THE STARTING 11: Reasons Why There Is No Starting 11
The Starting 11. It’s a feature that I have been writing faithfully and on a (mostly) weekly basis since 2009 – first on a little site called The Yorkies and now here. All in all, that’s about 3,850 quips about TFC that have drawn people to these sites in the dozen.
