The Wales manager Chris Coleman has decided to shake up the Wales national team and he started by sacking the Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey as captain and replacing him with Swansea's Ashley Williams. Coleman revealed the contents of the chat he had with Ramsey about his decision.

"I spoke with Aaron yesterday.

While millions of people the world over are buying things like Fifty Shades of Grey and Coldplay albums just because other people are buying them, the same sort of momentum rarely attaches itself to those of us at the humbler end of the spectrum. But The Fulham Review is just as special in its own way, and contains some wonderful things by some fine writers, so please do have a look if you're in any way tempted.

[UPDATE! Rich weighted the data according to playing time! See below]

[UPDATE� ii- just moved this up as I think it's worth a look and don't want it buried under the Split stuff.� Interesting that when we pro-rate age for playing time you've got an almost absurdly consistent line upwards.

Piggybacking off Rich's post from the other day, I've been looking at the average age of our squad over the years. Remember learning mean, median, and mode, along with standard deviation from math class? Well, it's back Fulham style!

We all know that the side is in some (not dire) need of youth, and that our stalwarts aren't just getting older, they're nearing the end of their careers I for one would not be surprised to see Danny Murphy and Damien Duff hang up their boots after this season.

Dealt with the considerable aerial threat from Everton with consummate ease. Good distribution and was tested very little by Everton.

Strong in the tackle and showed plenty of pace going forward.Stuck to his task defensively against Pienaar and Baines and also made a significant contribution at the other end with a powerful shot which lead to Gerrard's opening goal

The Reds Vice-captain may have lost some pace over the years but he's got a good footballing brain on his shoulders and he used that against Everton.

Thomas Vermaelen will play in the left back position

All four centre backs have been deployed against Everton. Thomas Vermaelen at left back, Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny form the central pairing, and Johan Djourou at right.

For Arsenal the danger men are Tim Cahill who loves to lose himself in the thicket of tall defenders rising from nowhere for his headers, Leighton Baines who will fancy himself against a relatively static Djourou to bomb forward, and Louis Saha who still packs in an explosive finish.

de Gea; Jones, Evans, Vidic, Evra; Park, Fletcher, Cleverley; Welbeck, Rooney, Hernandez

Subs: Lindegaard, Ferdinand, Fabio, Nani, Valencia, Owen and Berbatov.

Everton: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Heitinga, Jagielka, Coleman, Bilyaletdinov, Osman, Fellaini, Rodwell and Saha.

The mist has cleared from derby day.� Undoubtedly� Jack Rodwells red card has been on� everyone's� lips.Everyone on the blue half of Merseyside is� bemoaning� the the sending off, but common sense has prevailed over at� Anfield� this photo has done the rounds and tell me these challenges aren't worse� Foul Play.

Everton have confirmed that striker Jermaine Beckford has left the club in a� £3 million deal. The transfer sees Beckford drop down a division to the Championship as he joins Sven Goran Eriksson's Leicester City side. Beckford failed to make the grade at Goodison Park, often frustrating Toffees fans by missing countless goalscoring opportunities.

Instead Moyes' revolution, whilst no less seismic than the City/Chelsea uber-splurges, has been all about players with a point to prove being given the perfect place to prove it.

Accrington 0-1 Stevenage (Beardsley 89)
BBC Report | Westley Reaction

Stevenage will face Torquay United in the League 2 playoff final at Old Trafford next Saturday. A place in League 1 is up for grabs for the winners after they beat Accrington and Shrewsbury respectively over two legs.

I'm not going to do a preview. There's no point. Everyone know's what the situation is, who's fit, who's in form etc. According to Accrington's manager, the tie's already over, so what's the point in previewing it.

Here's Coleman's quote to the local Lancashire paper which says it all really.

League 2 Playoffs: The prize of beating Accrington is the final at Old Trafford

Stevenage welcome Accrington Stanley to Broadhall Way tomorrow evening in the first leg of the League 2 playoff semi final. I use the term welcome loosely. There's nothing I want more than for us to smash Accrington into oblivion and force them into another season in League 2.

When Rotherham United departed from Millmoor at the end of the 2007/08 season, the departure of this football club from its home of one hundred and one years was, perhaps, not granted the attention that it should have been. Rotherham, who had a wretched few seasons during the last decade, had failed to reach agreement with their landlords over disputes that had been running for several years, and left for pastures new at The Don Valley Stadium in nearby Sheffield.
