So just the two here then? :p Fwiw, prof is short for professor if anything!
In the circles I move in prof is well used as an abbreviation (why is that word so long?) for profit but I will bear in mind the many belletrists on here when I next post.

I wasn't correcting your spelling, I was correcting your placement of a comma, therefore it's a grammatical error :)
I googled it and in fact ho-hum is correct. Been a bit of discussion about comma redundancy. I personally have been cutting down my use of them, incorrectly sometimes.
I try to spell correctly. Sometimes I fail.
Can we say you are more betterer than me at grammar and let other posters resume the Holtby discussion?
Ta!

Well, I was going to challenge you to a duel, but I'll settle for your terms. I do however think you shouldn't give the commas up!

Ta!

Nadal is betterer than Federer.

Holtby starts alongside Behrami in the No 8 role. Massive game for Hamburg, as this is their derby and the other relegation scrappers all lost yesterday.

Tough result. didn't see the match, just the report but its a pretty late goal and a seemingly unnecessary penalty to give away from the report I saw.

Did you watch it? How'd Holtby go?

That didn't end up going well.

Holtby played well, Behrami just tried to recover after yet another poor pass out of the back -> ball into box -> Behrami had to run him down. Most energy in midfield Hamburg has had in a couple months.

Eh, Behrami could have done better, but he had to scramble to catch the play in the first place. Tough result though nonetheless, and the contact was certainly milked for the PK. I thought Holtby did quite well though. Kept the ball moving through midfield very well.

I'm hoping he was just injured as he was seated next to Dennis Deikmeier who is hurt, but massive, massive win for Hamburg today with other results going perfectly. They may yet have a chance to survive.
