Oh Niko. You tousled literary conundrum, you. Images via premierleague.com.
EPL footballers are currently involved in a scheme intended to improve literacy levels and
encourage people in the UK to read more books.
Please. It's not that funny.
It's actually pretty cool. Each EPL club nominates a player as their representative on the
scheme and that player then selects his favourite books (one children's book, one grown-up book)
and they are added to a list of recommendations.
First off, I accept that this is a pretty unfair comparison.
To rank any Arsenal team from any era against the most feted group of Gunners ever to have worn
the sacred cannon is clearly destined to be a mismatch.
It's a bit like comparing Dan Brown with Charles Dickens, or Boyzone with the Beatles.
I don't think this is what Hart had in mind...
It was a nice night out at BMO, but deja vu was in the air. The last time a team in red played a
team from the not-quite-a-U.S.-state, it was a group-stage clincher-type set-up where the visitors
put 8 defenders in front of their goal and got the result needed to wreck everything.

I've always wondered why football clubs allow their players to have public Twitter accounts. I
understand the argument that it brings the fans closer to the player, but more often than not, it
gives the overpaid young whippersnappers ample opportunity to put their heavily-insured feet in
their mouths.
