I thought he was decent today, not helped by the sending off. He's an absolute unit, and was able to hold of O'Shea and Esteve quite easily, and I think won more than his fair share of headers. Problem being he was quite isolated with them having to adopt a defensive formation to cover the loss of R...

When my Discovery key was coming to the end of its life it went to Land Rover on Lomeshaye who said a new one would be over £400 at least. He then took me to one side, and whispered to get up Birros at Colne, who did it for half that amount!
