Honestly, my expectations are so low I can see that I will be pleasantly surprised by some early performances before the true reality sets in after a couple of months and we are deep in the slog of a relegation battle.

Clear run at Jordan Ayew now.

One element of Cooper’s career I like is his youth coaching. Maybe someone to unlock the academy a bit more?

I don’t think he is necessarily asking for a load of money to strengthen the squad - just some transparency about where we are and what we can do. Its clear Sensi was about to join until the last minute and there is no way the club would have briefed him that yeah we might get a load of points deducted and a transfer embargo because we are inept.

Back at 2am, up at 6. CHAMPIONS AGAIN OLE OLE ringing in my ears… I love football.

Ironic cheers were good as they actually started hitting the pass afterwards having been allergic to it for weeks.

More interested in Norwich being 4/1 to win on Monday. That seems insane.

Management of resources will be interesting over the next few games. My preference would be to pick what you think is your strongest and fittest possible side for Saturday and get it won and reassess on tuesday.

Superb. Engine is unreal, looked fitter than the subs on both teams.

Would be funny if after some of the horror shows we’ve had there in recent years we rock up with the under 18s and win. We won’t and it’s disappointing we won’t be giving it a proper go but understandable.

We’ll get punished for mistakes more but also more teams will press higher and we can play around to create more chances. Will be some painful goals conceded but hopefully some lovely goals scored like the second at Watford!

3-0 win. Second gear. Mavididi, KDH and Daka. Stadium Atmosphere thread hot.

Best first touch I have ever seen - Leicester or otherwise.

Remember Sir Alex calling Kante the best player in the country in like December?

Score first and we dictate the game and win. I do fear them on the transition and Ndidi’s energy and physicality will be a miss but still fancy us. 2-0 (Fatawu, KDH)
