      Maybe his old teammate Kennedy can help keep “Figgy” from acting like Twiggy – as he did at times last year. What a disappointment Figgins, and his sometimes rotten attitude, turned out to be last season. Of course, with the exception of Felix what wasn’t a disappointment last season?

      I doubt that Wedge will put up with any crap from Figgins or anyone else.
