Now the season is in full swing, we are starting to hear more from Gillette Soccer Saturday's finest.

"Tactically, he's one of the best I've worked with. If Arsene Wenger had Harry Redknapp's tactical nous, Arsenal would win the league."
As you can imagine, this sparked a huge reaction on social media. Seriously, Paul, how did you think people would react to this bizarre analogy:
The replies go on and on, but we haven't got all day so the above are just a taster of what to expect on social media, today.
