Trent playing like he was out on the piss until the early hours of the morning. #LFC #BouLiv

Still surprised Arsenal aren’t in for him on loan. He could get a dozen goals there between now and the end of the season that would be hugely beneficial for them.

Coleman as Everton manager is brilliant! Hasn’t been a proper player-manager for years. Surely Sligo are due a few quid as an add-on fee here too? Ply 100 games, qualify for Europe, becoming the manager, that kind of thing. www.rte.ie/sport/soccer... #Everton #Coleman

Liverpool behind and that’s all down to Trent. Gave the ball away with a lazy pass out of defence and then didn’t do enough to get back. #LIVMUN

That’s a tough one to take. Ireland will feel they left that one behind and didn’t show the best of themselves in that second leg. They offered so little going forward until they were already 2-0 down. #IrlWal

Anna Patten has been Ireland’s stand out playing over these two legs. If we manage to pull this one back, it’ll be down to her. #IrlWal #IrelandWNT

As Alisson Becker nears a return, what next for Caoimhín Kelleher? Could the Irish international be forcing a rethink into the goalkeeping situation at Anfield? www.rte.ie/sport/soccer... #RTEsport #LiverpoolFC

The duality of Darwin Nunez perfectly summed up by the first 30 minutes against Aston Villa. I don’t think I’ve ever seen another player that reminds me so much as Diego Forlan.

All hail King Ole the Second! It’s going to be hilarious, van Nistelrooy will go on a good run until Christmas, get a three year contract and things will fall apart again before they eventually get in Southgate.

Bluesky feels like a retirement home for people who has Bebo and MySpace.

Even as a short term option, Arsenal should be making enquiries about Lewandowski from Barca. They’re skint enough to accept and he’d do a job at the Emirates for a year at least.

Still hard to see past Man City for the league, given their tendency to going on a big run in the second half of season and getting De Bruyne back, but January could be a very interesting transfer window, especially if Villa give Emery funds.

All the talk about Liverpool missing Salah as he goes off to AFCON is absolutely but they’re going to miss Endo just as much. He’s really slotted into midfield and offered some steel over the last two months. #lfc

Got to say, I didn’t have Scott McTominay becoming United’s new Cantona on my bingo card for this year. #MUNCHE

This is pretty much a dream match-up. So many stone wall classics to dig into.

I think it’s time to finally admit to myself that the Marks and Spencer’s Christmas special lobster rolls are never coming back.

Shane McGowan has left the stage, leaves behind a great legacy of music and a Christmas song that you’ll never get fed up of hearing.
