46:25 onwards.

Neville's defence of his actions are just baffling. He doesn't drink. He's turned up for training for the last 10 years..... He's a footballing saint.
Keane makes the obvious good points that clauses are nothing unique and when the United fan shows that Neville is being a hypocrite Carragher demonstrates that he can't follow the argument.

It’s glorious. I was reading that Ramsdale has been relegated with every team for the last 4-5. Here’s hoping!

It's a process.
Much like the Flames, we just trust the process is happening.
One day, one unknown day, with no foreseeable timeline, the process will work and Arsenal will compete at the top again.

I sometimes hit my head against the wall questioning how I chose my 2 sports teams to support

I'm being serious when I say that's a good result for The Spurs tonight. There is zero benefit at all to going deep in that competition and the sooner they put distance between them and it the better.

Having said that.

I'd play an even younger team next week

Even if they win, treat it like the reserves and play the u23 team plus anyone trying to get back to fitness back from injury etc.

The only downside to losing is the bantering, which, who ####ing cares? It's the most pointless competition going. Just straight up score on your own net all game lol.

seeing a starting XI with numbers 1 to 11 makes me unreasonably happy. And of course it's a traditional club like Burnley ... first PL club with this since Charlton in 1998 apparently.

Although it was good to have each game on it's own last season, it's definitely nice to have Goal Rush back on a Saturday morning.

It’s a beautiful thing to see all the fans back in the stands. It’s also been really nice having some actual centre backs on the pitch.

I wonder though....did Klopp get Laser-Eye surgery or something? Contacts?

Its so strange to see him without his trademark glasses.

I did not see the Norwich game, so might be late with this, but he must have got his lasic in Las Vegas, as I can only assume he was on a buffet tour...

Numbers thing is cool but Burnley are grim man, I dunno how Dyche has kept them up as long as he has and not gone to a bigger club. That 11 looks like a mid-bottom table championship side. Teams like watford and brentford have come up with twice the quality already on the pitch even before transfers. Have a hard time seeing them and Norwich staying up in these early days.

How did they manage to find a Wolves fan for the colour commentator this morning? He really thinks that every call should be going to them and Spurs should get no calls. It’s gotten old already. And yeah, Traore has had some nice runs but as usual he has no finish.

.... OR - your team sucks and got a fluke win thanks to the referee and VAR (as well as Traore not having finish).

Arsenal will be in a relegation fight this season.

Club history is nothing when you’ve got a squad this bad, managed by a rookie and a disinterested owner that couldn’t tell you how many players should be on the pitch.

Haha, that was a definite penalty, despite the protestations of whoever that colour guy was. When the keeper takes the guy out, it's going to be called 100% of the time.

And Traore is exciting and almost does something, a lot! How he didn't capitalize on the breakaway, I'll never understand. but it wasn't a fluke win for Spurs. They could've scored another goal or two pretty easily and other than that Traore chance for Wolves I don't think that you could argue the same.

I cant watch the match yet, but I'm checking the stats and it looks like Arsenal are getting manhandled.

It would be incredible, if only it was at the hands of almost any other opposition.
