To be fair to Simon, this is absolutely spot on. Not often I agree with him and a lot of his stuff is performative nonsense based on whichever way the wind is blowing at the time. But this is 100% correct. Wissa should have got that £26m gentleman’s agreement in writing.

If Newcastle had acted earlier and offered a proper fee for Wissa, a world-class centre-forward with 2 years left on his contract, Brentford would have had time and funds to bring in a suitable replacement. £25m was disrespectful to Brentford, as is £35m. [Wenry Hinter]

Spurs are going to take out their anger on Newcastle by going in for Wissa aren’t they? 😭

It appears clubs are selling footballers to holding companies now. The beautiful game.

If Joe Gomez is fit enough to do 90 minutes, I’d be tempted to start him on Monday, especially as Jeremie went off with a slight injury against Bournemouth. Extra height in the team would be a big help.

Bayern might be having a worse window than Spurs. Big bro-ing them over Wirtz has ruined them.

These days, you get arrested and thrown in jail if mention bacon to a Muslim. These days.

Why are these bozos acting like it’s an unlicensed bare knuckle fight on Monday? What’s he gonna do, concede some free kicks? Oh no.

Disappointed that Frimpong is injured. Partly because seeing him stood next to Leoni in training pictures would have been funny.

Even when mocking a tragedy, they still get it wrong. They are ill.

What a way to out yourself as being on a register 😂
