to try and fix it. Nice to know that trains apparently work the same as household electrical items.

So we've had the lion's share of possession, created the better chances and lost ultimately to a couple of incredible finishes. Pretty happy with that performance overall, some definite signs of improvement there at a ground where we never get a result, no matter how well we play. #COYS

If people want to call anything 'Spursy' it should be stuff like that, where a team scores an impossible 1/100 strike against us, when they're under the cosh. I've seen Christopher Samba hit worldies against us. #COYS

It's another decent enough performance, bookended by incredibly poor finishing and some dodgy defending. You might be able to live with one of those two things, but having both is a recipe for defeat. #COYS
