Aurelio back in full training

Both are correct but "back" doesn't need to be used - http://www.bartleby.com/64/C002/027.html

That link supports the idea it is incorrect though

"Seventy-eight percent of the Usage Panel considers revert back to be redundant."

If I remember correctly, it's called redundant language ... unnecessary repetition of meaning . But the point is made and that's the important thing, isn't it?

Absolutely!

I blame Parm, he started it then ran away

Looking at Aurelio's track record we'd be lucky to get 30 games out of him this season. It's a shame he's been so injury prone because he really is a classy player.

look at parm giving the english lesson

Sorry Parm I will have to disagree with you. "Revert back" is a term which is commonly used.

It is wrong though. It's like saying 'I returned back to the house' instead of either 'I returned to the house' or 'I got back to the house'.

It is not wrong at all mate. Both terms are correct.
