Athletic Bilbao for me please

Got to fancy United at home to win The Marouane Fellaini Invitational.

Humble Pie?

God, I hope not. Always you isn't it. You are just the kind of team that could end our winning run as well. Sit back, defend, frustrate and get a goal out of nowhere. Lost the last three against you as well. That said, it's the first time you play us under Bielsa so will be interesting to see how you handle that. Big opportunity for us tomorrow. Home game, winnable and some interesting fixtures for those around us. Fingers crossed, we got to be better than against Hull.

I would still consider Brentford a threat. Remember, we were about 10 or 12 points clear of Sheff Utd at one stage last season and they eventually pipped us.

If I was Everton, I'd be inclined to go for either Arteta (if you wanted to take a left field punt on someone up and coming, for the future), or Benitez (experienced, ideal for the hear and now and very much a connection with the city and left the door open Monday judging by his comments)

As much as I love the kid, this isn't Football Manager.

IT 2 I don't really understand why this film lasted 169 mins when the two part series from the 90's lasted a total of 192 mins? Was that extra time really sufficient in retelling the story? I don't know. I also feel the use of humour throughout this and the first one deliberately took away any of the scare factors. It felt more like a 'Stranger Things' vibe than the psycho/horror/thriller of the Mini Series. Overall, pretty disappointed. That said, the actor playing Pennywise did a good job with what he was given, but Tim Curry's version still wins out for me.

To try and stealthily make it through another year avoiding the talk of marriage or babies.

Stuck on two. Jack Wilshere v Norwich - Because Arsenal had been trying nearly 10 years to walk the ball in the net and after much frustration, finally scored the perfect goal. Andros Townsend v City - Look, there were some great volleys. But as someone that has played a bit, that technically was a ridiculous volley to get his leg over and hit at the height the ball was, let alone keep it down with that much power. Immense.

Hull have absolutely chucked that game away tonight. Should have took their chances. Not going to lie, we were rubbish. I'm not going to be too sorry because we have been mugged ourselves this year but we got lucky tonight. Guess that happens when you are near the top. Ok, first half wasn't so bad. We'd get in behind the defence, pull it back straight to a Hull player. Created two openings but poor finishing. Second half, we went to pot and looked a bit desperate. Misplaced passes all over the shop. Poor touches and control on the ball. We struggled to create anything, and Hull sensed the game was there for the taking. They blew some big chances if truth is told but credit must go also to Kiko Casilla for pulling off two big saves at critical moments. The OG was cruel for Hull. 2nd was a blistering counter attack that they were punished for. Hats off to Stuart 'Can't trap a ball' Dallas. Kept Jarrod Bowen quiet all game. Top marks. 7th straight win, clean sheet again and now 11pts clear of third. It feels like the stars are finally aligning but we'll see.

West Ham just cannot get on with that stadium. It just doesn't seem to suit them. I don't know what it is exactly but it feels like they have sold their soul at the expense of trying to increase profit. Used to be one of the hardest places to go Upton Park. Especially for a night game. The fans do not have an effect on the atmosphere whatsoever now. Seats are too far away from the pitch and I think the players find it hard to feed off the crowd. Pellegrini is in the danger zone. Just a question of when they push the big red eject button now.

Yes he is but I think Hull have a right to activate another year. @The Artful Dodger will correct me if I'm wrong here. Should not be in this division. Full stop. Going to be hot property in January I feel. I think he could have the same impact as James Maddison for someone up there. Wish we could have him but realistically we can't afford him. Only chance would be in the summer if we went up. I'm sure we'd go for him then.

Everyone's circumstances are different, but if there is nothing stopping you from getting out there, you totally should. No regrets mate. You work hard enough in life, I'm sure you and Mrs BW deserve it, go and embrace it.
