    What an absolute legend. Feels like another part of the game has died today :(

    RIP Motty, you'll be hugely missed in English football.

    Commentary on the third has to be my favourite of his.

    Can't add more than others have said. To those of a certain age, Motty was the voice of football. RIP Motty and thanks for bringing football to life to so many.

    To commentate at 10 world cups is a phenomenal achievement which shows just how well he was regarded.

    There'll never be another like him that's for sure.

    Our match vs Man Utd falls in between their two matches in the next round of the EL. Which is good.

    But because it'll mean that match gets moved to the Sunday, it does also mean that we'll now have 24 hours less to prepare for the midweek home game against Brentford which follows it.

    Mussolini was on the bench tonight for Lazio. You might not be surprised to learn he plays on the right.

    He's right-footed, though, so unlike his great-grandfather, he probably won't be best-suited for use as an inverted right winger.

    Ah, but will he swap sides if he thinks he's losing?

    Also not suprising that he plays for Lazio given their Ultra's links with fascism.

    Sorry, I wouldn't normally support Man United but I can't ever support a team that's used as a sportswashing vehicle for a horrendous regime.
