Wickham and Zaha were not drunk and appeared perfectly sober according to the OP's report. No problem there then. Chamakh is injured/recovering and not yet in the first team plans so has a week or two where his training, if any right now, is not intense. No problem there then. The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made. Groucho Marx
