Assou-ekotto off to qpr on loan, were some whispers that we put the thumb screws onto 'Arry that if he wanted young Tom Carroll on loan, they had to take assos-ekotto. Not sure if true as I'm not sure if Carroll has gone to QPR on loan, but interesting if it is, for the simple fact that 'Arry never wanted to play the youngsters when he was at Spurs, but now he's away he wants them all on loan... Weird!

@jonny, Chadli looked interesting, showed some flashes of inspiration, but flitted in and out of the game, most of the play went down Townsends side. Capoue was looking promisingly solid. Neat, tidy, aggressive and giving us no drop off from Sandro's performances before he did his ACL last season. So now Sandro gets the chance to restake his claim and Capoue when he returns from injury will pressure him for a starting place..

Jonny still super stoked about this season, want to see Lamela show what he can do, the competition between holtby and ericksen for a starting place as our creative fulcrum behind Soldado, Kaboul taking a starting role next to verthongen and making some surgin runs forward. Us becoming not just hard to beat but also difficult to defend against.

No. He just got you into the champions league. Best two seasons you have had since black and white tele. Managers are paid to deliver results not read the guardian.
