Truly, democracy manifest.

Elliot Anderson has apparently reached 20 England caps more quickly than any other English player.
He's got there in 392 days. The previous record was held by Chris Waddle at 453 days. An international tournament this summer has obviously helped, but still.
For comparison, Waddle made his debut in March 1985 and played four times at the World Cup in Mexico the following year.
-
These attendance 'records' do my nut. Of course they are going to get broken. They play more games now.
I notice they never talk about things like time between falling over and rolling around on the floor screaming like a baby records.
-
Understood, but the context is more that he's broken a 40-year-old record. Yes, there are more games now than previously but that's been the case for a while. The Nations League has been going for eight years, for example.
Anderson has made his debut and become a regular immediately, which I'm not sure is that common.
-
It is for him though. He did the same thing at Forest.
-
Quite. He's a special talent - we know this. Breaking into the England team and making yourself one of the first names on the team sheet immediately is still mightily impressive.
-
Definitely. But it's hardly without precedent, and Anderson is probably not the most special talent with immediate impact of note (Owen, Rooney).
I'd rather talk about what the lad can do, than create a meaningless stats based narrative to give people who don't understand the running and kicking bits a handle to get hold of. That thing that you said here (quoted above)...that's fine! What's wrong with that as the conversation? Not everything has to be a fucking made up record.
This is all a bit raw as I had to put up with talkshite banging on about how Harry Kane is the best England player ever because 'stats' yesterday. You can imagine how that has left me this morning....
-
This is easily remedied. Never, ever, listen to TalkSport.

Know your enemy.
I suffer, for your sins.
-
Really? Crikey. And yet I care so ridiculously little about it. I thought it was just rebranding friendlies for money.

Arvin Appiah joins Bristol Rovers.
-
Eventually - apparently they wanted to register him last week for the weekend's games, but the Spanish FA were not responding particularly quickly, so he couldn't get international clearance.
Joins fellow ex-Reds Riley Harbottle and the recently diagnosed with cancer Paul Raynor at Rovers. -
That eight million looks quite good business.
-
£116m for a player with spoons for boots ;)
-
Well, I mean, he certainly needed all the protection he could get when dicking around at Forest.
-
Billy Sharp, one of only three likable Blunts in the known universe with One Decent and Sean Bastard, retires.
He. Hates. Derby.
-
Everybody's favourite ex-Forest Scouser Jack Robinson has joined the sheep. Perfect fit.

Wozza on a hat trick for Wrexham.
