What's good boys and girls? Two foot of extra today is Thursday. September 10th. Hope you're well. Let's catch up on last night's games. In the EFL Cup, we got a bit of a crazy game as Chelsea beat leads by six goals to three. My helmet, which put leads one up on 23 minutes with a really nice header after two great saves from Mike Pender. Brandon Aronson made it 2-0 on 48 after good work by...
I can't think of his name. He plays defensive midfield. He is the captain. What is his name? Ethan Ampad, she's that's terrible. I'm very old. Ethan Ampad, who great work down the right. Good cut back. Nice little flick by Nymetcher. Just a subtle little touch. Put it perfectly in Aronson's path. Great goal. Chelsea roared back. Soft penalty on 53 if we're being honest. It's it's soft. It's Dan James on Chevaria. I think it's a really soft penalty call Palmer dispatches. Palmer again on 55 nice little flick by Morgan Rogers. That's Morgan Rogers first assist of the night. He gets his second assist five minutes later. It's a bad pass by Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers basically has to slide tackle to win the ball back and give it to Netto who finishes well.
It's a hat trick of assists for Rogers on 65 as Danny Welbeck scores his first goal for Chelsea. It's another assist for Morgan Rogers on 80 as Valentin Barco gets his first goal. And then Danny Welbeck wrapped it up on 94. So four assists on the night for Morgan Rogers. Six three for Chelsea and they move on. Champions League last nice. Barcelona five. Fine or one. Rafinha got two Adiyami Yamal and Gabriel Jesus. Seventeen scored the only goal for fine ored. Comfortable. Comfortable win for Barcelona. Stuttgart three Viking one. Demaravitch with a hat trick. Viking actually equalized after the first goal with Zlatko Tripic scoring but Demaravitch scored. That was he scored 20. They scored 22.
He scored 26 and 32 and it was basically game over at that point. Napoli Nile Arsenal won Arsenal 25 shots. Nine on target. Lots of XG but lots of you know low XG shots. Oldie Gardner an absolute world he on 75 just a stunning strike. Oh unbelievable strike. Nearly ripped the net off. Fair play to the fell he started the season very well. Liverpool two at let it come and dread one. Lorente puts it let he ahead. Sub-ozla equalizes McHale's to get the winner. Lurical deserving winners on the night. Sporting three Galatasaray won. Inassio put through his own net to make it 1-0 Galatasaray. But then Catamo, Suarez and Salazar. Gave sporting a three-one win that they'll be very happy about. Finally then from last night PSG 6. Slovak and Bratislava won. So Usman Dembele on 17.
Usman Dembele on 23. Ferrant Torres on 31. Ferrant Torres on 47. And Ferrant Torres on 57. Suleman Camara had the unmitigated goal to score a goal for PS for Slovak against PSG. On 59 and Fabian Ruiz made it 6-1 to have it even more infatic. On 88 PSG away we go. Tonight, Fenerbahce Roma is underway. It's currently Nil Nil. In the other early kickoff it's PSV against Shakta and it is also underway. The other games don't really interest me. I have to be honest. Bayern against Bodo Glimt, Slavje Prague against Lones, Manchester United against Sabah. And then the only game I will watch is Carmo Leipzig, which I think could be good. I think SESC is just a very interesting watch. So yeah, there you go.
Not ideal, but that's the games we have. Should Chelsea be stripped of the 16-17 title? I don't think he can. I think so. Parchatino has come out and said, well, they've admitted they broke the rules. That Premier League title should be given to the team to finish second. Spurs finish second under him. If you're going to strip it, you leave it vacant. You can't hand it retrospectively to Spurs 10 years after the fact. I'm sorry. Noah Okafores says he won't play for Switzerland again while Mure Yachen is the manager. I don't really think they'll care. You're not that good. That's my, my, my, just my thought on it. I just don't think you're that good. Don Cast a manager, Grant McCann, has revealed he was diagnosed with skin cancer last year. So he has a malignant melanoma
and he said he is okay now. So that's good news. And hopefully he has beaten that and is going to be okay. I like Grant McCann. He's a good manager. I've seen your furious over account of Biliac incident. So Christian Biliac, the port now, port's mid player, has gotten himself in some, some bother. He had an incident after a game. He was involved in a physical alter, well, during the game, he was involved in a physical altercation. When he went to retrieve the ball and it's just, it's all got a little bit ugly and I'm just going to wait and see what comes of that. Arsenal are passing every test in order, God is in the form of his life. He's not in the form of his life. He's better a couple of years ago, but he's playing very, very well. Arsenal are finalizing a new contract from Ikelar Teta.
Okay. So we'll be subjected to more shit football for years to come. Anthony Gordon is a better fit for Barista than Marcus Rashford says Deco. Well, of course, he's going to say that. He probably is like for the manager they have, he probably is, but overall, he's still not as good as Rashford, even this version of Rashford, who is compromised compared to what he was. It's still a better footballer than Anthony Gordon will ever be. Anthony Gordon's very limited player, but his pace still has given a lot of advantages, especially in a league that's fairly terrible defensively. We'll go to break. We'll come back with the gossip. Before the season, even kick soft soccer fans are already making predictions. Who wins the league? Who qualifies for Europe? And who's lifting the trophy at seasons end?

David Alba is a potential target for a club America of Mexico after he left Real Madrid. Athleticum Madrid are not planning to sell Alex Baena anytime soon despite interest in Man City. That's probably true, but football insider wouldn't know. Manchester United and Tottenham Bolt had representatives in Belgium on Tuesday to watch Club Bruges German striker, Nicolo Tresoli. Again, may well be true, but team talks certainly wouldn't know. Liverpool have plans to sign another midfielder which could push Alex's mechalester further down the pecking order at Anfield. He's the number one midfielder at the club right now.
So how would he go further down the pecking order? You imbecile and it is talk sport and we should be clear talk sport no longer have any insight at Liverpool because the people that were feeding them information have now all gone to Saudi. After failing to sign Manu Kone in the summer, Chelsea could go back for him in January in a deal that could involve Jamie Gitton's heading the opposite way. Karu Metalma's future brightness in the balance, he's had a contract next summer and he could go in January. Brighton again team talk wouldn't know if this was true. Simon Phillips wouldn't know the bit about Manu. Well, Simon Phillips might, he's actually not too bad. Brighton are confident about Yasin Iari and the new contract again team talk wouldn't know the Sandra Martinez will be offered a new contract if he can stay injury fit and has free and has a new season. I mean again it's football insider it's garbage who cares. This is brilliant. Lewis Hall's just signed a new contract.
Newcastle could still sell Lewis Hall next summer despite him signing a new contract. I mean again it is talk sport. So who knows if he pushes to go sure I just don't think it'll be united. I think there'll be other clubs that'll jump them in the queue. That's enough from me. Bye bye. Nationwide is so much more than a great insurance company. They're one of America's largest financial services companies just like I'm so much more than quarterback Peyton Manning. I'm also Peyton Manning. Insurance and financial services together.
