In years to come, kids will quizzically watch footage of teams failing to βplay out against the pressβ, and weβll explain that it was a tactic invented by a manager who had all the best players, inexplicably copied by managers who definitely didnβt. And the kids wonβt get itβ¦
#Spurs with the lad. I always wish this guy had been given the No. 4 shirt, so the kit man could hand it to him and say: βWear four out there, Romero.β #GettingMyCoat #EvenThoughItsHot
There used to be only two types of people: those who generalise and those who don't. Now there are those who saw the #NorthernLights and those who are annoyed with themselves that they were asleep.

Good to hear. Monty Panesar gave his time and support a few years back to raise money for the The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity at a dinner in Vikki's name so I have a lot of time for him. He has a good heart. Feels like he just listened to the wrong people.
