    There was me wondering 'Does Coleridge reference Virgil's Aeneid when writing the Rimes of the Ancient Mariner and writing about that Albatross? Is this a clever reference to VvD's transfer fee?'

    But no, you're talking about the kid's TV show...

    Now I feel silly.
    Really?

          Van Dijk is one of only four centre-backs to play over 60 Premier League matches over the past three seasons without making a single error leading to a goal.
          Probably been mentioned before, but first I read it.
          If we are all only happy when we are really winning in the end, when your race finishes, what life would that be?

            That stat is rarely accurate, I'm not sure what constitutes errors leading to a goal but I suspect it's dribbling around your whole team before pinging it in the top corner as defenders rarely have them put against them.

              Accurate or not, he's still in an elite group and it's an area we really struggle with.

              His long range passing that's been mentioned in a few articles is another thing I didn't realise he possessed and could be a lethal weapon with our attackers.

              On paper, he ticks so many boxes it's scary. If that transfers on to the pitch, £75m will prove a bargain.

                  More to the point, who are the other three? We can't play one at the back
                  Really?

                    I don't know but I will go out on a limb and say that none of them play for us
                    The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                          3 seasons without an error, I bet he doesnt last 3 games with Mig behind him and Lovren next to him.

                            OG, penalty give away and a red card on Friday I reckon.

                              If he plays. All the noises are that he will be eased in.

                                Does it get easier than playing CB v Everton these days? Should be a Friday night stroll for the big fella.
