"I take full responsibility..."

What the **** does that even mean? Walker has just said it about his red card, someone said it in the week about something. It's not a thing! Saying "I take no responsibility" is a thing. Does it mean that if a player does something really bad, but takes responsibility than we are supposed to forgive him? Does it mitigate what he did? Why should it? The rest of us take responsibility for everything we do all the making mistakes time. Why should players be different and why to writers/pundits even bother to report such a stupid statement. Of course you accept responsibility- who else is responsible for getting sent off???????

Sometimes however players from teams in red are responsible with their Tom Daley impressions and we mustn’t forget referees getting thing completely wrong e.g. Son twice.

I think that he's just accepting that he ****ed up and that he deserved to be sent off.
He could've pointed out that the first yellow was very soft, for a start.

I doubt it'll happen, but he could end up getting left out of future squads, if he doesn't up his game.
Alexander-Arnold, Wan-Bissaka and Trippier are all pushing for his place, while Maitland-Niles offers more versatility.

Pep the messiah coached back in the full Bonzo that Pochettino removed. :)

Proof indeed that Sugga Daddy FCs often just covet the players of
other teams purely on "because I can" basis rather than the material
improvement they bring to a team.

He’s definitely gone backwards since leaving Spurs, I think that’s more to do with losing a bit of pace which always saved him rather than Poch being a better coach than Pep though

Are we not allowed a home draw this season or something?

Our last home draw in the FA cup was the 3rd Round in January 2019...we got to the semi finals that season....8 draws ago
Our last home draw in the League Cup was in September 2018 ... 4 draws ago.

12 away draws on the trot in English Cup Competion plus the 2 away draws in the EL means we have had 14 consecutive away draws in knock out cup games <yikes>

Sounds statistically unlikely.
Edit: It's 16,384/1, I think.
