Five games into the Premier League season. It’s probably time to start panicking. Six teams have failed to win a match. Now, where were those spare bedsheets? For unemployed managers looking for further opportunities, probably time to accept requests to appear as a pundit, get the face back out there, even if that means having to fly to Doha. Admittedly, it’s not quite sacking season. Most clubs are more patient these days.

Love your Football Daily letters segment and how you pick a winner each time, but … I think it would be interesting if you had a little button on each of the posted letters wherein we could vote for which one we thought was the best. Keep a tight window on when we can vote and ensure each email address can only vote once on that particular day. Even if we don’t know the winner until the next day, that will drive more traffic as I want to see if my selection won” – Harry Webb.
