Richarlison surely has acheived something amazing already this season - the award for the ugliest, most hideous tattoo on display in the premiership, surpassing even the neck of Man City's Ederson.
The neck thing? Have you seen his back?

Imagine getting a tattoo of your teamate on your back. Past legends, sure. But current teamates? Neymer must cringe everytime he takes his top off after a goal that will most likely get ruled out for offside.
Joking aside, I like Richarlison the person. His antics on the pitch are the polar opposite to the awkward, overly sensitive selfless personality off of it. You grasp this side of him in the interviews.
Richarlison's work off the field (is a Google) will far exceed any work he does on it. Wish he would start getting a goal or two in mind.

Trying to keep my ever increasing optimism that we're going to win everything this year toned down a little.
Obviously wasn't talking about that silly mickey mouse cup. I meant we're winning both the major ones on offer.
Bloody ridiculous from Ange though. His first act causing disgruntlement. 9 changes from our in form first 11. The B team basically. Now we're the first prem team to 'bottle a trophy' this year. In August.
35 year old Fraser Forster on for penalties was a sight to behold.

Looks like Spurs are not missing Harry Kane as much as many thought - Son grabs a hat trick in their 5-2 win against Burnley!! Elsewhere, Chelsea continue their woeful start, losing 1-0 against Forest and City thumping Fulham 5-1.

And it was quite a game to watch! Full of attacking intent and hugely entertaining. This quick passing, pressing game can leave us a bit vulnerable in defence sometimes, and I dare say we'll be more severely tested at some point, but it's certainly not boring. We now have a manager who doesn't think he's doing us a favour by being at Spurs.
^ They're unbelievably disjointed at the moment. No style of play that Poch can imprint yet. Nobody knows each other, such is the incoming/outgoing roller-coaster. A team bought on outrageous fees, with silly salaries to boot. On the topic of salaries... I don't look at them much but when I do I'm always surprised.
Tottenham's highest paid player - Ndombele (225k).
Chelsea - Romelu Lukaku (325k)
Manchester United - Sancho (350k)
Arsenal - Havertz (280k)
Manchester City - De Bruyne (400k)
Liverpool - Salah (350k)
City and Pool only ones not looking daft here.
Spurs salaries still very low compared to the others. In keeping with the wage structure of thrifty Levy. Richarlison is 'only' on 90k. Jesus is considered his 'back up' for Brazil. Jesus pulls in 265k a week at the Arse.

At the moment, I'd say Richarlison should consider himself lucky to get that. I assume you didn't see today's amazing Spurs game, as you appear to be more interested in Chelsea's misfortune...
Chelsea were woeful yesterday from start to finish. They didnt seem up for it. I thought we had turned a corner. We should have beaten Liverpool and how we conspired to lose against West Ham is still a mystery. We beat the lowly Luton, and I expected more of the same against Forest.
But we were disjointed from the start and it scares me silly that Potch might be another tinkerman, especially in how he uses Gallagher, who has been, in my opinion, our best player so far, but never seems to play the same role twice. And it felt like desperation rather than strategy, when so many subs were being made. It didn't really help.
Jackson is raw, but has been impressive, but yesterday he was out of sorts, he always gives 100%, but yesterday, everything else was missing, Sterling seemed out of sorts, or was forcifully subdued, and so it went on.
But our star man from Brighton cost us the goal yesterday, as he did against West Ham, in a mix up with Gallagher, and that comes from constantly messing with Gallaghers role as well as the player himself being unfamiliar, as yet, with his team mates.
Poch has to settle on a best 11 tactically and with players. In some positions (defence, Colwill) that has been sorted, but at the pointy, attacking bit, he still seems to be searching. And of course, it's not helped by all the new arrivals and the fact they are all so young and inexperienced, especially in the premiership.
Hansen once said ' you don't win anythiing with kids' but he didn't factor in that those kids were exceptional and had been playing together for a few years, and that showed. That's what we're missing.
United have spent something like half a billion in transfers in the last 2 years. Their current defence is Maguire, Dalot, Wan-Bissaka, and 35 year old Jonny Evans.
I mean, I know they've no money anymore and desperately need a sale (or £2 billion cash investment) but...
Crikey.
