I''m no expert, but for me, this sounds better -The former Ipswich front man enjoyed a successful stay on loan at Carrow Road at the end of last season, scoring twice in seven games.

Graham Humphrey 13 Posted June 30, 2009 Because a seven-game spell in which we won once and he scored twice can hardly be described as successful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroyslefteyebrow 0 Posted June 30, 2009 It''s a simple error involving the cursed spell check.Where you read the word ''enable'' replace it with ''unable'' and the whole thing makes sense.''enable'' is a genuine word and therefore wouldn''t get the green wiggly line underneath it in Office.Still poor that no one bothered to proof read it though.

g00se 33 Posted June 30, 2009 [quote user="Jim Kent"]It should read weren''t able to keep Norwich in the Championship.[/quote]Pedant alert: :)It should not read like that either as the use of apostrophes for abbreviation is for informal speech and not written text. It should be something like "Were not able to keep..." or even better: "Were unable to keep...". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
