BOF Posted July 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2013 Sorry, not a spoonerism. A palindrome. Like Notlob.Notlob isn't a palindrome. It'd have to be 'NotlobboltoN' to be palindromic. I only point this out as you're a paid up pedant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only point this out as you're a paid up pedant. I am indeed. I understand this IS Bolton. Yes? You told me it was Ipswich! ...It was a pun. (pause) A PUN?!? No, no...not a pun...What's that thing that spells the same backwards as forwards? (Long pause) A palindrome...? Yeah, that's it! It's not a palindrome! The palindrome of "Bolton" would be "Notlob"!! It don't work!! Well, what do you want? I'm not prepared to pursue my line of inquiry any longer as I think this is getting too silly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers13 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 http://mobile.avfc.co.uk/default.aspx?s=news-display&aid=3332283Tony moon!Antonio Luna has spoken with real affection about the fans who have already taken him to their hearts.Luna has been thrilled with the amount of support he has received from the claret and blue army on social media sites aswell as in person during pre-season games since making the move from Spain.Luna is already somewhat of a cult figure with the fanbase.Supporters on messageboards have given him the nickname Tony Moon, taken from the English derivates of his name.And his appearance has also been lauded by online fans, with supporters hailing his bearded look, not seen in B6 since the departure of colossal defender Olof Mellberg.Smiling and laughing instantly, Luna said: "I know all about the name Tony Moon. I really, really like that. I love it. It's good fun. Well done to the fans on coming up with that."I am so pleased about it, really delighted. I am happy to be called Tony Moon here at Villa!"I am really pleased with my beard too and it seems the fans like it."I believe the last person to have one here was Olof. If they like it, I will grow it even longer!"All joking aside, I am so happy to be close to the supporters already considering the short time I have been here at the club. It makes me proud."I am very pleased that they are happy with me and they have taken me to their hearts."The fans have just been great. They have been so kind with me with their messages of support. I am really happy with them."What is important to me now is that I work to my maximum for them to show them what I can do. I will give the club and the fans everything I can."I am part of a team, of course. It's not just me. We are here together and lifting each other together."Luna says that huge support has extended to the dressing room at Bodymoor Heath, where the players have been "really kind" to welcome him.He added: "I am very happy here. I have had a great welcome from everyone at the club. It's a great feeling in the team, there's a great togetherness and I love the city."It's such a good city. There's only one Spanish restaurant I have found at the moment but, importantly it's really, really good!"But the lads have been really kind. They understand that for me it's complicated because I have moved from another country and I speak another language. But I feel really good here. I already feel at home."Snap up your A. Luna No.14 shirt now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArteSuave Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 We want it longer! If Tony Moon is going to be a thing IRL as well as here then i suggest to the Salifou (daddy cool) tune: Tony, Tony Moon, Tony, Tony Mooooooooon. Inventive, I know. PS - Carlos was the last one with a beard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
