Wow what a totally amazing product and company!!
I just had to tell everyone how brilliant this product is. I am Sienna trained and have tried various other spray and self tans, but nothing comes close to this. I was converted by friend who had brilliant training at Nouvtan and the tans she did looked completely amazing, they lasted for days. I trained to do spray tans a couple of years ago, as I suffered skin cancer so no more sunbeds for me and my family. I have literally just had another operation to cut more out. There is no other product for me. I text the staff to say even though I dont feel the best, I used the self tan mouse and my tan is looking wonderful.This tan only uses natural products and not tested on animals i couldnt think of a greater way to feel better. I feel like I have known the staff for ever, they are so so friendly and so hopeful. Thank you for "changing my Life"
Beautiful You

Cab Malbec Rose 13 Skillogalee 6/75(6x75cl)
The wine shows fresh raspberry and cranberry on the nose. The palate is fresh and lively, held together by a fine structure of natural acid and fine tannin balance.
Ch Lynch Bages 07 Pauillac 12/75(12x75cl)
On the nose, the freshness of the fruit stands out, finding subtle harmony with the wood. On the palate, it is rounded, smooth and mellowed. The tannins are silky and very ripe. The dazzling finish oozes with great class and is astonishingly long.
Artemis Cab Sauv 12 Stag's Leap 12/75(12x75cl)
Artemis is a voluptuous Cabernet Sauvignon blend made by world famous Stag's Leap Wine Cellars and named after a Greek goddess associated with the protection of wild animals, especially the sacred Stag. The wine itself offers inviting aromas of black cherry and plum with hints of vanilla, followed by a smooth, creamy palate of satin tannins and flavours of ripe mixed berries and blackcurrant. A touch of Merlot and a splash of Malbec add a deep complexity, as does 18 months resting in oak barrels.
Synchronicity 09 Meinert 6/75(6x75cl)
A big rich wine from South Africa that emanates wild berry and sweet plum aromas. Silky, velvety texture and elegance in the mouth that counterpoints its power.
Antu Ninquen Cab Carm 13 6/75(6x75cl)
Deliciously ripe fruit dominates the nose, supported with spicy vanilla notes. The palate is full and concentrated but rounded and easily approachable, offering dense blackcurrant fruit, smoky oak flavours and fine grained tannin on the finish.
Philip Toscana IGT Rosso 09 Mazzei 6/75(6x75cl)
Full, ripe and intriguing body, long taste with pleasant and fresh aftertaste.
Galvo Garage Cab 09 d'Arenberg 6/75(6x75cl)
The nose is lifted, fragrant and inviting, cassis and blueberry are evident without being dominant. This allows the tomato vine, herb and leafy earthiness to play an equal part of what is a complex aroma.
The palate is savoury, spicy and elegant. It's deep and dark with rhubarb adding to the fruit spectrum and sitting alongside a subtle violet nuance and savoury elements of dark chocolate and dried herbs. There is no explosion of fruit, but rather an elegant and gradual building of complexity with persistent mineral, chalky tannins providing authoritative, balanced structure.
El Viento Cabernet Sauv 14 Leyda 6/75(6x75cl)
Deep, dark Cabernet Sauvignon with black cherry and rich cassis flavours. Sumptuous and luscious flavours of ripe berries on the palate.
Chateau Mille Roses 11 Haut Medoc 6/75(6x75cl)
Raspberries and marzipan on the nose with dense layers of very fine tannins on a medium body with lovely freshness. Serious, but with a very light touch.

About the hotel
Eriskay is a family run guesthouse situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in the centre of the Highland town of Aviemore. Aviemore is a popular tourist destination, and with good reason. Lying in the middle of "Monarch of The Glen Country", within the Cairngorms National Park and at the foot of the Cairngorm Mountains, it offers a great range of outdoor activities.
Bird watching (notably Ospreys) climbing, hill walking, fishing, stalking, skiing, Strathspey Steam Railway, water sports (on Loch Morlich and Loch Insh) or touring around some of the most beautiful countryside in the Highlands of Scotland are just a few of the pastimes you can enjoy on your holiday. Eriskay is also an ideal base to tour the Highlands from, with Skye, Fort William, Inverness and Loch Ness all being within easy reach. We have 3 rooms in the main house as well as 4 accommodation eco-pods in the garden. Rooms are sold on a room only basis with the option to purchase breakfast at £5. 00 per head. We are approximately 10 minutes walk from the train station and buses run from just around the corner to the ski slopes.

Excellent service from a family friendly home
Myself and my son stayed for a skiing trip to the cairngorms.
The accomodation was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The highlight of the stay there was the amazing service we received. They could not do enough to support and make our stay a special occasion, they were more than happy to take the initiative to go that bit extra to make our stay easier and more comfortable with their local knowledge and contacts. On this visit we ended up there randomly from a google search, next time it will be totally deliberate as this is the best place to stay when visiting Aviemore.

Real Men Write~Yusef Shakur
March's MBC Feature: Yusef Shakur @FromDaBottomUp #MWN
In the 2nd edition of The Window 2 My Soul, Yusef Shakur invites readers to explore his remarkable journey of tragedy, triumph, and transformation. Yusef accounts the experiences of growing up in a single parent household that was plagued with alcohol and physical abuse. By the tender age of thirteen, Yusef would co-found one of Detroit's most notorious street gangs Zone 8. Yusef highlights his rambunctious youth with gripping moments, such as being expelled from all Detroit Public Schools while being charged with numerous violent assaults and attempted murder. In prison before the age of 20, Shakur would meet behind bars the father he never knew.

Vikings is an Irish-Canadian historical drama television series written and created by Michael Hirst for the television channel History. Filmed in Ireland, it premiered on 3 March 2013 in the United States and Canada.[1]
Vikings is inspired by the sagas of Viking Ragnar Lothbrok, one of the best-known legendary Norse heroes and notorious as the scourge of England and France. It portrays Ragnar as a former farmer who rises to fame by successful raids into England, and eventually becomes king of Denmark, with the support of his family and fellow warriors: his brother Rollo, his son Bjorn Ironside, and his wives—the shieldmaiden Lagertha and the princess Aslaug.
The third season of Vikings premiered on 19 February 2015, and the series was renewed for a fourth season on 26 March 2015.[2]
The series is inspired by the tales of the raiding, trading, and exploring Norsemen of early medieval Scandinavia. It follows the exploits of the legendary Viking chieftain Ragnar Lothbrok and his crew and family, as notably laid down in the 13th century sagas Ragnars saga Loðbrókar and Ragnarssona þáttr, as well as in Saxo Grammaticus's 12th century work Gesta Danorum. Norse legendary sagas were partially fictional tales based in Norse oral tradition, written down about 200 to 400 years after the events they describe. Further inspiration is taken from historical sources of the period, such as records of the Viking raid on Lindisfarne depicted in the second episode, or Ahmad ibn Fadlan's 10th-century account of the Volga Vikings. The series is set at the beginning of the Viking Age, marked by the Lindisfarne raid in 793.

An Irish-Canadian co-production, Vikings was developed and produced by Octagon Films and Take 5 Productions.[1] Michael Hirst, Morgan O'Sullivan, John Weber, Sherry Marsh, Alan Gasmer, James Flynn and Sheila Hockin are credited as executive producers.[1] The first season's budget has been reported as $40 million USD.[10]
The series began filming in July 2012 at Ashford Studios, a newly built studio facility in Ireland,[11] chosen as a location for its tax advantages.[10] On 16 August 2012, longship scenes were filmed at Luggala, as well as on the Poulaphouca Reservoir, in the heart of the Wicklow Mountains.[12] 70 percent of the first season was filmed outdoors.[10] Some additional background shots were done in western Norway.
Johan Renck,[13] Ciarán Donnelly and Ken Girotti each directed three episodes. The production team includes cinematographer John Bartley, costume designer Joan Bergin, production designer Tom Conroy, composer Trevor Morris and Irish choir Crux Vocal Ensemble, directed by Paul McGough.
According to actor Clive Standen (Rollo), future seasons may feature characters such as Alfred the Great, Leif Ericson, and Ivar the Boneless, as well as travels to Iceland, Russia, France, and across the Atlantic.[14]
On 5 April 2013, History renewed Vikings for a ten-episode second season.[15]
Two new series regulars were announced on 11 June 2013. Alexander Ludwig, portraying the teenage Björn, and Linus Roache, playing King Ecbert of Wessex.[16] Season 2 will undergo a jump in time, aging the young Bjorn (Nathan O'Toole) into an older swordsman portrayed by Ludwig. According to reports, the older Bjorn will not have seen his father, Ragnar, for "a long period of time." Lagertha will have remarried to a powerful Jarl, a stepfather who provides harsh guidance to Bjorn.[17]
Several Swedish media sources reported that actors Edvin Endre, son of renowned Swedish actress Lena Endre [18] of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Wallander fame and Anna Åström, who recently co-starred with Gustaf Skarsgård [19] in controversial Swedish language film Vi, had signed up for roles in season two.
Jeff Woolnough[20] (Copper, Bones) and Kari Skogland (The Borgias) joined Ken Girotti and Ciaran Donnelly as directors of season 2.[21]
Michael Hirst announced plans for Season 4 before Season 3 had begun airing.[22] Season 4 began production around the Dublin area in April 2015.[23]
Finnish actors Peter Franzén (The Gunman) and Jasper Pääkkönen (Frozen Land, Secret Lives) as well as Canadian actress Dianne Doan (Once Upon a Time) will have recurring roles in season 4. Franzén will play Norwegian King Harald Finehair, a potential rival to Ragnar. Pääkkönen is set to play Halfdan the Black, Finehair's father. Doan will portray Yidu, a Chinese character who will have a major role in the new season.[24]
Vikings premiered on 3 March 2013 in Canada[25] and the United States,[11] where episodes are also available on the History channel's website.
In the UK, Vikings premiered on 24 May 2013 where it is exclusively available on the streaming video-on-demand service LoveFilm.[26] The second season premiered on 24 March 2015.[27] The third season began airing on 20 February 2015 on Amazon Video.[28]
In Australia, the series premiered on 8 August 2013 on SBS One.[29] It was later moved to FX, which debuted the second season on 4 February 2015.[30] Season 3 of Vikings began broadcasting in Australia on SBS One on 19 March 2015.[31]
The series received very favourable ratings by critics after the first episode had aired, with an average rating of 71% according to Metacritic.[32] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix praised the series' casting, notably of Fimmel as Ragnar, and observed that Vikings "isn't complicated. It (...) relies on the inherent appeal of the era and these characters to drive the story."[33] Nancy DeWolf Smith of The Wall Street Journal noted the "natural and authentic" setting and costumes, and appreciated that Vikings was (unlike, e.g., Spartacus) not a celebration of sex and violence, but "a study of character, stamina, power and (...) of social, emotional and even intellectual awakening".[34] Hank Stuever, writing for the Washington Post, found that the "compelling and robust new drama series (...) delivers all the expected gore and blood spatter". But he also wrote that it successfully adapted the skills of cable television drama, with the care taken in acting, writing and sense of scope reminiscent of such series as Rome, Sons of Anarchy and Game of Thrones. He also suggested that the way the series emphasized "a core pride and nobility in this tribe of thugs" reflected "just another iteration of Tony Soprano".[35] Neil Genzlinger, in The New York Times, praised the "arresting" cinematography and the actors' performances, notably Fimmel's, and favourably compared Vikings to Game of Thrones and Spartacus for the absence of gratuitous nudity.[36]
In TIME, James Poniewozik noted that the relatively simple generational conflict underlying Vikings "doesn't nearly have the narrative ambition of a Game of Thrones or the political subtleties of a Rome", nor these series' skill with dialogue, but that it held up pretty well compared to the "tabloid history" of series like The Tudors and The Borgias. He concluded that "Vikings' larger story arc is really more about historical forces" than about its not very complex characters.[37] Clark Collis of Entertainment Weekly appreciated the cast's performance, but considered Vikings "kind of a mess", lacking the intrigue of The Tudors and Game of Thrones.[38] Brian Lowry criticized the series in Variety as an "unrelenting cheese-fest" and as a "more simpleminded version of 'Game of Thrones'", but considered it to achieve "a level of atmosphere and momentum that makes it work as a mild diversion".[39] In the San Francisco Chronicle, David Wiegand was disappointed by the series' "glacial pace" and lack of action as well as by the "flabby direction and a gassy script", while appreciating the performances and characters.[40]
The second season received a Metacritic rating of 77% and a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 92% based on 12 professional critic reviews.
According to Nielsen, the series premiere drew 6 million viewers in the U.S., topping all broadcast networks among 18-to-49 year olds. An earlier claim of over 18 million viewers was later retracted by the channel with an apology.[41][42]
In Canada, the premiere was watched by 1.1 million viewers. The first season has averaged 942,000 viewers.[43]
Some critics have pointed out historical inaccuracies in the series' depiction of Viking society. Lars Walker, in the magazine The American Spectator, criticized its portrayal of Viking Age government (in the person of Earl Haraldson) as autocratic rather than essentially democratic.[44] Joel Robert Thompson criticized the show's depiction of the Norse peoples' supposed ignorance of the existence of Britain and Ireland, and the use of the death penalty instead of outlawry (skoggangr) as a punishment for heinous crimes.[45]
Monty Dobson, a historian at Central Michigan University, criticised the show's depictions of Viking Age clothing, but went on to state that fictional shows like Vikings could still be a useful teaching tool.[46] The Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten reported that the series incorrectly depicted the temple at Uppsala as a stave church in the mountains, whereas the historical temple was situated on flat land and stave churches were a hallmark of later Christian architecture in Scandinavia.[47] On the other hand, the temple as depicted in the show does have similarities with the reconstructions of the Uppåkra hof. The show also portrays a crucifixion of a prominent character instigated by a Christian bishop near Wessex, apparently as a standard punishment for apostasy - an event that may or may not have a basis in historical fact, as Emperor Constantine officially outlawed crucifixion in the 4th century.[48]
Regarding the historical accuracy of the show, showrunner Michael Hirst comments that "I especially had to take liberties with 'Vikings' because no one knows for sure what happened in the Dark Ages" and that "we want people to watch it. A historical account of the Vikings would reach hundreds, occasionally thousands, of people. Here we've got to reach millions."[49] When Katheryn Winnick was asked why she licked the seer's hand she answered "It wasn't originally in the script and we just wanted to come up with something unique and different".[50]
Zenescope partnered with the History Channel to create a free Vikings comic book based on the series. It was first distributed at Comic-Con 2013 and by comiXology in February 2014.[51][52] The comic was written by Michael Hirst, features interior artwork by Dennis Calero (X-Men Noir), and is set before the events of season 1. In addition to featuring Ragnar and Rollo battling alongside their father, the comic depicts the brothers' first encounter with Lagertha.[52]

Report on Gunners on International Duty
Nothing much really happens during an international break, except when a Fantasy Football Manager like me is in anguish because five of my 'players' got injured during the break, and with me wisely making my transfers before the break, I'm the 'f' in the word f*cked. Enough about me and my FPL shenanigans for a minute. As an Arsenal fan, it was good seeing the lads do well for their respective nations and most importantly, stay fit, because there have been a couple of high-profile casualties during this window.
Here's a detailed report on the Gunners that featured for their respective nations.
Olivier Giroud
Giroud has found himself on the fringes at Arsenal lately, no thanks to Theo Walcott's blistering form but he would be proud to have notched up his 11th and 12th goal for France in their 2-1 win over Denmark. Both goals were close range finishes that was bread and butter stuff for the big Frenchman but we have seen him miss them too you know. He also featured in France's whitewash of Armenia but he made a late substitute appearance.
Mesut Ozil
It was good seeing Ozil get back on the scoring act in Arsenal's emphatic win over Manchester United but he played 180 minutes in Germany's games this window. He was part of the German team that narrowly lost to the Republic of Ireland and he managed to claim an assist for Max Kruse in the 2-1 win over Georgia.
Wojciech Szczesny
Szczesny spent the entire time at the dugout as Poland grabbed a draw against Scotland in their first game before defeating the Republic of Ireland thanks to the red-hot Robert Lewandowski. That guy is in the form of his life at the moment and it can only get better. To think we are facing him soon :(
Alex Iwobi
Iwobi played in the last 11 minutes of Nigeria's impressive 3-0 win over rivals, Cameroon. Goals from Efe Ambrose, Simon Moses and Watford's Odion Ighalo settled the contest.
Santi Cazorla
The diminutive magician was on the bench in Spain's slender win over Ukraine but he got in on the scoring act in the demolition of Luxembourg. It's been a while since Cazorla scored, especially with his new withdrawn role in the club so it must have been nice for the Spaniard to get the opportunity to kiss those his tattoos again, as it has become his tradition when he finds the back of the net.
Kieran Gibbs, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Walcott and the Ox featured in the win over Estonia with Walcott even getting a goal to continue his good run of form. However, Walcott remained on the bench as the Three Lions defeated Lithuania yesterday. The Ox managed to get a goal and Gibbs got 90 minutes under his belt. Games have been hard to come by for the defender, with Nacho Monreal in such fine form.
Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean hotshot is back to his scintillating best with six goals in his last three games but he suffered a groin injury that was meant to have prevented him for featuring for his beloved Chile. However, there's no stopping Alexis, as he played all 90 minutes in Chile's win over Brazil and he even scored the match clincher. Alexis is odds on to feature in Chile's match against Peru tonight.
David Ospina
Since his horror show against Olympiakos, one wonders when Ospina would get some game time for the Gunners again but I have a hunch that he would be in goal when the Gunners visit Sheffield Wednesday in the Capital One Cup fourth round. However, Ospina kept a clean sheet in Colombia's 2-0 win over Peru and will be in goal again when they visit Uruguay for what would be a daunting fixture for Jose Pekerman's men.
Joel Campbell
Campbell featured in his country's disappointing loss to South Africa and he would play a crest-fallen USA that recently lost their Conferederation Cup playoff spot to Mexico in a pulsating encounter.
Aaron Ramsey
Ramsey can beat his chest that he was part of the Welsh team that made history by qualifying for the European Championships for the first time in 57 years. Despite their 2-0 loss to Bosnia, Wales had done enough to secure qualification to this summer's show piece in France. Ramsey will be part of the Welsh side that hosts minnows, Andorra, tonight.
Petr Cech
Cech watched in anguish from the bench as his team lost at home to Turkey. He will return in goal when the Czech visit the Dutch in what would be one hell of a match.
It's good to know that most of the players have returned to North London unscathed and I certainly hope that Alexis and Ramsey would be free of any injuries after their matches tonight.

Quick Roundup of Gunners Called up for International Duty
The international break is here again as various players would be leaving their respective clubs to feature for their countries in some qualifiers and pointless friendly matches. Here is a full breakdown of the Arsenal players that have been called up to represent their nations in the international fixtures this weekend.
England: Kieran Gibbs, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Gibbs has found first team football hard to come by this season thanks to the form of Nacho Monreal but he was called up nonetheless as England is set to face Estonia and Lithuania in their remaining Euro 2016 qualifiers. With Luke Shaw and Leighton Baines out injured, Gibbs might use this opportunity to show what he's made of for his nation. The Ox has had a hot and cold campaign thus far and if the cross bar was a few inches higher, he would have scored Arsenal's fourth goal against Manchester United. Everyone's eyes would be on Theo Walcott that has finally come of age at Arsenal, and his recent performances have been exceptional to say the least.
Germany: Mesut Ozil and Serge Gnabry
With Per Mertesacker now retired and Lukas Podolski flushed out to Galatasaray, Arsenal's only German contingent is Mesut Ozil and it was good to see the schemer finally get off the mark for the season with a beautiful finish against Manchester United. Serge Gnabry is also a German playing for the Gunners but he hasn't come of age yet. Sadly, he hardly features for the Baggies since he was loaned out. Gnabry is set to feature for the Germany U-21s in their qualifiers against Finland U-21s and Faroe Islands U-21s.
Ozil is set to be involved in Germany's qualifiers against Ireland and Georgia.
France: Olivier Giroud
With Laurent Koscielny suffering from a hamstring injury, Didier Deschamps has called up Olivier Giroud for France's friendlies against Armenia and Lord Nicklas Bendtner's Denmark. Deschamps has recently spoken about Giroud's confidence and he's hoping his striker can get more playing time at Arsenal but with Walcott in such good form, it would take some stuffing from the French forward to displace him. Giroud ended a personal drought with his goal against Leicester but he had a fairly good chance to get on the score sheet against Manchester United. Sadly, he missed it.
Colombia: David Ospina
Ospina is a man short of confidence following his blunder against Olympiakos. I'd expect him to feature in the Capital One Cup clash with Sheffield Wednesday but he has joined his teammates for the qualifiers against Peru and Uruguay. I hope he keeps a clean sheet or two.
Wales: Aaron Ramsey
Arsenal's tireless workhorse has had a shitty spell in front of goal this season and he'd be hoping to be on the score sheet when Wales takes on Bosnia and Andorra. Andorra has always been traditional whopping boys like San Marino and I really hope that Ramsey scores a goal or two there.
Chile: Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean hotshot is back to his very best at Arsenal with his goal tally of six goals in three games but he sustained a groin injury towards the end of the game. However, he was been called up by Chile for the qualifiers against Brazil and Peru.
Spain: Santi Cazorla and Hector Bellerin
Cazorla's new role in the team will not see him grab the back pages for scoring goals or creating assists but his importance to the team is unrivaled. However, at Spain, Cazorla has been on the fringes for as long as I can remember. I hope he gets a good run out in the qualifiers against Luxembourg and Ukraine. Bellerin has been called up by the Under-21s for their qualifiers against Georgia U-21s and Sweden U-21s.
Costa Rica: Joel Campbell
Campbell hasn't lighted any fireworks since he returned back to the club and he has featured sparingly as you'd expect from a player that isn't trusted fully by the manager. However, he's a mainstay in the Costa Rica squad and he's set to feature in the friendlies against South Africa and U.S.A.
Czech Republic: Petr Cech
Petr Cech returned in goal against Manchester United and kept another clean sheet, which brings him ever closer to the clean sheet record held by David James. He has been called up by his nation for the qualifiers against Turkey and the Netherlands.
Nigeria: Alex Iwobi
It's pleasing to know that a fellow Nigerian, Alex Iwobi, who's also the legendary Jay Jay Okocha's nephew, has been called up by Sunday Oliseh for the friendlies against Congo and Cameroon. I'm looking forward to seeing the lad in action.
I hope our players come back unscathed.

Alexis Continues his Hot Streak as Arsenal Thrash the Red Devils
Arsenal 3 (Alexis 6′, 20′, Ozil 7′) – Manchester United 0
Match Report – Match Highlights – Post-Match Press Conference (via Arsenal.com)
We needed a response from that horror show against Olympiakos and it couldn't come any bigger than Manchester United, a side that simply knows how to best Arsenal. They play good, they beat us, we play better, they beat us, in their shitetest of days, they somehow beat us. But this time, we were not taking any prisoners.
Nacho Monreal knew that a strong start was vital and boy, did the Gunners have the strongest of starts. Theo Walcott has been a revelation since he made the center forward role his for the taking and on the back of this display, Olivier Giroud is set to spend quite some time on the fringes to the English speedster. Walcott created two assists in the space on one minute for Alexis Sanchez that sent the ball home with the cheekiest of finishes you'd ever see and Mesut Ozil that left David de Gea rooted to the spot. Alexis completed the blitz with another trademark sensational strike that smashed the top corner of de Gea's net. The commentator even went ahead to see that two goalies wouldn't have saved that effort.
That was some mesmerizing attacking display from the Gunners and Alexis almost created a fourth goal for Aaron Ramsey but the Welshman's finish was pathetic to say the least. If it was the Ramsey of the 2013/14 season, the net would have rippled. Ramsey is one player that has divided opinion this season with his deployment on the right flank but when you consider that his real replacement in Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is quite inconsistent, as well as the 'work' Ramsey puts in, you'd feel he's more or less a better option there. Credit to Hector Bellerin as well, that marauds the flank with such consummate ease.
Despite Arsenal's virtuoso performances in attack, the defense must be equally lauded for their contributions. Petr Cech proved his worth with some splendid saves as the game progressed and I can't think of any better save than Cech's effort to stop Anthony Martial's shot from hitting the back of the net. The stats boys even tell us that the Gunners have failed to concede a goal in any Premier League game Gabriel Paulista has featured and there's no doubting those stats people. They take their shit quite serious.
The only downside though was seeing Alexis hold his groin like he had twanged something. With the international break coming up, one would think that the Chilean would stay back in London to get some rest but Wenger has already confirmed that the hotshot would travel to Chile to join up with his teammates. Sanchez likes him some Arsenal but he loves him some Chile. Just when the critics were out for the Chilean, he hits six goals in three games.
I'm starting to feel really sad for Watford because the Alexis Sanchez juggernaut has started running, and with this form, it can only get better.
I just hope that we won't suffer any injuries in the break.
