"Or consider the word "spelt," an older participial form of the word "spell." You almost never encounter "spelt" in the United States, but it is actually fairly common in England. On the other hand, the older participial form "gotten" is almost unheard of in England, but in most sentences it is the preferred form in the U.S." (from http://www.grammartips.homestead.com/british.html)

Of course, since Gillett is American, I simply must insist on the American (and Canadian!) usage in this case!     

that was the most interesting thing i have read all day. and i have read alot of today, mainly from this board! (from my own keyboard)

I missed that long interview, in what channel or paper was mate?


I don't think Rafa reads the internet boards, and when it comes to the stadium mate, I don't recall the Liverpool fans not supporting him. They sing Rafa-Rafael-Rafa more often than not.

Then he has received some stick by some people in the press, and pundits. Do you honestly think Rafa cares? I think that he overlooks the press as much as he overlooked the twáts that write bullshít in our country, De la Morena, Marca, and the likes.

So I don't see why he should feel insulted. Remember in Valencia, when he took the job and he had to listen from de la Morena "Who is that?" when he mentioned the new Valencia manager. That was insulting, for all he cared he won the liga afterwards. He never lacked support in Anfield and away games. The environment is much more supportive and milder than in Valencia, where you can have guys insulting you in the very training sessions.

Is my opinion, too
