Friendlyitis.....

Post by murf »

RVP is the biggest name in term of points potential* to pull out so far: 'toe and groin' (probably best to assume the injuries were picked up separately and not speculate on any single incident that could have caused them.....)

(* unless you are playing Scrabble** where Boaz Myhill could get you more, especially if you put the z on a triple letter score)


(** I know you can't use real names in Scrabble)

surely if you used his whole name rather than his initials you could get a fairly decent score

I haven't actually worked it out

you aren't allowed multiple words in scrabble anyway, it's not a crossword

although you could separately have Robin and Van which is more than you could do with Boaz and MyHill

although you could have My and Hill

You could legally use 'robin' or 'hill' (or 'van' or 'my')

Robin would win on points

Caveat: Subject to double word slash letter score combo action

We should just fill the dullness of the international break with a comp to find the highest scoring legitimate scrabble score from a footballer's name......

Maybe I shouldn't suggest that and encourage people

you can have 40 bonus because I just remembered Chamberlain gets an extra 50 for being 7+ letters

If the international break had been over Easter, and Chelsea were playing Stoke on Saturday I wonder if Costa would have made a spectacular recovery.
Nah, I am sure Jose would do everything he could to help Vicente del Bosque.

considering Costa came off at 2-2 in a game Chelsea needed to win I think it is fair to assume he has a genuine injury plus he did join the Spain squad who have confirmed they have performed their own tests and concluded he should go back for treatment.

wouldn't suggest this is necessarily Mourinho mind games at work.
