I don't want you to overreact, but this week's Twitter round-up features a player complaining about Nando's. I know that seems pretty unlikely, but stranger things have happened - even if nocturnal furniture assaults aren't among them.

Look at it looming ominously.

It's not a sign of enormous maturity, though, is it? You're setting the bar pretty low if that's the best you've got to offer. Maybe we should look elsewhere for wisdom.
And you? What's your philosophy?
Apparently Shaun has a rival wise man in the form of Kemar Roach.
