“Every year I like to draw up the Premier League as a system of tiers. This year I didn’t do it, but the caste system is about as pronounced as its ever been. In an scenario eerily similar to the actual world, the small group of elites (The Big Four) are growing richer, the middle class is getting squeezed and the poor unwashed masses continue to grow.” (That’s On Point)

“Xabi Alonso is the new Chuck Norris. You’d think, given the melodramatic manner in which his homeward-bound transfer to Madrid has been covered in the professional press and on the interwebs of amateur punditry, that the Handsome Basque once ate an entire ream of rice paper and shat out some origami swans and Shunsuke Nakamura. You’d think he could withstand a lethal dose of Napalm in his Lucozade. You’d think the Taliban requested peace talks after watching highlights of the Spanish midfielder’s long-range bombs against Luton Town and Newcastle.” (That’s On Point)
