Insane bargain for £13m! Almost as good value as Robbo. He brings so much to our team. Just wish we had Ox fit too.
After a shaky start I think Fabinho's really grown into the match, which is a relief.

England have moved up to fifth in Fifa's latest world rankings, their highest position for five years.
Belgium are now the outright number one side in the world, having previously been tied at the top with France, who slipped to second.
Wales move up a place to 18th, but there are drops for the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland who are now 33rd and 34th respectfully.
Alex McLeish's Scotland fall a place to 40th following two successive defeats.
England's one-place climb comes following their first win in Spain for 31 years, the 3-2 UEFA Nations League win earlier in October.
Germany continue to struggle, falling two places to 14th following losses to the Netherlands and France.
Columbia are the biggest climbers in the top 20, moving three places higher to 11th and overtaking Argentina in the process.
In June, Fifa announced it was using a new method named "SUM" to work out countries' rankings.
The new system works by adding and subtracting points for victories and defeats whereas the previous iteration calculated a rolling average for each country.

I trust this replaces the previous "COUNTIF" method.

They are going to move to a "VLOOKUP" method next year.

I agree, I am going to INDEX the replies so that we can MATCH them and discover the culprits.

What do figures in a spreadsheet and figures in football have in common?
They all eventually end up in cells

Jose has been channeling his inner Moyes today:
Jose, talking about Everton, wrote:“We knew the club would move in that direction,” he told MUTV.
“Difficult, incredible investment. Very good players, players from Barcelona.
“So that is the level which Everton wants to reach.
“Their ambitions are very similar to our ambitions.”
