Excellent points as always on a Monday Henry. The Dan Burn story is a great one but I think people don’t realise he is actually a very good defender and played well yesterday. He is not just this tall, local boy who worked at Tesco. A great prop it seems.

No sympathy for Allie. What a wasted career for such a talent. Got carried away with the good life and got involved with the wrong people. Will never be the same player again. Hunger has gone. Really poor tackle on Saturday.

Brentford love a set-play coach.

Ange time at Tottenham I think will be up regardless if he wins the Europa League or not. Their league record is a disgrace. 15 defeats already. Shocking.

Bruno Fernandes has been so good for Man Utd. Has carried them. Scores goals and assists and works hard. Imagine if he had some decent forwards to supply not three that go over 20 games without scoring.

Pleased Gibbs-White got called up. Crazy Henderson got the call over him despite being a totally different player. The more time passes the more ridiculous it looks. Doesn’t even play regularly for Ajax. Might be good in the dressing room but England need quality players and good people int he squad not someone who will be 36 come the World Cup.

Delighted for Lampard and the job he is doing. He is a decent manager and seems to suit Championship clubs. Lots of people were expecting him to struggle after taking over from Mark Robins but he has proven them wrong. Hope they can stay in the play-off positions. People should give him more credit. Chelsea job came way to early for him after one season at Derby but will probably never get the chance again so had no option really. Everton was a bit of a disaster but he has probably Leanne a lot from it.

Enjoy the week.

Delighted for The Geordies, great fans that bring a unique energy to English football, can't help thinking of 1970s football annuals featuring Supermac.

Enjoy watching Frank's Coventry more than Chelsea presently, great to see them where they are in the league and that he is earning his stripes again as he should be, given his football intelligence and talent.

Cole needs a rest, Chelsea need a clear out.... how did we ever pay £80mil to £100mil for some of these players when Liverpool paid £50mil for MacAllister.... Mbuemo and Delap are what we need and maybe Thomas Frank.

Spuds at ours next , should be interesting.
