Fair enough Bob, I understand why you corrected it. Possibly changing the word question to friendly advice might have solved it.

Yeah, I realised it wasn’t a question, but I found it really, really hard to turn that statement into a question. I mean, I know what plagarism means. I know what transcends means. And I know I’m a pedantic fuss-pot with nothing better to do than to pick up on other people’s mistakes. So really, there was no way I could turn that into a question. But to keep the balance of the comment, I had to call it a question. So I had very little choice.

Faye has not been included in the Senegal team sheet and neither has Lauren for Cameroon. I suspect they are both victims of long term injuries.

Additionally, Bob, did you intend to ask me a question? It seems as if you did, but there was no question mark.

Bob,

Fair enough, you understood what I meant though, otherwise wouldn’t have commented in such a way

Song went back to Charlton? I haven’t been on top of ins and outs, but the Arseal website doesn’t say anything about a loan. And with Eboue and Toure at the cup, and Gilberto rumoured to leave, we’re a little short at CB. We’ll need Song for backup.

Alas, I’m nowhere near the beaches of Ipanema. I just wanted the most ridiculous handle I could think of (and I think I succeeded). And if you inculde SEX in your blurb, you’d expect a little bit of titilation. Otherwise it’s false advertising.

I’m Ipanema Bob.

Andrei,

Newcastle will also be missing Abdoulaye Faye, who has generally been very good for the Toon this season as a CB or as a DM. So that’s two defenders and perhaps the two best that we have right now. I’d say the damage is medium/high if not high for NUFC.

Bob, Song is not with Arsenal. I did include him in my draf, but later reasearch showed that he is actually on loan at Charlton Athletic.

You actually have a thing for pictures of girls don’t you. I though you were from Ipanema. Surely there are plenty of gorgeous girls living on the same street as you, now isn’t that better than the old, 2D thing?

Anthony, I think that if you want to get hold of Ahmed, you should mail him rather than post a comment on an article which he has already read and on which he is unlikely to return.

Oh, and there was another article a week or so ago that said January was the perfect time for the ANC, because it’s the only month of reliably good weather over the entire continent. June/July is monsoon weather in some countries, apparantly. And the AFC have the right to schedule their competition when it suits them.
