Shall I tell you something that annoys me?

"The former Santos attacker played a key role in helping Real secure the Spanish title last season but it is believed he is keen to join fellow countryman Luiz Felipe Scolari at Stamford Bridge."

It's not "fellow countryman"!!!!

It's either "...is keen to join countryman Scolari..."

or "...is keen to join fellow Brazilian Scolari...."

"fellow countryman" is just saying the fecking thing twice! Countryman *means* from the same country!

BBC always do this - and it's got to the point where 'countryman' almost sounds wrong without 'fellow' in front of it, they say it so often.

GRRRR.........
