You mean a Portugeezer..
Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
May the Lord bless this post.

I don't know about a geezer but you're certainly something, Bender.

The January transfer window opened last night, and with it has come a fresh batch of tabloid silliness.
According to The S#n, ‘David Moyes is eyeing up a six-month loan deal for Manchester City flop Scott Sinclair’.
Really? Does journalist Steve Page actually have a source for that, or did he just invent it while everyone else was Googling the words to Auld Lang Syne?
It’s tempting to say the latter, because of course Scott Sinclair – having played for Swansea and Manchester City already in 2012/13 – is unable to play for a third club within the same season. So either this is a fabrication, or David Moyes is considering loaning a player just to make up the numbers in training. It’s good to see The Sun start their 2013 transfer coverage as they inevitably intend to go on.
It would be interesting to know whether, if time could be reversed, Sinclair would make the decision to join City again. I said at the time that this was a club too far up the league for him, and moving to Manchester would lead to his career stalling – and that, without trying to sound smug, is pretty much what’s happened.
It’s shame, because he’s a good player.
Go **** yourself

Angelo Henriquez Chile striker
Henriquez could make his Wigan debut against Bournemouth in the third round of the FA Cup on Saturday.
Martinez said: "Angelo is a young man with a huge potential. I feel he can bring us something different."
The 18-year-old came through Universidad de Chile's youth ranks and helped the club win last season's Apertura, the nation's top division.
He moved to Old Trafford in the summer and made his senior international debut last month against Serbia.
Henriquez said: "I am really excited after the manager has given this chance for me to prove myself. Now I need to work to try and earn my place in the team."

Mathieu Debuchy is expected on Tyneside today to begin the process of completing his move to Newcastle United.
The 27-year-old Lille full-back was due to travel to the north-east after the two clubs finally agreed a fee, understood to be in the region of £5million, over the weekend.
However, with a medical to complete and personal terms to discuss, his transfer is unlikely to be concluded until later in the week.
Whether or not the France international is among the crowd for tonight's Premier League clash with Everton at St James' Park remains to be seen.
Debuchy has been in Newcastle's sights for some time, and manager Alan Pardew was hugely disappointed to miss out on one of his major targets after the two clubs were unable to reach agreement over him despite protracted negotiations during the summer.
However, with Danny Simpson having rejected the Magpies' latest contract offer with his current arrangement due to expire at the end of the campaign, the right-back position has become a priority.
Pardew is also keen to add a central defender to his squad with injuries and suspensions having exposed the lack of depth among the current crop, while a striker is on his wish-list regardless of Demba Ba's situation.
The manager has not given up hope of hanging on to the Senegal international despite his representatives having held, so far unproductive, talks with Chelsea, but Marseille's Loic Remy is high on his wish-list.
However, sources on Tyneside today played down a link with West Brom frontman Peter Odemwingie.
Looks a decent player from what I have seen of him.
