The small Kennington business, ��oxygen tents �r� us,�� had its mass order to North Carolina from injured Leopard stalwart Nick VandenArend cancelled today. The firm had been overjoyed at hearing of its contract before it was hastily, some might say readily, cancelled by Leopards supremo Sven Inglis. When the news broke of his part in the cancellation, Sven declared, �eeerrrrmmm�I always think its better for players to take their time in coming back from such a serious injury.�
Sven Goran Erikson, still rocking from the news that the �metacarpal curse� has struck down another of his starting eleven, has been stunned by the news that Leopards scoring sensation Nick vdA is out for 8 � 12 weeks and will miss the World cup. Nick, who is the Leopards all-time leading scorer, injured his knee going into a brave challenge in the first few minutes against Demon Eyes, yet played on for thirty minutes on what turned out to be a fractured knee cap. A philosophical Sven last night commented, � We won�t really know what we�re missing�, while Paddy Inglis, Leopards supremo, commented �Given our plight, this is the last thing we knees�. |
