Everton's defence looks so flaky even Núñez might score in a minute.

Or maybe not...

Nunez is beginning to remind me of Salah at Chelsea. Or De Bruyne at Chelsea. Why did neither succeed there but then became possibly the best in their position in the world.
I've often mused with footy friends how great it would be to be allowed 100% access to the workings of your club.

I think confidence is such a big thing. A bad start and things can spiral very quickly, then starting over at a new club wipes the slate clean and you go again. If Núñez hadn't got sent off v Palace and Haaland had missed that opening penalty at West Ham, roles could easily have been reversed.

I never bought into that "confidence" thing, but perhaps it is a "thing". When I played (at very amateur level) confidence did play a part, but it was fleeting because next week someone would up-end you and you're knackered for a few weeks. No amount of confidence overcomes a crunched ankle.

Reports that Liverpool fans may be compensated over the Champions League fiasco.

PSG v Bayern hopefully be lively tonight and I've picked the right game.

Normally you'd expect a cagey start to a 1st leg last 16 quarter final game of the CL but not sure if either teams knows anything else other than goals.

Burnley just equalised at 94 minutes with the keeper up for a corner. I like Kompany. The lad might just have some magic about him.
Still lost £2 though.

Barca v Man U started with a 15 second bet delay now down to 7

I've noticed that a few times, it sometimes changes mid-match.

Goal for the Lionesses at 40 mins. How many can they get?
Perfect penalty (and completely correct decision too).

Diving header own goal by the Villa keeper (sort of).

....and then Martinelli celebrates his goal before he scores it.

Good win for Arsenal today, especially after the City defeat midweek
