Serious question Tim. Did that look perfect and make sense when you pressed the publish button?

I've run it through Babelfish to Dutch and back (correcting the typos beforehand). It makes a bit more sense.

That report is seriously funny. Are all those spelling mistakes simply there for the reaction? They have to be.

Grammar, spelling and randomly jumping tenses aside, articles are greatly improved by the use of quotes, rather than "Gus told me" and a paraphrase of what he said. Try taking along a recording device of some description next time.

The pity is that the couple of other articles I read on there (obviously written by other authors) were relatively well written and certainly readable, unlike HB&B's nonsense.

I see that the article has now been edited, with at least paragraphs and commas added.

Classic stuff, HBB.

"However he did singled out ex England keeper David James as a key player."

If you had infinite monkeys and infinite typewriters, one of them would inadvertently type this out - he then would stare blankly at his own page for a few seconds before all the others started pelting faeces at it.

Don't think he needs a recording device. Can't be hard to remember or type "I asked Gus some questions. He didn't answer any of them".

I've translated it from nonsense to Estonian, from Estonian to English, from English to Welsh, from Welsh to Icelandic and then back to English. It's more readable although we appear to be managed by Gus Moyes who is clearly an cybernetic hybrid made from parts of Gus Poyet and David Moyes. Everton are now managed by David Poyet who's been made from the remaining parts.

Gus Moyes said this morning did not want to get into Norwich, amid rumors that the company was interested in the Norfolk Gulls midfielder Liam Bridcutt.

Specualation Moyes said his attitude was really only a rumor, a fact that he did not until his son told him about it yesterday.

Opponents Bristol City on Saturday, said Gulls head, I think they were not better or worse than any other team playing in Albion.

In fact, the game can be a bit tedious at times, as the two teams are close.

But it did highlight the England goalkeeper David James.

I asked Gus about the potential benefits of Albion, Jon Stead, but Gus said that there were many rumors flying around, one is gold, were interested in Aaron Maclean althougth, they could not necessarily afford it. It explained to me may be looking at a player who gives physical presence.

When asked Lewis dip, Moyes first said jokingly that she could not apply for a Real Madrid player, but added that he and Adam El Abd was training today to prepare for Saturday.

It may also be absent, depending on the number of avaiable development squad who appeared in Wrexham, can be part of Saturday.

When asked about the status of player salaries again, we were told that the manager is really a matter of a chair.

"However he did singled out ex England keeper David James as a key player"

"When asked about the situation re player wages , we were told by the manager that was really a question for the Chairman"

I would be ashamed to have handed that in at GCSE level..

Come on you lot, quit messing with him.

After all, it can't be easy writing that on an iPad2 when you've only had it since just before Xmas without instructions, and whilst going on holiday, leaving a dog on his own.

I have sent the article to a friend who teaches English. She informs me it's a perfect piece of writing to set a homework competition to ascertain who can spot the most mistakes.

As far as the content goes, I take it there's no news coming out of club regards anything.

Serious question.

How does a two bob site with reporters like that, get a place in the Albion press conference?

What are the standards set by the club?

There are gorillas in the mountains of Rwanda, that have a better grasp of the English langugae than that.
