It’s just shows off his eyes darling.

I've always found it amusing that all you need to do is move one letter and his name becomes Go Wank.

I’d sell him. That black shirt look at the awards dinner was unforgivable.

There's a photo of him with Coutinho and Carlos. Carlos is the only one with a sense of style.

Cropped trousers and no socks with leather shoes? Ha!

Twice we've conceded late goals after he's been substituted (Arsenal and Liverpool). No ideas whether it's correlation or causation but I hope he doesn't go off Sunday.

I think it's the latter, against Liverpool in particular I thought we looked much easier to play through once he went off, because we couldn't drop the tempo and take the sting out of the game. In fairness he looked knackered so I can understand why it was him who was replaced but it definitely weakens us.

It's a strong look if you're trying to say "I'm a dickhead, me"

Shows we need better strength in depth.

Exactly, this is why I think 1-2 more midfielders will come in this summer, we particularly need someone with the same 'cool head' as Doug. I'm not sure that's the role for Guendouzi (who I really want to see come in and seems inevitable to me) so I think he'd be covering McGinn and Ramsey more than Doug/Bouba.

It's all the rage over here. Dreadful

Probably my POTY.

Emery is exactly the manager he needs at this stage of his career to reach the next level.

Loving the responsibility he's now taking for us and chipping in with goals, that late one at Brentford was critical when you look at the final table.

Great today, apart from the free kicks which were woeful.

What a boss this lad is, a Brazilian Dennis Mortimer, a joy to behold

Another player who should now be looking to step up another level next season and become an established quality top flight player.

Ever since he's been with us I've said he runs with the same stride that Dennis Mortimer ran with, and now he's taking on other characteristics.
