    It's like Trump. Every incident should be a disgrace but it happens so frequently that you run out of anger. Seriously, nothing could have been more predictable. But this won't be mentioned by the pundits who assume Pool are entitled to runners-up. It will just be about how they hung in there and won.

    And on the extremely rare occasions that a decision is perceived to have gone against the Mousers and they drop points, there is a mass outpouring of media grief and general outcry that their darlings were hard done by.

    If all decisions had been given correctly so far this season, the Mousers would all but certainly have several less points. It makes you sick, but these days you come to expect it.

    Fair enough, but it would have been given if it was a Pool player going down.

    Just seen it again and now I don't know. There may or may not have been contact very difficult to tell.
    It's certainly not nailed on.

    I might give Sarri a year at Chelsea, two at the very outside. The defeat against City seems to have demoralised the Man Utd players as they couldn't beat Palace today. Watford did well to keep Liverpool out for quite a while but collapsed when they conceded. I'll take Arsenal to get a result at Bournemouth. Look at Everton creeping up and we play them soon so a tricky fixture for us.

    All in all before today's match I'd have taken a 3-1 but in hindsight I'm concerned about the missed chances and a 4 or 5-0 would have been a perfect springboard for us for the next games. We might be back to scraping ugly wins but in the CL that'll do me.

    I'm going for a 2-1 win against Inter.

    Big afternoon, we need Bournemouth to get something from the goons this afternoon so that in the unlikely event that the unthinkable happens next weekend, we remain above them.

    The goons have a habit of struggling against them.
    Also after a poor start the goons have done OK, but fixtures have been kind. I don't thing that they are as good as their league position suggests.

    I must admit I haven't taken any notice of their record against The Cherries but the goons being the goons are capable of springing surprises.

    **** refereeing as well, a decent goal chalked off for a non existent off side.

    You've beaten us away 1 time in the last 8 years. Which is the only time you've beaten us at our place in 20+ odd years.

    Obviously, you're a far stronger team and have a better manager compared to the last 10-15 years. But you were also the superior side and had the better manager last season too, yet we ended up outplaying you.

    It's a north London derby. Anything can happen. And if you think you'll be 'twatting' us at our place, you're going to be in for an unpleasant surprise.
