I'm struggling with the cement mixer one, if you put it the right place the ball is sticking, surely? Harsh on Bogarde as well, otherwise bang on.

I dunno - is it that if you chucked a ball at one while it was spinning, you wouldn't know which direction it might bounce off in?

Hence 'the right spot' ie the big gaping hole in the front. The aren't many plant machines that can give you that, Clive.

I thought we would have a very tough week - to win in Turkey and away at Newcastle is remarkable. True genius.

Unai Emery: “Emiliano Buendia’s commitment is massive. He is playing angry to get his best, to compete with the wish of me being proud of him. And I am.”

Unai Emery: "Emi Martinez fantastic, centre-backs fantastic, full-backs fantastic. Amadou fantastic in how he fought today. Ollie Watkins, how he fought against the centre-backs... wow... fantastic. Sancho, Bailey, fantastic."

Unai Emery: "In August, when we didn't win the first five matches, Were you asking me if we are contenders? No!

"We are in a fantastic position, really fantastic. But I prefer to wait until day 35 (to give an answer)."
