I can get used to this. I’ve decided the Emery bloke can stay for a bit longer

Have to say, the shirt looks lovely at a distance and sans sponsor
Yes it does. I have stopped buying shirts once the chest sponsors came on but if could I will buy this.

Just follow Risso's washing instructions and your shirt can be sans sponsor too.

What I really like about Philogene is that he's clearly spent a lot of time watching players like Luiz who grew up with Futsal so he controls with his studs as often as with his instep and the flexibility that gives means he can always pick to go inside or outside.

Close up it’s absolutely wringing wet with sweat. Terrible to play in.

Reminds me of every shirt Petrov played in.  By half-time he always looked like he'd been playing in a monsoon.

He should go to Poland and get a hair transplant.

Philogene is much better than Bailey.

This second half has been the best I've seen Bailey play for a while, he's barely put a foot wrong. Think he has found his best position.
