Manchester City demolished Huddersfield 6-1 and it included a Sergio Aguero hat-trick. But rather than talking about the performance it seems all anyone cares about is how it's impacting their fantasy football team.

Never mind Guardiola and co, just recreate this scoreline in October when everyone's got bored and given up.
3) Too little, too late
You're playing for one of the biggest teams in the world and achieving your childhood dreams. But, on the other hand, it is past your bedtime.

4) Excuses, excuses
Bored with the same old excuses being wheeled out? Who wants to hear someone claim their team was outplayed or outclassed. No, that's boring. Here's a new one for Manchester United to use following their defeat by Brighton.

3-2. 3-2. Arsenal and Man Utd were probably not thrilled with losing by the same amount. Still, nice to know someone's going through the same experience as you.
7) It's just a phrase
This is a must-win game for Jermaine Pennant, he'll be a top, top, player. Will he be sent to the stands for bad behaviour? Erm, something else to do with a goalline scramble.

10) A tale of two Kanes
He finally broke his summer curse and scored in August. People were thrilled.
And yet 'doing a Kane' isn't necessarily seen as a good thing.
