Looks like we got ourselves a book reader..... ;-)

I wear glasses too. I'm just waiting for Pol Carl and his execution squad to come knocking on my door ...

Ha ha ha, very funny Nooly!

Back on to the thread...

Yes, Silva is pure class. He's our new Benarbia and as much fun to watch as that amazing little man was. The difference is we have Silva for his prime years. Wonderful!

[ant london]

He is magic.....so lovely to watch. Balance, strength, tenacity and gorgeous technique. I don't really know who is my favourite player these days but I think he's top 3 for sure

[Ted Hughes]

He is too essential & we need an alternative.

[johnny crossan]

I dropped my car keys at the game last night and Silva handed them in - magician

seriously many thanks to the person who found them

I'm sure you all can't wait to learn this, but it's not an umlaut. The two dots are called a trema, and it indicates that the letter underneath it should be pronounced on its own, as opposed to either being silent or being a part of a phoneme created in combination with the letter in front or behind it. You don't really use it in English, but it could, for instance, be used in coöperation, in order to show that the word should be pronounced co-operation, instead of coop-eration. In Agüero's case, the following applies:

In the orthographies of Spanish, Catalan, French, Galician and Occitan, the graphemes gu, and qu normally represent a single sound, [ɡ] or [k], before the front vowels e and i (or before nearly all vowels in Occitan). In the few exceptions where the u is pronounced, a trema is added to it.

I'm impressed Mr. N. But does it have anything to do with the number of goals he will score in every match ??

I think the whole stadium felt the trema when the second of his goals went in. (or maybe I mean tremor)

[Mike J]

my fave player. he makes the game look so easy.

[chef]

Reminds me of Big Dave's first game when the compare called it out exactly how you spelt it. Still makes me laugh.

ha ha , comedy gold... (or bronze)

[Curlie]

Thought Kun Aurum had a great debut.
Aurum! Did you see what I did there!

No.

[Curlie]

Universal name for gold, think it's latin or spanish.
Gold/silver.
Oh, I give up!

[Niall Quinns Discopants]

The word would be aureus in latin.

Nice try though.

This thread is comedy Au.

Surely aureus is the plural of aurei which means golden.
I could be wrong. All a bit rusty now.
