S****horpe was why you could get away on old 606 by putting a curse word in a sandwich of other characters. An x before and after what you wanted to say would not get blocked! Moderators explained it to me with the specific example of S****horpe. BRILLIANT fun for all! (until some whiny Manc would hit complain at least)
Regarding Marveaux, I expect he would have been back-up and I feel that we still would have brought who we have. Newcastle then came in and told him that they could promise first-team football and that must have swayed it.
