11-man Liverpool have not conceded a Premier League goal for 352 minutes. Only a penalty in the last 398.

Funny how the commentary team have been able to hear the Kop any time it makes any noise about Guilty of 114 Charges FC players being cheats, but they all go deaf when there’s been repeated tragedy chanting.

Liverpool were missing their top scorer from this season, their current top scorer for the club and their reigning player of the season. For an an hour they were the better side. Munoz continues to impress. Plenty to build on. Up the Reds.

Hard to devise a better metaphor for the past decade and a half of Premier League football than Man City winning while playing with an extra man.

It's watching like Top Gear do a review of Pablo Escobar's lovely fleet of cars.

As disappointed as I am, this is probably the perfect result to sum up the sorry state of the Premier League as it stands. We’re watching a sham. The cheats still prosper.

Well played, Lewis. Top effort.

Liverpool just gone after the sending-off. The system they were playing was so effective that you didn't notice they had so many first-teamers missing, but the man-to-man nature of it meant the red card did for them.

I’m glad this game won’t count eventually.

Quarter of the game gone. One shot. Nine fouls.

If Gravenberch is song, all is well.

There's always money in the banana stand

Ronnie the Red is ready, really up for this and hopefully not too reckless.

Manchester United have a -2 goal difference this season while playing WITH A MAN ADVANTAGE.

Only 0-0 would have been a more appropriate result in the bald men comb fight derby

So, happy 89th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians—and someone concussed him with a brick

Expected goals are being squandered in the Premier League. 14 teams have scored fewer than their xG this season. Small sample weirdness? Maybe. But who the chances are falling to is very relevant. My latest for @sport.theguardian.com:

The Premier League so far: draws, underperforming xG and other data pointers

Goal averages are crumbling as players take fewer touches in the box and once-reliable forwards underperform against xG

Important piece this. Makes the point that Man City is a relatively small part of Abu Dhabi's extensive entanglements in UK life, and that they'll drop Man City if they have to. Manchester has become more dependent on Abu Dhabj than Abu Dhabi is of Manchester

Not that you can rewrite history but *if* Man City’s results were expunged from 2010-11, Holloway’s Blackpool would have stayed up rather than gone down.

As ever, and for the last time in connection with lying shit Jeffrey Archer, we remember Monica Coghlan, whose life he destroyed.
