    If Cavani were starting ahead of Ronaldo today, Bruno would win the captaincy poll.

    Kane 1 goal
    Ronaldo 1 goal from the bench
    Lukaku brace ( oh captain my captain)

    Well. That’s that then. Good luck everyone. No getting away from it … it’s all about CR7 …. As a non-owner I really, really, really hope all the talk at 5pm is how he got a nice round of applause when he came off the bench for his 1 point cameo. I fearfully think I know better than that though.
