Luis Sinisterra makes me feel safe
Would I send him to a cashpoint with my card and pin? I would. I would ask him to watch my pint in a pub, I would let him look after my pet dog if I had one. He's the neighbour I want my parcels delivered to, the person I want to ask for directions in a strange town.

Raphinha's spinning nutmeg through the embers of Gary Cahill's career did not depend on the game situation or seasonal targets: it was just pure delight, a thing to admire in its own moment.
Tyler Adams knows it all
Sam Greenwood will be like, 'Woah, he's so cool!' and Joffy Gelhardt will be like, 'And I really like his jacket', then next thing you know they're all behind the green travel scheme bike sheds at Thorp Arch and Tyler is teaching them how to smoke.
