Lucas in the Sky with Diamonds

...and there was me thinking Meireles was the one doing everything. Ignorance is no excuse - I'm sorry Lucas, on behalf of, well, virtually everyone.

On another note, since Kevin Davies joined Bolton in 2003 he has been the Premier League's top fouler 5 out of 7 times, soon to be 6 out of 8. The other two times he came second, to Patrick Vieira and John Carew. Last season he totted up 103 fouls. Second place was Cahill... with 74. Some might say he's a dirty player. I say he just wants to win.
