Yes 2 nice reads, thanks for posting them.
The Telegraph piece highlights the togetherness and harmony between the players, long may it continue.

So we need to beat 16 conceded for the season to be the meanest defence ever in Enlish professional football.

Excellent read that, cheers Commy.

Nice they highlight Pires as well.

I think that is right. Youngish at 23 but hasn’t played much, yet what he has done is play in some huge games, for Santos and then for Cadiz in La Liga against Real Madrid etc. He is not the liability many think.
