  • Liverpool Autographs Keep Kop Flag Flying
    May 07, 2010 12:39 BST Liverpool autographs keep Kop flag flying Sports Idols is treating fans and collectors to eye-popping Liverpool autographs from past successes: the legendary Phil Thompson has lent his signature to several new pieces of Liverpool memorabilia; and all-time player-manager great Kenny Dalglish sees his John Hancock grace the 2009- 2010 end of season stocklist too. Dalglish, whose Liverpool record has more winning numbers on it than a multi-million pound lottery ticket (8 League Championship wins; 2 FA Cups; 3 European Cups; 4 League Cups; and 1 European Super Cup), exemplifies the “Never Walk Alone” spirit of Anfield. A fact that is sure to make Dalglish-signed Liverpool memorabilia number one in these faltering times. It’s not all bad, mind – there are plenty of clubs who aren’t even in Europe. And Sports Idols isn’t neglecting the current squad in their 2010 Liverpool football memorabilia collections: fans will find Liverpool autographs from Fernando Torres; Steven Gerrard; Xabi Alonso; Dirk Kuyt; Ryan Babel; Javier Mascherano; Jamie Carragher; Glen Johnson; and Albert Riera. In some cases (Gerrard, for example), Sports Idols selection of Liverpool memorabilia runs impressively wider: anyone who wants to own a genuine signed Steven Gerrard boot better get their skates on before the season ends and Liverpool’s most famous current hero flies off to South Africa. Which brings us to another little point. Liverpool memorabilia is always attractive (obviously) to Liverpool fans – signed Steven Gerrard memorabilia crosses boundaries with collectors of England souvenirs. This year is the year that England try, once again, to do something memorable in international competition (the triumph, some might say, of hope over experience): should they actually succeed, Liverpool football memorabilia featuring players from the current England squad will hit a new level of value.

Italy had taken the lead through an Ernie Brandts own goal but Brandts himself restored parity before Arie Haan struck the Netherlands' winner. • Italy have held the upper hand over the ensuing three decades, during which they have recorded two draws and six wins against the Oranje, including a penalty shoot-out triumph following a goalless semi-final at UEFA EURO 2000™. • Despite playing against ten men from the 34th minute when Gianluca Zambrotta was sent off, the tournament co-hosts paid the price for two missed penalties during normal time.

  • UNIVERSITY of BIRMINGHAM “Collocation in a Football Report” by Brett Laybutt
    UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM Centre for Language Studies MA TEFL/TESL Module 3 - Lexis March 2008 “Collocation in a Football Report” By Brett Laybutt LX/06/04 Choose a short, authentic, written or spoken text in English (about 200 words) and select at least twelve examples of collocations, including some fixed expressions. Discuss how you might use these examples to demonstrate to students the constraints on word- combinations in English. 1 1.0 Introduction There are many terms in the discussion of collocation that tend to overlap. Wray (2000:465) lists some 50 terms that have been used with varying degrees of synonymity within the literature. This paper shall adopt the following distinctions. Collocation shall be taken as being “frequently recurrent, relatively fixed syntagmatic combinations” (Bartsch, 2004:11), which stems from a lexico-grammatical system of language where lexis and grammar are interrelated, as will be outlined in Section 2. This conception of collocation and language implies that vocabulary, rather than “filling the slots in grammatical structures” (Thornbury, 1998:7), is constrained in terms of the choices that are available. The importance of collocation within the L1 lexicon is well-established (Aitchison, 1987) yet for the learner of a language collocation poses particular difficulties (Martynska, 2004:5). There is little agreement on the best way to approach collocation within the classroom, with the most common suggestions ranging from corpus frequencies (Shin & Nation, 2007) and range (Lewis, 2000) through to L1-L2 contrastive approaches (Bahns, 1993; Shirato & Stapleton, 2007) with particular focus on verb forms (Nesselhauf, 2003) or organised by topic (McCarthy & O‟Dell, 2005).
