    15/15 - I've rewarded my manager's faith in me.

    I'd never heard the 'embryonic league table' one, but like all good strikers I instinctively knew where the goal was.

    Me too. I put string and it said it was raft.
    A raft of call-offs is absolutely textbook.

    I was surprised none of them came from left field, but they set their stall out and you can only answer what's in front of you.

    It really bothers me that because I'm right-footed, I'm ineligible to have the word 'cultured' applied to me, particularly when I've just launched another perfect Zambernardi diagonal ball at five-a-sides.

    110% of 15 is 16.5.

    Unfortunately, 'giving approximately 107%' isn't a cliché.

    Someone above said they hoped to get 16 because they gave 110%. The numbers don't stack up.

    yeah it was me! As you correctly say 16.5/15 is 110%, and I know you can't get 16.5 out of 15.....but then you can't get 16 out of 15 either
