Don't make me get out my tallywhacker to show I predicted it

Oh Harry, you lovable chode you.

How bad was MOTD2 last night?

Extremely awkward viewing, especially when Phil Brown started to talk about how he had been spending his time in the company of some kind of "life-coach".

Only thing more uncomfortable was when he seemed to put himself forward for the Villa job.

@John Ashdown

What do you think of the promoted sides Millwall, Leeds and Norwich all starting the Championship season so well?

Anyone get the feeling tomorrow will probably be the worst transfer deadline day ever?

Lets all laugh at Spurs.

Ha ha. Ha ha.

By the way, Jack Wilshere is innocent, so Jack Wilshere continues to Rule.

Mikael Silvestre has signed for Werder Bremen.

So was it being a "fuckin' football manager" when 'Arry lost to Wigan?

The reporter sounded so crushd when 'arry swore at him.

Probably went home to hav a cry.

Inzaghi eh.. He can play on till he's 40. Van the man is also still doing it.

Milan for Serie A. Zlatan is the luckiest of lucky charm.

I don't care what happened at Barcelona, he's still awesome.

There are alot of letters missing in my post for some reason,

"Oh no...Harry dearest...I didn't mean it like that..."

err phil brown
kill it with fire

disappointed the pod didn't, y'know, talk about other lliga matches beyond mallorca/reial. barca against racing with three magnificent goals from messi, iniesta and villa surely merited some discussion? valencia without the davids look strong in attack anyway? sevilla win with konko doing a dani alves impression? fernando llorente? etc.

that harry video is hilarious. he's such a bitch.

@coltrane27;

Hypocrisy is clearly an essential quality for any football manager.

Thus, it was great to see that after Wenger's criticism of Stoke for playing rugby, Marouane Chamakh took it on himself to personally hold down Christopher Samba.

CLASSIC wenger, no?

I mean all football managers do it, but he's the master.

Sack Mourinho.

For all the Real Madrid haters, please don't get ahead of yourselves.Its just the first day of the season.Madrid will be back.All you haters are gonna be sitting down fighting back tears as Real will crush Manu,Milan,Barca and whichever team that we face.Maurinho has got the numbers on you fellas.When the big games come, we gonna win em all.Champions League triumph an absolute certainty in the next two years. WE GOT JOSE , SO NO ONE CAN TOUCH US!!!!

can someone put that drivelling ant back in its matchbox?

Haha, the dismissive hand, the sky guy grovelling. Brilliant stuff.

When willl the goalkeeping merrry-go-round start and stop.

RIGHT NOW it looks like Given is going to stay at Man City, which will mean Scwarzer looks likely to stay at Fulham and so Almunia looks destined to stay Arsenal's number 1.

Unless a last second move for Ajax Stekelenburg who has stated he's not interested since they have reached the CL group stage.

Wenger been playing a funny game aint he all because he wont pay £4m for one the European football's top keepers.

Thank god Glendenning's not on this pod - he probably exploded in a cloud of smugness after Spurs' result on Saturday. We were shocking mind you, Dawson is starting to worry me in defence and we played as if we were kids who had watched The Exorcist the night before and were so scared by it they couldn't do a thing by the time the match came around.

Except Mallorca, a club which has no money whatsoever, was denied entry into European competition because they've placed themselves in administration, and sold its two best players (as usual) over the summer, that is, of course.

Please clarify the statement
"Honifstein off to Austria .... thanks for all your contributions!"

Does this mean he is leaving the Guardian or what?

For those without the patience to listen, care to elaborate?

Its the first game and he's still experimenting.When you sign so many players its only logical that they will take time to gel.Plus, unlike at Chelsea and Inter where he started off well,at Real he has an embarrassment of riches. The fact that Caneles started ahead of Ozil speaks volumes about the boy. At Chelsea he knew the core of the team , Cech,Terry,Carvalho,Gallas,Lampard,Makalele,Drogba et al...At Real its definitely going to take time, but results will be evident soon enough.A pragmatic start may be on the cards but by the end of the season aided by the return of Kaka, this team will be challenging on all fronts...
Credits to Mallorca, or Laudrup rather...More or less expected this having seen his managerial exploits with Getafe two years back...He is going to be a great manager, Laudrup.

happygoth,

The bizarre thing about it is that his team's supporters don't actually notice. "A card sharp in a professor's gown".

Notice what?

;)

moBbad,

CLASSIC wenger, no?

I mean all football managers do it, but he's the master.

If he wins the title again I'd prefer to call him the master for that reason than for hypocrisy!

Also agree that it's ridiculous to have a La Liga round-up with so little mention of other clubs. I thought the Valencia performance was worthy of mention, specifically regarding a player that now has a chance to prove himself a more consistent performer in Joaquin plus their new signings. Bit too much talk of the politics behind the scene which is clearly a mess but that seems a constant, not worthy of discussion every week at the expense of discussion of actual matches.
