We have some conclusions on a very enjoyable England performance, praise for Nathaniel Clyne, Equatorial Guinea, Yorkshire v Scotland and logic working out for all...
Eden Hazard may one day aim to be the world's best player, but Ali Tweedale of WhoScored.com describes how he isn't even third. That's Luis Suarez, actually...
We've changed the length of some starred-out words otherwise it would be too easy...
1) 'Having made a steady start under new manager Louis van Gaal, with just a slight injury disrupting his rhythm at the start of this term, the ******* international looks set for a bright future at the Theatre of Dreams.'
2) 'Beloved by his team-mates and respected by his opponents, the ***** boy remains a cult hero for many observers who enjoy the subtler details of the beautiful game.'
3) Unquestionably gifted, the **** retains a special place in the affections of his colleagues and supporters, and will forever be known as the star of the Reds' unforgettable 2007-08 Double season.'
4) '******'s effectiveness as a central coagulant, his physical presence and versatility in midfield...render him in an adaptable weapon with genuine value to the United cause.'
5) 'Patrice Evra once joked that he thought ****** had eaten a motor, such was his energetic approach, and, even after taking a long and winding road to this point in his career, ***** still has plenty left in the tank.'
6) 'While a place in the manager's starting XI is far from guaranteed - with new signings Luke Shaw, Marcos Rojo and Daley Blind all inclined towards the left flank - ****** has already displayed an admirable determination that could yet make him an influential player at the Theatre of Dreams.'
7) 'While ******* is admittedly delighted with how things are shaping up at the Theatre of Dreams, with a host of expensive new signings, his biggest hope is to retain that childish love of football that was nurtured at home in ******.'
8) 'Given the intelligence of match-going Reds, who love a hard worker, his unsung reputation could yet be short-lived.'
9) 'Were there ever a footballer to embody the rewards of bloody-mindedness, valour and vigour, then **** is that man.'
10) 'For all the years spent indoctrinating young footballers with the Manchester United way, every so often, another club produces a player who looks born to represent the Reds. ***** was one such instance.'
11) 'Be it in a back three or a reversion to a back four, time will tell, but in times of ongoing change at United, it seems certain that **** will be a central figure to the Reds' revolution.'
12) 'Given that ****'s career has already progressed at breakneck speed...only a fool would bet against him realising his dreams at the Theatre that nurtures them.'
To find out who's the 'central coagulant' and the rest, come this way...
Sorry... what's the point of this article again? Oh yea... International weekend...slow news...need traffic.
