as usual

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'like us you i say have almost all' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'as is normal' is the wordplay.
'is normal' becomes 'usual' (I've seen this in another clue).
'as'+'usual'='AS USUAL'

'just' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for as usual that I've seen before include "'In the normal way (2,5)'" , "Predictably" , "In line with practice" , "Customarily" , "in typical fashion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
