Round-up the usual suspects…

Click on the link here for my fans' run-in review in the Observer — in which I suggest that Dimitri Payet was the biggest romantic let-down since Humphrey Bogart was left standing alone at Paris station in Casablanca. Though if Payet is Ilsa Lund then I guess that means Slaven Bilic is Rick Blaine and Robert Snodgrass is Victor Lazlo, with Sam Byram playing the piano in Rick's Bar. I'm no good at being Noble… but we'll always have George Parris.
