Mature, thoughtful, ambitious, eloquent. And completely bought into the project and the 'coach'.

KLP no 10?

Thiago also seems to be washbagless. Maybe they leave spare toothbrush and deodorant at the training ground as a contingency for the mornings they come straight-in from clubbing?

Your usually reliable injury tracker suggests otherwise ...

Reminded me of the oil tanker turn and jog through treacle against Wolves last season that enabled their comeback. Good riddance.

The Times replacing him with Samuel was like Chelsea replacing Fernandes with Henderson.

Funnily enough, I didn't find them as irritating as Sunderland.

I had one from an Arsenal colleague: "Wow!"

My favourite player. Ever. So different. So intelligent. Also vulnerable and deserves constant support for trying to do the right thing and never hiding whatever his form or the pain he's in. And have felt the same even on the less good days!

Hoping that Reading was to Dams what Birmingham was to Anthony - an excellent, confidence-building performance against weaker opposition, on which to build immediately afterwards. Hope he starts.

The long orderly queue outside after the game had started were a credit to us. Barely any police ot stewards. Imagine some other clubs with 1000 fans squeezing into so few turnstiles at 8.05pm ...

Taking off your best player, your most popular player and a £40m forward at half time is a real statement. Didn't wait till the dreaded 68th minute and turned the tide. Excellent and proactive.
