    Just cut out junk. Believe me, you can addict yourself to healthy food just as earnestly as junk, if you stick at it. It's a virtuous circle. It just takes longer to get going. 5ajevit personally, imagine somebody you don't like said you can't do it. You'll do it.

    He's only been there a minute and already a bust.
    An Ian Rush dash back to the Prem next Summer?
    Seriously though, I do think he has been overhyped a little bit by the UK football press, is he really at the very top tier, comparable to say Lewandoski?

    I think Kane is clearly an elite player, I think it's beyond question tbh. Consistent high scorer in the Prem and for England. Does it on the biggest stage at international level too.

    We'll have a better idea of how he compares to Lewandoski in 9 months. An interesting thing about Kane is that he's consistently over performed his xg year after year & he's pretty much the only guy to do so over such a long period other than Messi. So he's he's an elite, elite finisher/striker of a ball if nothing else. Could be that when you put him in a more dominant side like Bayern you get a 40, 50 goal player.

    Same. I rip on him for his lack of trophies but I rate him highly as a player and he seems like a decent dude too, so I wish him well.

    There was a clip doing the rounds on Twitter yesterday where he ran over with the Bayern players to remonstrate with the referee after the penalty was awarded against them, and then he realised at the last second that he doesn't speak German :Jest:

    Rebekas heavily pregs and hid the scales not to depress herself so there's just been a bit of a drift. I was about 185 when we met and i was 190 when i pulled the scales out yesterday morn so nothing too drastic but time for a wee course correction

    Holy shit I missed a lot in football. Didn't realize until today that the Saudis took Jota from Celtic. Farewall, Jota.

    Genuinely sad to see him go, not only a lovely player but a lovely lad, pretty much the antithesis of the sulky, up-his-own arse modern footballer

    Sky sports was down in the pub i went to so i ended up having to watch it on a youtube link with a big popup blocking half the screen

    All the system-cohesion we've been used to the last two years is missing so far - not controlling games, giving away chances. But the thing most fans are probably grumbling about is Hatate being dropped. Most think he's red hot shit. They think he's gonna end up at a money club. I think he's a highlight reel player who gives it away far too much, gives you almost nothing defensively & actually doesn't produce nearly enough final product: seems Rodgers agrees.

    Newcastle looked brilliant in thrashing Villa. But didn't they hammer them last season early on? Tonoli is an excellent signing. Great vision, instincts. Just a very good footballer.

    Bees-Spurs was good. End to end. Spurs have to rely on Richarlison. Deary me. Good luck.

    I know it sounds daft but I think Postecoglou will be glad Kane is gone, Ange is rigid with his system & Kane wouldn't do the things he wants from a striker

    It's like Gerrard at Liverpool. Too good to ignore not good enough to rely on.

    If Chelsea continue to play like this, they're going to be a handful for most teams. They look fit, aggressive, fast, showing purpose and passing well all over the pitch. Their finishing needs to improve though. But after that is all said, I hope they have another disappointing season.

    I can't see either team as challenging, that might change if Chelsea bag their midfield transfer targets

    Getting fucking tired of Keane now. Guy demanding all sorts of good behaviour having engaged in very little of it in his own time....
