Some of these young players wouldn't even be playing if so many of the squad weren't injured. This is a moment in time, it'll pass.

From the PL website, appearances 11 v 6: I'm not stat-savvy enough to know what this shows, except that they're different kinds of defenders, I think. I don't even know why I prefer Webster but I just do, he feels more 'physical'. He's more from the Shane Duffy school, which I loved - when he...

I love Billy!

Every Christmas for the past few decades. It simply gets better as one gets older, and the crew member in the mirror always gets a "ah there he is again" shout out (y)

The Simpsons!

After each game I've seen on TV, I mentally rate the players 1-10 (okay, 7-10) and he comes out as a 7 maybe 7.5 each time. Then I wander through threads like this and it does surprise me how much better he obviously is. "Yes he scores but apart from that? He's missed some sitters." It simply...

I had the impression his family released the statement to coincide with the episode; either way, as the credits came up, any hopes of a truly happy ending were ended there and then. He was so brave and so mature at his age, yet so young. For some reason, he has been in my head ever since...

A handful of coins would have done the trick. If so, the ref getting him to leave the pitch at the nearest point, which was back toward where possible coins had come from, made me wince.

For what it's worth, I use the Epic browser, a totally kosher Chrome browser. Has a built-in VPN and no pop-ups / phantom page-loading. It's superb.

Probably for the same reason I maintained a few years ago that Big Jurg would turn out to be a diamond of a signing - unadulterated optimism despite all evidence to the contrary! :clap:

That Jeremy is out on loan and not Buononotte baffles me.

I've always been very much out of the loop on this - why was Charlie blackballed? Shirley not just for being part of Gus' staff?

I noticed those tweets too; an interesting dig around Google followed, and now I think a simple Japanese flag would be the correct replacement, shurely - no need to wave the imperial flag unless you're a bit of a troll? Almost as offensive were the half and half scarves worn in the away end...

The letters are my favourite part of The Fiver and it's always a thrill to see any references to us - well played Ben punk:

The Giggs Rule?
