This is where we discuss our new captain in more detail right?
I think to me Mings epitomizes the "new England" (team), that strong will, unbreakable fortitude under strife (Bulgaria, Patel, Johnson, EDL gammon). He is articulate and compassionate, and a tough bastard when needed.
Rose tinted glasses, but he's definitely lost a lot of the "oh **** he's gonna do something wobbly here lads". Arguably composed.
He knows what an encyclopedia is, he reads the Guardian and is irritated by the misspellings. He wants to present Have I Got News for You.
I'm going too far now ...
