What did we say in the morning?
There are some things you say and wish you were wrong. When PSG was 2-1 down our hearts pounded. We wished we didn’t talk about some disappointment for at least a team these days. We wish we didn’t mention the 2-1 jinx. When Neymar was red carded, we thought the spell was already cast. WOW… there was Cavani with the equalizer in the dying minutes. He told us, we are PSG, we make our own destiny. [#Joy&Inspiration] Football is just a beautiful game.

1. We Love Arsenal. Watch their Football sometimes, Love Football more. It was a whole family affair today. Something that seemed like one of those bad days, Rooney started with a wonderful outside the box goal. But Arsenal were just warming up. The family were sharing responsibilities. When they were ready, Monreal was to start the show, Sanchez will provide for Ozil to score; then Ozil provide for Lacazette to score; before Lacazette would make way for Wilshere to come provide for Ramsey; and Sanchez wraps it all off as the boss. Really nice. We loved it.

2. Tottenham impressed too. Many United fans clamoured, this is how United should have played Liverpool. The sting and pain was still there. We just couldn’t talk. We only enjoyed what Harry Kane was doing. Bad guy Harry Kane – 2 goals, 1 assist in a top 6 clash... #Respect. Alli and Son were the other scorers for Tottenham. Salah got the one for Liverpool. We think Salah is the best thing that has happened to Liverpool this season.

3. Did you guys see Juventus? We said it. Champions are back. Even with a red card from the 26th minute; just a 2-1 advantage, they went on to win 6-2, even after Udinese had equalized 2-2. There’s something called believe, confidence, the drive of a Champion. We saw it today.

4. Yeah, Real Madrid did it too… It’s really the return of the Champions. Madrid fans can do a half smile at least; we know it would have been complete if Ronaldo scored. But come on, young Asensio banged from Isco’s disco’s assist; then Benzema provided for the inspiring Marcelo. It was a good game to regain form. The team is coming back. Real didn’t concede this time.

5. AC refused to give us any moment of cheer. Maybe because of Bonucci’s red, but we wanted at least a goal to cheer. Atletico could manage a narrow margin for all 3 points. Sometimes a lone goal is the best.

We don’t just say it when we say we love Football. We so mean it. The way it unfolds, suspends, entertains, we love it. Thank you Footbalgerians for always being there to share with us. We would so love to give the day to Harry Kane, it was a top fixture; but Khedira shun, even as a midfielder, in a rather awkward situation. Sami Khedira of Juventus is our man of the day.
