[Maravilloso Marvo]

Well, she was project manager until her company got kicked off it and sued for breach of contract by the restaurant. You know her as well.

She is actually still on good terms with the people in there and was warmly received.

Very insightful view into who is effective on the pitch, at least in the context of their own leagues. Very interesting to see Lewandowski and Falcao down the list, you'd have expected them to be in the top 10 given their prominence in terms of media coverage.

Benteke. Proven premiership player, though only 1 season under his belt. I am in favour of this type of analytics, other than the obvious top 2, who would be stand out in any generation of players, I was surprised at the order thereafter.

What do they know about sahker?

Absolute drivel.

Next you will talk to me of 'assists' and I will be forced to hunt you down and relieve you of the burden of living.

Enjoy, I haven't been myself but I am told it is very nice.

It was for comedic value, and somewhat ironic given my mixed ancestry.

which he was surprised I knew much about.

And all prompted by a La Roja book on a coffee table there.
