It's a shame as he isn't a bad player. He's as brittle as an icicle. There'll be a lot of icicles tonight ha ha. Bloody freezing.

Sam Allardyce reported earlier today that Seamus Coleman is working out with the ‘rehab lads’, and is progressing nicely but still has some ways to go from returning to action after what the Welsh fullback did to him nine months ago. At this rate, it looks unlikely that Coleman will return before the end of January.

Sam Allardyce has put back Leighton Baines’ recovery schedule by a further fortnight.
A fortnight ago the Everton manager pinpointed mid-February as a likely comeback date for the England international, who has been missing for 10 weeks now with a calf problem.
But Allardyce seemed less confident when asked about Baines’ progress today.
“It is difficult to say exactly (when Baines will be available), because there have been that many times he has been due to come back well before now and that has not happened,” he said.
“I would have thought... end of this month, with any luck.
“Then you have to get game time and training time, even though you have recovered from the problem you had.
“You have to do several days’ training with the first-team, then try to get a game with the Under-23s or behind closed doors.

Leighton Baines hasn’t played for Everton since he left the pitch injured against Southampton in the end of November during David Unsworth’s interim tenure, and hasn’t even trained for Allardyce since the latest manager took over.
However it appears the ageing left-back is getting closer to a return, and spoke to evertonfc.com about Allardyce.
“There is a new manager to impress and I have not had the opportunity to train under him or be a part of it at all since he has come in. That’s always nice in some respects because you have that little bit more to prove as he doesn’t know you.
“Hopefully I can get back into training soon and when I do, I hope to be reasonable enough shape to do myself justice.”
He has been trying to keep his mind on football while he has been recuperating.
“It is always an interesting time when you are out, I find, because your focus is so much on football when you are playing and I schedule my life around it. When you haven’t got games, it’s not as necessary to go and recover from a training session or a match so it changes the structure of your life.
“But at the moment, the workload is big and I have got to recover from the sessions. My diet is always important but particularly when you are out injured and you can’t train you have to pay close attention to that.
“But it is almost like muscle memory – I am reverting back to that regime I have had for the last 15 years or whatever it has been.”

The ageing left-back comment says it all.
