Our new strikers are burying stuff that would have been squandered a year ago.

And £30m in the bank. Brilliant upgrade. Rags think they “won” the window. Haha.

A wonderful performance by City - truly a joy to watch. Haaland is something else and cannot be given any space or he will destroy teams with his finishing. In Alvarez, we have a talent. To grab him for the fee we paid is a fantastic piece of business and he shows work rate, tenacity, pace and finishing ability with either foot - one with the right and an absolute peach with the left. Great to see John Stones back to fitness because he and Dias is the best central defensive combination at the club, in my view. It was an excellent performance and we are off to a quicker start than usual, mainly because we no longer need to be perfect to score. It was a good decision to take Rodri off and also to rest KDB too. Really good signs from Gomez and Lewis and Palmer too. What a night.

Well done to Gabby on another for Arsenal.

Valhalla wills it.

Stones is our best defender when he's in that sort of form. Let's hope he can put a run of games together.

Without any brain farts.

Watching River all Spring I grew to believe Pep would find Julian's attributes addictive.

Yeah. I watched River too and Alvarez work rate was insane.

Look this has to change … we can’t keep calling him a Nordic meat shield !

A shield is a defensive item. A dagger is an attacking item. He’s an attacker not a defender.

So surely(shirley) he should be referred to as the Nordic meat dagger ?

Or does that have a different connotation ?

Hmmm… Thor will do for me.

Stones was simply Rolls Royce.

Haaland = Derek Kevan
Alvarez = Jimmy Murray.
A partnership from our non existent history, though not quite as good as the new one.

Pep will love Haaland and Alverez but you know that Alverez is his favourite
