Think this thread does our boys a disservice; they not only lead the world rankings in football but in intellect too..
Why, only recently before the Arsenal game, I overheard the following snatch of conversation betwixt our very own Kyle and Jack as they walked from the team bus into the dressing room:
KYLE: I say Jack, dear fellow, I notice on this occasion you've eschewed your usual iPod and earphones for reading a book and, might I say, a rather hefty tome at that! What is it, the latest Margaret Attwood or Salman Rushdie?
JACK: Oh no, dear boy.. it's a set text for one of the elements of the History degree course upon which I've recently embarked, 'Comparative Religious Studies'.. the book's called 'The Complutensian Polyglot'.. I have an essay to complete on it's impact upon religious thought and mediaeval politics..and I must say, it's quite the page-turner..'
KYLE: Fascinating dear chap! And good on you for seeking a qualification to secure the future for your family post-footy.. Bravo you!
I rest my case, M'Lud..
