Yes I had to leave the room at 3-1 and mute the sound. Finally crawled out from behind the setee and asked the wife to update me. When she said it's 3-2, I howled like a banshee and ran upstairs until she gingerly suggested that the coast was clear. Phew!

Described this nerve-shredding match as an 'agreeably fevered north Londonย derby.' Ever the master of the under-statement but maybe a little too 'fevered' for some of us.

goal looks even better on MOTD. Kills it without breaking stride, cuts inside, and casually passes it into the net. How often has he done that? Signature move at this stage. Brilliant!

Great show and props to Mike Hanrahan & Pat Shortt. Who knew Pat was such a talented musician? Great choice of songs too.

What's the most annoying of Trump's verbal tics? For me, it's definitely 'everybody knows' which is a lame attempt to assert universal assent.

On The Manchester United industrial-complex. 'This is a club that has basically stopped over the last 10 years. Itโ€™s a haunted house, a ghost ship peopled by zombies, noises through the wall, a place where the past constantly devours the present.' Yep!

โ‚ฌ30m for a great player while Chelsea have been paying outlandish sums for unproven mediocrities. Chelsea and Man U are among the very worst recruiters in recent years. The revolving door just keeps on spinning. More money than sense, as my Gran used to say.

Brighton keeper is tempting fate big time with his fannying around in his own box. Ach, another goal for City. This could get ugly.

How we've missed Thomas Partey this season. The way he's able to break lines and get you on the front foot with a first time pass, a dummy or the drop of a shoulder and the freedom that gives Rice to venture further forward is a game changer. He's been such a huge miss.
