PVA comes unstuck. I like that. It's all a bit 'tacky', isn't it?

Shisha is essentially flavoured water vapour (can have tobacco in it or not - up to you), so nothing to see here.

Just shows how much he really cares about the privileged position he currently has as a Premiership footballer.

'Ace' is also a very short word and replaces something like 'player' or even 'star' which is useful in newspapers where space is at a premium. That's why 'displeasure' or 'anger' is so often to be seen as 'fury' - shorter. It doesn't seem to matter if the word isn't really the right one just so long as it fits the column space. So, if it suits the space criteria of the rag in question, we have to accept that PVA is not really an bang average championship quality player but is, indeed, an 'ace' - whether we like it or not.

Saw a news report a while ago that claimed that smoking a shish for 1 hour was the equivalent of a one weeks heavy smoking of cigarettes. Apparently the water does not filter the harmful ingredients. You have to wonder what an athlete is doing harming his body.

Whoever wrote the headline clearly hasn't seen PVA in action recently. '' Ace '' he ain't

I started reading the article but then noticed another article about Jesy Nelson from Little Mix wearing lingerie. I'll catch up later.
