If only the Germans had a word for schadenfreude.

Meh. Keeper was deliberately blocked.

Hardly a Dibble really.

"Hoist with his own petard" is a quote from Hamlet. In this instance a Petard is a small explosive device, a type of bomb. The name ultimately derives from the French for fart, as you have said.

He's a solid if unspectacular upper league player. He plays the way that he's told to play. He would be a very useful addition but it all depends on what attributes our manager decides that he needs. Who else have you got?

I am so relieved that I closed my business in Hamble and don't have to travel there any more. Local democracy overridden by corporate greed.
