Full time: Barcelona 0-1 Betis

All over at the Camp Nou. Juanmi’s excellent goal has given Betis a famous victory, one that moves up to the third in the table. Barcelona stay seventh, and in all sorts of bother.

Neal Maupay, who scored an 89th-minute equaliser at West Ham in the week, has raised it - and flipped it - with a 98th-minute equaliser at Southampton!

Divock Origi has added another entry to a unique portfolio of cult heroism. It was a fine finish on the turn after brilliant play from Salah. A number of the Wolves players collapsed to the floor. But I can’t dwell on this because...

Southampton 1-0 Brighton Trossard’s injury means there will be ten minutes of added time at St Mary’s.

Southampton 1-0 Brighton Leandro Trossard is receiving oxygen as he is stretchered down the tunnel. It sounds like he is in excruciating pain. Brighton have already used their three subs, so they will be down to 10 men for the last few minutes.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool Jose Sa has made a brilliant save from Sadio Mane! A Wolves defender sliced a clearance back towards his own goal. It went straight to Mane, whose close-range toebung brought an outstanding reaction save from Jose Sa.

Newcastle 1-0 Burnley The Burnley substitute Jay Rodriguez has had a goal disallowed for offside. It was the right decision, it says here, so let’s all move on.

Southampton 1-0 Brighton It sounds like Leandro Trossard has suffered a very painful elbow injury at St Mary’s. He’s been receiving treatment for two or three minutes, which suggests a possible dislocation.

“As things stand, Inverness still top the Scottish Championship on 31 points, and Arbroath, on 28 points, are fifth, and out of the play off places,” writes Simon McMahon. “It’s not quite the Romanian third division in 1984, but still.”

Never mind all that, has anyone had a seat on the ball?

Newcastle 1-0 Burnley Newcastle are 13 minutes away from their first league win of the season. According to Clinton Morrison on Sky Sports, Newcastle have been much the better team.

Southampton 1-0 Brighton Alex McCarthy has just made a good save from Neal Maupay, it says here. If it stays like this, Southampton will be only a point behind Brighton; this despite losing three of their best players in the summer and winning none of their first seven league games. Ralph Hasenhuttl is such a good manager.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool Seventeen minutes to go at Molineux, where Liverpool are desperately seeking a winner. In the circumstances - Chelsea losing, Liverpool struggling to score for the first time in months - it would be a huge victory.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool Another one goes by for Liverpool. Salah clips a lovely pass over the top to Mane, whose imperfect control allows Jose Sa to make a brave save.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool An interesting substitution from Jurgen Klopp: Divock Origi is on for Jordan Henderson.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool I still can’t believe that Jota miss*. He was a few yards out and could have rolled the ball into either corner. Instead he just welted it straight down Coady’s pipe.

* Yes, I realise it wasn’t technically a miss, but it was so pipe down

“If Uri Geller is disappointed by getting his predictions wrong,” writes Andy, “maybe he’ll cheer himself up with a drink at a Wither Spoons.”

It depends on the wether.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool: what a chance for Liverpool! Diogowhateverhisnameis has just missed a wonderful opportunity. The keeper Jose Sa was completely out of the game, but Diogo J Silva IV hammered it straight at Coady on the line. He could have picked a spot, any spot, and he’s normally such a composed finisher. Not this time.

“Hi Rob,” says Brian Wiley. “There’s a misunderstanding of Diogo J’s name. His full name is Diogo José Teixeira da Silva, and his nickname is Diogo J in English or Diogo Jota in Portuguese. The J is an abbreviation of José. Jota is just the Portuguese word for the letter ‘J’. It’s a nonsense to call him Jota in the commentary as if that were his surname. Call him any of Diogo J, Diogo or Silva!”

It might be a nonsense, but it’s in the Guardian style guide and I’m not brave enough to deviate from that. The last Guardianista to do so had their Tweetdeck access suspended for a whole week. I haven’t seen such sickening torment since the cold turkey scene in Trainspotting.

GOAL! Rangers 2-0 Dundee (Sweeney 55 og)

Rangers are heading seven points clear at the top of the Scottish Premiership.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool A Liverpool corner leads to a game of pinball in the penalty area, with Thiago eventually slicing wide. That was a good chance.

Full time: AC Milan 2-0 Salernitana

A comfortable win for Milan, who go top of Serie A, at least for the next few hours.

“Hi Rob,” says Phil Grey. “If New Castle don’t get three points today, Uri Geller might be watching them play Black Burn, Mill Wall and Birm Ingham next season.”

But will he still be talking out of his Gallow Gate End?

Newcastle 1-0 Burnley “Hey Rob,” writes J.R. in Illinois. “Burnley fans and/or the 3.2% of fantasy football managers who have Maxwel Cornet in their team would probably like to know that he went off injured in the 32nd minute.”

What do you think this is, a football update service?

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool Wolves have their first half-chance, with Alisson just beating Traore to a low cross from Ait-Nouri.

“Fond memories of Arthur Montford,” writes Willie Mills. “’A goalmouth stramash’, and, after going down to an early goal against Czechoslovakia in a must-win qualifier: ‘It’s a disaster, a disaster for Scotland’. Much missed.”

“Afternoon Rob,” says Stephen Carr. “Apropos of nothing, but earlier I returned from a near 50-mile round trip when my son’s U13 game was called off after five minutes because the opposition were shivering due to the inclement conditions. On that basis, the cliché ‘can he do it on a wet Wednesday night in Stoke?’ needs to be updated to reference stormy Saturday mornings in Skelmersdale.”

Another area in which Cristiano Ronaldo has been found wanting.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Burnley (Wilson 40)

Newcastle are in front! Callum Wilson has scored after an error from Nick Pope. It was checked by VAR for a possible foul on Pope, but the goal was given, and rightly so according to those who can legally watch the game.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool: what a tackle from Saiss! Robertson’s low cross is about to be put into an empty net by Salah when Saiss slides in to divert the ball away from Salah. That was tremendous defending.

GOAL! Rangers 1-0 Dundee (Aribo 36)

Joe Aribo has put Rangers ahead at Ibrox with a deflected shot that wrongfooted the keeper Adam Legzdins.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool Wolves still haven’t managed a shot off target, never mind on, but they have done well to restrict Liverpool to just that one Jota chance.

Wolves 0-0 Liverpool Diogo Jota, who scored the winner on his return to Molineux last season, has missed a great chance to put Liverpool in front. Alexander-Arnold flipped a delicious cross to the far post, where Jota got away from Semedo but headed fractionally wide.

“Morning greetings from the disunited states of Trumpistan,” says Mary Waltz. “Poor Eddie Howe’s pained face has not changed since he took over management of Newcastle. At this pace he will be bald by the end of the season.”

What’s wrong with being b- oh who am I kidding.
