Sarr shocked me. Solid defending.

Top of the table and ManUre get hammered!

Mendy was amazing!

Yesssssss

Got to watch on my phone as I just got to Clearwater for a Jazz Festival. COYB!!!

I imagine Havertz and Jorginho are subs at some point.

I guess James is not ready. Sarr scares me.

My hope is AT knows every call he makes will be heavily scrutinized and he is cautious.

He has been suffering for headaches in the last two training sessions.

He has been fully involved in the last training season. Videos of him going hard.

Please let Kante and Mount be on the field. We need their energy.

BURN HIM!! He is easy to catch with the forever gimpy ankle!

He might be. He was on the Jets sideline in Spurs stadium in Jets gear for the London NFL game last weekend.

He is a Jets fan, that is what is wrong with him!

During the International break my family watched season one of Ted Lasso on Apple. I am jonsing so bad for a real match!! I mean I watched the USA WC qualifiers, but our head coach is soo bad even the wins get me angry with his bizarre starting XI.

I have no idea how they calculate it now? However they do, I think PSG and City proves wages are not in the calculation.

This is just fun conspiracy theory time. It is possible, but ridiculously unlikely, that Newcastle could buy some good near top tier players in January. Then in the summer, with his buy out clause, get Haaland and pay him PSG wages or higher and still be within FFP. Ahhhhhh it is fun to put the tin foil hat on for a second.

For the last month or so, Chelsea have firmly been thrown into the mix for Aurélien Tchouaméni, currently enjoying the time of his life at AS Monaco and with the France national team. Excelling in the 2-1 win over Spain in the UEFA Nations League final, the midfielder showcased exactly why the Blues, alongside many other European sides, are interested in his services either in January or next summer. Juventus are the ones seemingly pushing for a deal sooner rather than later, with Tuttosport constantly reminding their readers of the competition and how the Serie A side are trying to get ahead of it. They mention Chelsea once again in their article on Wednesday, explaining that after the Blues and Liverpool, it’s Real Madrid’s turn to join the fray, wanting to create a midfield pairing of Eduardo Camavinga and Tchouaméni in the long run. They aren’t the only ones claiming Thomas Tuchel’s side want the AS Monaco starlet either, as Le Parisien state the London side are ‘attentive’ to the player, who many see as mature beyond his years. The French newspaper interview a few people about him, including Jean-Luc Dogon, who trained him with the U17s and U19s at Bordeaux. He said: “He prepares, analyses and anticipates everything. As a teenager, he was already looking to understand everything at training. He plans things and never leaves anything to chance. He’s a hard worker. He never panics and manages his emotions”. All that has allowed him to be where he is today, which isn’t quite on top of the world, but he’s getting awfully close to reaching a level where few will be able to ignore him. http://sportwitness.co.uk/never-panics-Chelsea-interest-hard-worker-continues-tuchel-co-attentive-situation/

The whining there is pretty pathetic. At the root of it is not a moral high ground, but fear that another club will attain the buying power they have for players.

Weekend at Jason's bunker.
