    Slight exagerration. It is only email addresses starting A-M. Looks like about 2000 of them.

    Doesn't really matter how many, they're in breach of the Data Protection Act by making public information that the owners of the email addresses did not give them permission to do (sorry about the syntax, but I'm sure you know what I mean).

    I think at least an email is in order to point out that they shouldn't have done this, and telling them not to do it again.

    Fines for breach of the Data Protection Act will just increase the club's debt.....

    I didn't receive this email and I'm a season ticket holder, maybe they retracted it before I read my emails (if they can).

    Just thought I'd share a post from responses to Phil McNulty's blog on the BBC Sport website concerning the Carlos Tevez affair.

    "I think if a player loves the country and loves the team they are playing for then they should at least have learnt the language and not use (pay) a translator when they have lived in the country for more than three years. (Parrotts pick up a language faster than him)."

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/philmcnulty/2011/09/tevezs_selfish_act_of_rebellio.html - post No. 142

    Just love the parrot simile.

    Strangely I gave up on the Premier League, its players and England at the last World Cup, after many years of being on this planet, I just decided enough was enough of watching it.

    I'm sure my interest will come back again and I did watch a little bit of the Champions League last night, however, it does mean I miss a lot of stories like the Tevez saga. I don't read newspapers but do sometimes check online, if attempting to verify a story.

    As for this statement, quote: ''I think if a player loves the country and loves the team they are playing for then they should at least have learnt the language and not use (pay) a translator when they have lived in the country for more than three years. (Parrotts pick up a language faster than him)."

    I think I would tend to agree that if I had lived in another country for 3 years, I would expect after just 12 months, to have a basic understanding of the language, so after 3 years I would be expecting to get by reasonably comfortably, obviously this would be dependent on someone's learning ability.

    Tevez is obviously an exception but if there is one thing that impresses me about foreign players in the Premiership is their superb language skills. Their grammar and vocabulary is superior to most home grown players.

    Yeah it is amazing as their is a lot of English people who cannot do foreign languages, I have a French qualification so I am an exception.
    Bonjour, LOL. It was not a C grade though, D so I just missed out on the pass.

    I thought at first you had put their grammer is probably better than the economy but then I read the n on the end of mien which is me, but mie is economy in that context with the other words, french is hard as their language is no where as simple as ours,

    mort de rire. One of our favourite phrases, when I done French I had to ask my teacher how to say this as it is one of our best phrases,.
