Arshavin's not a Pole, he's a Russian, regardless of the time of year.

This isn't a high-horse rant before you all get pernickety and find examples in my posts like fake to Ronaldo!
Murf, you racist - that's how you spell the word where i live.
FISO lives in England as do most defences.

Maybe we can tweak the filter to allow 'defence' on the Fantasy Padded-up Eggchasing forum :idea:

defence is a valid British English spelling - in fact it's the correct spelling I believe, as are all the similar words that end ...ense

I like the alternative/humorous versions of players names like CR7, TH14, RVP, Oblongdoor, Cashley, Did he say dog poo etc.... :D
Can't see any harm in a bit of creativity here and there.


No idea who this Joe plays for though! :?

Please, please, please. This one really bugs me. We are an English/British forum so why does everyone have to use US spellings. You just look thick.....
