Drip In Cod (and on the field at that – eek!)
MIDFIELDERS
Carlos Eduardo
Sour Cad Ordeal (Indeed!)
Kevin Prince-Boateng
A Bicker Venting Peon (Nice!)

Lukas Podolski

Ah…those were the days when doing anagrams was a way to kill time in the classroom. But with the teacher’s permission because she gave us words to do anagrams on. This was many years ago, when yours truly was much younger…in her childhood days, that is. My brain was nearly stretched to the limit in those days.
I’ll never give away my secret
