Re: whatever happened to John Cofie?
I wonder if he was actually good or just 6ft and rapid at 13 years old. I remember him doing an interview where he said he couldn't play on the crap pitches whenever he got loaned out because he was too used to the high quality surfaces at Utd's academy.

It's interesting that Walcott's first England appearance was 2006, and his last was 2016. To my mind he personifies those abject post-Sven, pre-Southgate wilderness years for the national team.

The best way to phase out oil is to make production of sustainable alternatives cheaper, no self-respecting capitalist is going to choose a moral obligation to the planet over money so until it's more profitable to use something else oil will be here to stay.
