I see that I wasted my time punctuating correctly to avoid exactly that misinterpretation.

Surely 'Nails'.

I know what you mean. It feels like a poor tribute act these days. It could still be good with a decent cast joining Jack Dee, but looking at the first episode of the new series: Tony Hawks, Alexander Armstrong, Rachel Parris* and the Rev Richard Coles, they've removed any personality it had...

Is Adama Traore's main position 'substitute'? I can't think of a player who comes on more often than he does.

March and Adingra, if fit would be the two to be rotated. Adingra's been used a lot on the left because Mitoma's injured. If Mitoma's fit presumably he'd share the load on the left with Osman who we've already spent €20m on and, if Undav returns, repositioned Enciso, Pedro, on the left and...

Do: Stick close to Charles Bronson & John Leyton, or James Coburn. They're the only ones who made it. Don't: Try to leap a barbed wire fence on a motorbike, or answer 'Thank you very much' if someone says your German is good.

This is always a weird one for me. Owners appoint a young manager and don't seem to realise that, like young players, they will learn and improve year on year.

That makes more sense. I thought it might be her follow up book to 'One is Fun'.

Surprised not to see Fati's home goal against Ajax in there. Adringa's ball into him was nice. His take and quick shot was a thing of beauty.

Where did you get that from? Transfermarkt had him playing 28 games in Serie A and 6 games in Europe.

Whilst I'd agree that there is a disjunct between the headline and the article. I didn't think the article was good anyway. It's just yet another Fleet Street piece that assumes that the ultimate goal for everyone involved in football is to work for one of the Nation State owned monoliths...

Quite easy actually, barely an inconvenience. ;)

The premise in the headline is a massive assumption, unsupported by anything in the article. Boil it down to what is known and what is inferred or presumed, let's say fact and guesswork: We've stopped scoring goals: Fact; European games seemed to be RDZ's destiny but now he might have to lump...

Was he playing for Man Utd?
