Just You Wait, Henry Winter, Just You Wait!

Our Henry's been at it again. Here's his latest misuse of "enervated" from his report in the Daily Telegraph on a Premier League match between Bolton and Chelsea:

"The Bolton public soon began to become enervated at the antics of Mikel, who twice went down far too easily."

Henry, enervated means weakened or spiritless. May I suggest you try "agitated" or "enraged"?

I suppose we should be thankful for small mercies. At least, public-school educated Winters didn't embarrass himself as much as those two twats at Sky Sports, Andy Gray and the truly awful Richard Keys.

Not content with making moronic comments about a female assistant referee (that's a linesman in old money), the dire duo proceeded to plumb their vast reservoirs of ignorance by calling Law XI of the game the offiside "rule" and castigating fit Welsh lass Sian Massey for making a poor offside call, when replays showed that it was in fact spot on.

What is the world coming to?

Gray sacked for asking assistant to tuck his dick in. Keys set to follow. Some sad f*ck at Sky must have it in for these two. Sky happy to lose them, refusing all calls to investigate the leaks.
