Harry Kane form
Harry Kane is the best center forward in English football history, full stop. He is the most complete striker on the planet and has been for quite a few seasons. He's a better striker than Kylian Mbappé.
AFCON controversy
Senegal should have been kicked off the pitch. When they left the pitch, they basically forfeited the game. It is one of the most shameful episodes in the recent history of that great confederation.
Newcastle United recruitment
Johan Wisse and Nick Voltamada, who cost them a fortune last summer, did not play a minute between them over two legs of this tie. That is a damning indictment of their transfer policy.
Harry Kane legacy
I don't know any football fan who doesn't think Harry Kane is brilliant, but it's a fact he doesn't deliver in the big games—semi-finals, finals. He hasn't yet.
Newcastle vs Sunderland
I have a feeling Sunderland will win this. If they do, that would be a hammer blow for Newcastle's hopes of getting a European qualification next season.
Champions League analysis
It was naive to try to beat Barcelona at their own game, but it made for a fantastic watch. Ultimately they ran out of gas and Barcelona turned it on in the second half.
Champions League predictions
I do think that if Barcelona were to meet Arsenal in the semi-finals, they would have big, big, big problems. I don't think they're as brilliant as that.
If Arsenal were to go out to Sporting, it wouldn't be a shock; that would be a catastrophe and would have a huge impact on everything else.
Refereeing standards
I don't want to go all Fabian Hürzeler, but I think that the officiating at corners is a joke now. You're just allowed to do NFL-style blocking, and it's quite an easy route to goal.
Carabao Cup final
Many people who wish Arsenal well will think of this League Cup final not just about the trophy, but about momentum, which is really sad when you think that a trophy that many other clubs would dearly like to win.
