Supposedly, there’s a man in the Koan. How could we have been so ignorant of this flagrant injustice for all these years? How he’s survived in there is, of course, a mystery to science. Perhaps some of Warwick’s incredible STEM scholars can stop engaging in the irrelevant, like discovering new...

By run-in, I mean the period from now until the 26th of March next year, wherein (excluding bouts of FA Cup action) we have no FPL breaks, alongside several mid-week gameweeks (including the upcoming GW14). So adorn your planning hats, for there’s a lot of football to think about heading...
