Um no you start new paragraphs to make it easier for people to read. Anyone with half a brain knows that. Oh.

Incidently if your logic is correct would that mean that someone who say wrote a book on World War I would have to write the book using one loooooong paragraph because whatever they wrote would be on the topic of World War I?

Great logic :thup:

Being an Australian im sort of a second hand soccer fan, (AFL's our first code of football). Soccer's not massive here like it is in Europe and South America obviously, but we do get a fair bit of coverage of the European Leagues and i do really enjoy it. What really irritates me though is the egotistical behaviour of quite a few of the players in Europe.

I've been reading about how recently Jens Lehmann has said that he deserves to be in Arsenal's starting 11 instead of Almunia, but also that he didn't think Almunia could handle the pressure!!!.

In Australian Football, if any player came out publically putting down a team mate like that they would be savaged by the press, the public, their club and their team mates!!

It doesnt seem like there's much loyalty in football (maybe except for Drogba hehe...) but some of the things i hear astound me. Like players talking publically about playing for another club while they're still under contract. Soccer's a great sport, but Lehmann's behaviour would be totally unacceptable to an Australian football fan. He just sounds like a sore loser and ought to be banished from the side altogether.

I do think there's quite a big cultural difference between how we play football in Aus. and how its done in the rest of the world...I dunno... What do people think? Is there any room for chivalry in football? not only between opponents but with your own teammates?? Or is it just every man for himself?

How the OP should have been paragraphed, true to the rules of the English language.

Logical paragraphing. A paragraph separates points, not topics. It's not hard and fast but requires some common-sense.

I like to help the colonies become literate.

God, I'm bored.
