“You think set pieces are your ally? You merely adopted the corner flag. I was born under it. Moulded by it” – Dyche, probably.
This would be a novel approach.
Maybe Arsenal should get an open play coach

Things are falling apart at Wolves. Last week Mario Lemina had a go at his teammates. This week, following defeat to Ipswich Town, Rayan Ait-Nouri received a red card after the full-time whistle and had to be dragged down the tunnel by Craig Dawson.

This would surely be the most Brighton signing of all time.
Brighton were linked with Kevin Mier in the summer. A goalkeeper who plays more like a libero. Get this man and his chaotic energy to the Premier League immediatelypic.twitter.com/Q4iFupPJy1
