Lineker's Lugs

24 shots is the official threshold for creativity. I thought everyone knew that.

It basically says Spurs created more and better chances and but for Leitzig would have won. I'd agree with that.

Taken the lead against a North London team. Nothing can possibly go wrong!

This is hilarious!

Normal service has been resumed.

I'm watching it on Now - it's on Sky Sports Football.

I was going to post something similar but my virtual namesake beat me to it! I dislike the Premier League for many reasons beyond VAR, but it's certainly one of the main issues. I used to watch any football going, but in recent years the only PL games I've watched are those involving Leicester. I haven't watched any PL this season and if we do go back up I'll have a genuine dilemma.

A woman won’t be appointed manager of the England men’s team without a track record of success (however that might be measured) in men’s club football. She’d be on a hiding to nothing and would never be put in that position. Hayes is definitely going to USA women.

Every other WSL club was safe the minute Bristol City were promoted. There won't be a relegation battle this year, the only interest will be the top end of the table. The sooner the league expands and has a second relegation spot the better, there will be a lot of meaningless games later in the season.

If you take it as a prophecy of the second half rather than a review of the first it does actually make sense.

Both sides look pretty ropey defensively.

Totally insipid first half but Willie has options off the bench now so was able to improve matters. Rose and Rantala look like they can provide the creativity that Leicester have lacked since being promoted.

Good to Jenny Sugarman heading up the academy. She is an excellent coach who really knows how to develop individual players and establish a positive and welcoming environment. The only drawback is she’s a Liverpool fan, but at least she married into a Leicester supporting family!
