http://www.cafc.co.uk/page/reservesdetail/0,,10267~2585827,00.html Someone please tell Mr Mark Ritson that it is unacceptable to use a quirky phrase like "the likes of ..." as many as six times in one short piece. Oh, sorry, I meant to write "a quirky phrase the likes of 'The likes of ...'". Looks as if it will be mostly youngsters playing. No suggestion that Alonso will play, although it appears that Bover-Izquierdo is fit again. If so, he should go out on loan.
I thought he could've used it a few more times. Something along the likes of... "The match is the reward for beating the likes of Bromley in the previous round of the competition" "The Addicks defeated Bromley 3-2 at Hayes Lane in mid-November thanks to goals from the likes of Ruben Bover-Izquierdo, Michael Smith and Tobi Sho-Silva" "The senior first-teamers involved in that match were Gary Doherty, Bradley Pritchard and Paul Benson, but with Benson having joined Swindon Town (scoring the winner for the Robins on Saturday) and Pritchard enjoying a run in Chris Powell's starting XI, only the likes of Doherty could reprise his role." "If the Addicks can beat the hosts, a semi-final beckons against the likes of Dartford or Tonbridge Angels." "Margate have announced that they expect a large crowd for the visit of the likes of Charlton, but the match will not be an all-ticket affair." I can carry on if you like
