  1. Zlatan Ibrahimović | 2016/17 Performances

    I need to see Ibra vs Andy Carroll in the box, either end. Popcorn will be brought.

    996 more pages to go. We can do it.
  3. Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies

    He's waiting for the 1000 pages, isn't he.
  4. Paul Pogba | Undergoing Medical | Helping out the Laundry Ladies

  8. Who would get the England job if Roy Hodgson left?

    Brian Clough, from beyond the grave. "I wouldn't say I was the best dead manager in the business, but I was in the top one."
