Spurs were always gonna pour forward in that position, with nothing to lose and Barcelona aren't geared up to protect a lead. So fair play to Spurs for keeping at it. But tonight has to be about Messi, who was just brilliant tonight, even by his standards. I don't think Barcelona are a great team right now but Messi could've easily scored 4 on his own. One of those nights where he was unplayable. |

Of course I, like a moron, decided to watch the utd game yesterday and forgo any of today's games.
Messi was having of those next level games today then?

It really was. Rakitic's goal was the best of the 4 but Messi's performance all round was just brilliant. A 90 minute showreel. |

Yes, definitely.
For all his notoriety, one of the things I love about Suarez is he's actually a very unselfish player. Even when he was at Liverpool, alongside Sturridge, although he scored a shit load of goals he never went for personal glory if he saw a better option. His desire to win means he'll cross any line he has to, but he's absolutely about the team rather than himself. |

Last Prem weekend before another dreaded International break.
West Ham v Brighton tonight, which I imagine will only be of interest to me, while MU v Newcastle in the late kickoff (5.30 GMT) tiomorrow will appeal to the ambulance chances. The biggie, though, will obviously be on Sunday (4.30 GMT), when MC play Liverpool. |

Brighton 1-0 West Ham (HT)
WH started well but Brighton grabbed one then improved up to the break. They're defending well and WH just can't break them down. WH haven't got the zip they had in the last few games. |

WH weren't great tonight but Brighton bring nothing to the Prem and just got lucky tonight. Bunch of journeymen. Hope they go down.

More frustrated than anything. Should've won on the strength of chances and just overall quality, but sometimes you can just tell you're not gonna score, no matter what. Note to self: avoid watching any game Brighton are involved in. They're about as exciting as a cup of cold tea. |

But I thought Chris Hughton was EVERYONE'S favourite manager!
Actually baffled when people say that. Cos he's a nice guy everyone should like him? Nah.

I actually grew up around the corner from Chris Hughton. He is a nice bloke but his teams are your usual Allardyce/Pulis-style sloggers.
The problem for WH is they've done well against teams willing to come out and play but can't break down teams like Brighton who just sit back in the hope they might nick something. |

Watched Leicester v Everton
Tight game but worldy from Siggurdson. Keep him and Richarlison fit and Everton have nothing to worry about this season https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i5uBKoI-TY -- Now for the Man U soap opera |
