16.9.05 ALLEN SETS HOMEWORK
BRENTFORD BOSS Martin Allen has been sending his Bees midweek homework missions to boost their football knowledge.

The Griffin Park chief sends players in pairs to various matches in and around London to get a feel for how other clubs operate and go about their business.

And when they return, Allen demands they write a short essay about their experiences.

The former West Ham midfielder, who takes his second placed Bees to Huddersfield today, said: "It is very important for my players to get an idea how other clubs are run. We had players at Arsenal, Chelsea, Reading and Millwall.

"For some of the lads to go to places like Stamford Bridge is very beneficial. They all wear Brentford ties and blazers.

"I then get them to write about four paragraphs and ask them questions about what they thought and saw.


"It is vital players keep learning." The country may still be gripped with Ashes fever but Allen insists there was one sporting event which beat anything that Michael Vaughan's men did.


Allen said: "It was great to see the Aussies beaten and I am delighted for the cricket team. But, for me, it was nothing compared to when we beat Bournemouth on the last day two seasons ago to stay up. That was sporting drama at its best." ends +++

4 paragraphs isnt that much though-ive just been given a 4000 word essay in politics which has no bearing on any final a level grade, for no particular reason other than to get back into the swing of things.

you can use some of this if you like


President Bush was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the President if he would like to lead the discussion on the word "tragedy".

So the illustrious leader asked the class for an example of a "tragedy".

One little boy stood up and offered: "If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy". "
No," said Bush, "that would be an accident."

A little girl raised her hand: "If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy."
"I'm afraid not," explained the president. "That's what we would call a great loss."

The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Bush searched the room. "Isn't there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?"

Finally at the back of the room a small boy raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: "If Air Force One carrying you and Mrs Bush was struck by a friendly fire missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy."

"Fantastic!" exclaimed Bush. "That's right. And can you tell me why that would be a tragedy?"
"Well," said the boy, "It has to be a tragedy, because it certainly wouldn't be a great loss and it probably wouldn't be a fecking accident either".

For a football player that's akin to writing War and Peace.
