I bet you do.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

Watched that Pescara game where he kept clean sheet them being down to 9 men. Amazing.
I saw him pass to his defender...ball went into row Z.
It's amazing how footballers always seem to find the proverbial 'Row Z'.
It's never 'Row X' or 'Row Y'; always 'Row Z'. This seems like pretty accurate and consistent 'ball-hoofing' to my mind

If there were another letter beyond Z...Hart would 'pass' it there.

You know how when long serving players sometimes have their shirt number retired?
When Emile Heskey retired, row Z was renamed in his honour at Leicester

Nice comment Carl and, all joking aside, you're probably correct.
In a Pep side, where the goalkeeper needs to be good with the ball at his feet, I wonder if Yaya ever thought about re-inventing himself as a 'sweeper-'keeper'.
For instance, he can certainly control and pass a ball, he wouldn't have to run around too much, he's tall enough to command his area in the air and playing between the nets would extend his career and keep his agent employed (and in luxury) for a few years more.
If he made a mess of any shots he should have saved, he can always say he's no worse than De Gea, or Joe Hart down to his left.
Re-invention has got to be the new cool.

On this topic, Torino beat a team called A.C. Bra 7-0 in a friendly last night. Considering the scoreline, Joe didn't make a tit of himself.

Have to back Carl up here, Yaya can't jump. He has scored some headers but that was more owing to his height rather than his ability to jump.

Good point - totally forgot about internationals (even though the posts directly above mine mention them, and I saw the international fixtures while looking to see whether there'd been any midweek domestic games, which is how I came across this scoreline in the first place).
