    He looks a quality player.
    Quick, skillful and intelligent.

    Not sure anyone would have predicted that result.
    Only seen the highlights, but it was definitely one of those games where one side takes virtually every chance they get.
    A bit of a freak, but Liverpool are looking ominously back to the way they were.

    Klopp said it was a freak result, but the most shocking thing was the behaviour of the Utd players in the second half. They gave up, and the senior players set an appalling example. Fernandes, the captain, was at his petulant worst, refusing to track back and asking to be taken off. I’m pretty sure he pushed a Lino at one stage as well. Shaw started lashing out and tackling recklessly. Martinez and Casemiro disappeared. I suspect the reactions of Keane and Neville will be nothing compared to what ten Hag will say, he was clearly livid, and quite rightly.

    Fernandes is a horrible ****, his attitude stinks. Of the similar ilk to Richarlison, another surly , arrogant maggot !

    In enemy territory tonight at the Bees Fulham game with a neighbour who had a spare ST. Will probably be the only person in the stadium cheering just for my fantasy football players.

    Come on Rico Henry hatrick.

    It's tough to take that Harvey Elliott who played 85 minutes for Liverpool in the Man U thrashing was discovered and signed by QPR and was in our youth academy. He was then stolen as a 15 year old by Fulham before signing for Liverpool a year later. Zero dosh received, or at best a pittance for someone who is playing for an elite premier league team. What's the point of having an academy if your players can be stolen off of you? Didn't Brentford wrap theirs up for this very reason? You develop a good player and they're knicked for **** all. If they're not good enough they don't make it to the first team. Seems like a **** system to me, why bother?

    I can’t see the point of having an academy, but I am nervous about treating children as trade-able property or assets as well, which seems the only way for clubs like us to generate proper income from the system. And you certainly can’t tell them they are not allowed to change clubs or make them sign contracts.

    Brentford have now re established an academy, forced into it by PL rules I think.

    I believe the rules are what is known as ‘not fit for purpose’. As said before, the EFL and clubs need to make a stand on the pittance that are paid when an academy players is ‘groomed’ by another club to sign with them. No problem with an academy player having a fantastic opportunity, but the club that puts time, effort and money into developing them deserves a fair compensation.

    EPL clubs are scamming EFL clubs out of players for less than peanuts. EFL where are you?

    After all it would be helping clubs to be that more sustainable.

    Back in Florida after our wedding trip to California, great road trip, great visits to New Orleans, on way home after Mardi Gras (so no boobs for beads!), USS Alabama Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama (last US battleship built, last retired in 1965, sank 15 Japanese ships in Pacific War, sister ship to USS Missouri where Japanese surrender was signed and UUS Arizona which was sunk at Pearl Harbour and turtled drowning hundreds of sailors and ship is their grave), Flagstaff, Arizona at 7,000 feet with snow everywhere, but we got in and out before huge snowstorm, Mojave Desert where I got a speeding ticket at 98 MPH in a 2015 Honda CRV AWD with beautifully balanced Michelin tires and no shake, was in 70 MPH zone, with cruise set at 80 MPH, and had just passed two idiots with cruise set at 70 MPH travelling in the fast lane and not wanting to move over. Unfortunately our Waze had lost connection so didn't know that the cop was just in front of a transport truck that I also overtook in that move. Now in Texas the speed limit on I-10 is 80 MPH and get a ticket is you drive less than 70 MPH.

    Now back to football, just watched our 3-1 home loss to Blackburn Rovers on ESPN, and thought we did okay against a strong in form squad. With that kind of effort I think we can beat Watford on Saturday with a bit of luck on our side, scoring the first goal etc. Goodnight all!

    Some very unhappy Parisians last night. They just couldn't get Mbappe more involved in the game, and I'm sad to say it, but having watched Messi twice in the past few weeks, once in person once on TV, he just doesn't look that interested anymore. Happy to play with the ball at his feet but very little chasing the ball down to win it back.
