TBF every ****ing thread disappears...the mods must be clean freaks who seem to have to merge anything vaguely related even if it is big news that deserves its own thread

Nothing much but I have to have regular check-ups and was kept in last night for some tests.

Not my favourite way to spend a Friday evening I can tell you.

No, I bet.

An elder brother has a form of leukaemia, in remission, which means he has to have regular check-ups and blood tests, for white cell counts. If he gets the slightest sniffle the NHS swings into action, rather impressively.

De Ridder's pace scares defenders, but his final ball has been poor. In his defence though he's never had a settled run in the team and I think if he got one his understanding with the other players, and where to put the ball, would improve. He looks quite unlikely to get that though, sadly.

A winger doesn't need a Beckham-esque cross if he gets in behind, just the ability to get the ball out of his feet quickly. Anything across the 6 yard box is dangerous and playing that ball shouldn't take a whole lot of skill if the winger is well beyond his man. His pace will be an asset if he doesn't have to worry about defending or hugging the touchline.
 
Indeed and I think he's got the ability to put in dangerous balls, it's just that when he has got himself into positions to feed the strikers, he has either had to wait for them to catch up, and then got tackled, or he has put in a ball without looking and missed all the runners. That's what I think would improve given game time, he will learn where to put the ball and the other players will learn where he is going to put it.
