FOOTBALL-Robert Earnshaw pleads for Bellamy to join Swansea!

It’s been a bit of a long weekend with copious amounts of alcohol and food being consumed and with a total lack of sleep (it’s been a great weekend though) – but I thought I must’ve still been drunk or half asleep when I read the headline from the back page of The Sunday Mirror on 10th July, 2011.

The opening line read:-
“Rob Earnshaw has pleaded with Craig Bellamy to join him at Swansea.”

After previous faux-pas by the media this confusion between Swansea and Cardiff really does seem too difficult for them to grasp! It seems to set the Twitter world alight – beginning with a tweet from Robert Earnshaw himself!

Looks like Sunday mirror made a little mistake.

As Robert Earnshaw put it 'Looks like the Sunday Mirror has made a little mistake' Talking about getting things wrong! http://t.co/KoLCBeg

One heck of a typo on the back page of the (Welsh) Sunday Mirror. Earnshaw and Bellamy to team up "at Swansea".

Dear Sunday mirror. Swansea and Cardiff are different places. Get it right we don't want Bellamy or Earnshaw.
