Happy New Year!  Resolutions firmly in place and raring to start the whole ‘new year, new you’ thing?  Excellent.  We here at the Vocal Minority aren’t big on resolutions, but we do have an entirely new set of player rankings for you to enjoy over the next few weeks – you know while you’re at the gym, or at home binge watching Black Mirror or The Crown, we don’t judge.  All of the entries (thank you...
