Have a break
ADDICTION: used in many contexts to describe an obsession, compulsion, or excessive physical dependence or psychological dependence.
Now I've got nothing against chocolate. I eat a Creme Egg in two swipes and I definitely wouldn't kick a Wispa out of my fridge.
But I certainly couldn't eat three in the time it takes you to listen to Kraftwerk's Autobahn (about 26 minutes).
Even two four-finger Kit-Kats in the space of half an hour is a bit much - not least when you're eyeing up the third one that's lying in front of you.
All of this makes you wonder how Tony Mowbray isn't more like John 'I'll never be one of those sad ex-footballers who works in the media (FourFourTwo, 1999)' Hartson?
Speaking of stomachs, I wouldn't be surprised to see some of Albion's so-called under-belly promoted to somewhere near the first-team.
Mowbray was waxing lyrical about Mulumbu - apparently nicknamed Makelele or Ukelele by his team-mates, he couldn't remember which - and Menseguez, who has good feet, although no mention about the texture, which is a slight worry.
The two impressed out in Spain, which is good news. I suspect we'll be seeing a little bit more of the duo.
Marek Cech to start on Sunday? It could yet happen. Mrs Robinson still hasn't given birth.
Finally, consider this, since clicking onto this page, Mowbray will have demolished the top layer of a Milk Tray.
Frightening.

Chris Lepkowski - Mail man Chris Lepkowski’s view of what’s going on at West Bromwich Albion FC.
Chris having just witnessed our pretty much non-
existant midfield at Fulham, i'd get Mulumba or
Ukelele or whatever they're calling him, into
the side for Everton next week. We were 2nd to
everything & couldn't pass water!
Whatever happened to that geezer that went to
Bolton that we were after (name sounded like
Ukelele)? Not heard anything of him since he
flattened a United player on his debut.
What a pity that Mowbray has also got an addiction to pretty but ineffective football combined with a defensive attitude that sets a new standard for naivete.
He's had nearly 3 years to rectify the problems and we're no nearer solving our defensive malaise as we we're after the QPR 3-3 home game.
More of this rubbish and he'll find a P45 tucked under that top layer of choc.
There are plenty of games left to play and I'm extremely confident that we'll avoid the drop. Valero just needs a bit more time to bed in and I fancy Luke Moore to come good.
Have a tenner on us staying up, I know I will.
Get behind the lads or eff of down the Wolves, chap.
Do they still make curly-wurlys? Haven't seen one for ages.
So Tony likes to treat himself to a chocolate bar now and again? So what! He deserves it.
Borja Valero. He will come good. He's a class act. He pulls all the strings in that midfield. You can't see it, but he's running the show.
Part of the problem is that your average west brom fan just isn't acustomed to watching a player of Borja's quality. Seriously, if he isn't scoring or providing an assistance every couple of games then he must be rubbish.
People should watch more closely.
We haven't had a central midfield pairing that worked since Wallwork and Richardson.
