A better player would have got more than Jenas though and so would the team, only thing reduced would be my blood pressure ;¬)

I'm sure every team has a midfielder they love to hate - stand up Leon Osman, mercurial figure and ultimate supporter divider. He's too lightweight! He's got no pace! What a ball! What a goal! Flicks between a world beater and a starved panel beater. Sadly mostly the latter this year.

thatinkjar: That's my kind of blog, one that posts by itself!
