Saw a pic on twitter of what they get at the Emirates. Looks like a 3 course meal. I don't understand it.

possible for visiting journalists

Every negative article results in the journalist responsible receiving one less vol au vont (sp?)

"Another defensive howler by <<ARSENAL_CENTRE_BACK>> saw Arsenal go a goal down against the run of play to relegation threatened <<****_TEAM_NAME>>"

a complete re-write
Luis Anaconda

but for a live report, they will file at half time and on the whistle possibly on 70 mins as well. Then rewrite for later editions. Unless you are Martin Samuel who was a bit good at it and could write it all in one

Mind you, I wouldn't have given anyone 4/10 in that game. Probably wouldn't have got to 4 if you'd added them all together, useless shower of ****e.
