We have Iwobi, you imbecile. Have you seen how hard he works? Up & down, up & down for 90 mins. Wd Alex Iwobi.Quote:

Are we allowed to call the big ones 'a beast'?Quote:

This Hetymer looks like the sort who will be fun to watch batting with the tail. I did like the fact that he batted in a sun hat yesterdayQuote:
