Watching Sky Sports News talking about Sean Dyche, I was just reminded how at Everton he surrounded himself only with bald men, and I was never sure whether this was out of solidarity, a plan to confuse potential assassins, or as some sort of bizarre game of Where’s Wally on match days.

Grew up in Somerset too, and now live in Oxfordshire, so my expectations of seeing buzzards and kites on a pretty much daily basis are massively above the average.

If it helps any, if everything goes according to plan right now, then I reckon by March Dyche should have you safely (if deeply unimpressively) out of danger… and Postecoglou will have got Manchester United relegated.
