Sadly Martinelli will never get the level of composure and decision making we need. When defending he's elite, so he reads a game well. Confidence has impaired his directness, but the delivery in the final third has never been great. I think he had a 'better' end to last season, no more.

Indeed. One of the best defensive wingers in world football. Reads the game well, tackles well, breaks down attacks. The attacking side of his game has gone steadily backwards. Every time I see him I think, Pires used to play in that position.

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

A pika sits on a mossy rock. Tighter crop of the same pika, focusing on its head. An even tighter crop, focusing more on the pika's eye. An extremely tight crop of the pika's eye, emphasizing their reflection of an early morning mountain scene.

I really don't like sparklers, but the biggest issue I have is when a beer is past it's best. A sparkler can hide the visual signs of that. Won't be an issue with Oakham's finest of course. Even on a well conditioned beer it makes for a keg like head that I can do without.
