Paul Merson has blabbered to anyone who will listen that he isn't convinced by Davinson Sanchez or Serge Aurier

Can't think of any other time his verdict has come back to haunt him like the Amityville Horror on steroids...

Is this the same Paul Merson who
A) "can't understand why Barklay didn't go to Chelsea 'cos he'd get games"
and
B) was outraged cos WBA refused to sell Johnny Evans to City.

Barklay being injured until December and WBA having Johnny Evans under contract and are not abliged to bend over for Pep doesn't appear to be part if his thinking.

Also, I enjoyed Thierry Henry's "Spurs don't act like a big club" nonsense.

No, we don't let our best players' contracts run down so they can leave for nothing, keep a squad of 35 players on huge wages when half of them are total rubbish and keep reappointing a manager who has clearly lost it.

It's not acting like a big club that's the trick, it's playing like one.

I find it hard to criticise Merson, to be honest, as he's not claiming to be an insightful football genius.
He's a laugh, doesn't take it too seriously and adds some comic relief to the whole thing.
I'd rather him than Charlie Nicholas or Michael Owen, who both add nothing and are dull as dishwater.

He's also honest about his club. This was from May:

I thought everyone knew the bloke down the pub is at
his most knowledgeable/prescient after 8 pints
(I know this because the bloke down the pub told me) .
 
The Grauniad did a fine job in their report on the Stoke/Man Utd match, praising the debut of German centre back Kevin Wimmer.

I think they need to have a word with their reporters, since they seem to think the Greater German Reich is still a thing...

Perhaps they meant to write that Wimmer Anschlussed
the Man Utd attack into the Stoke defence.
