i was pointing out the commentator’s capacity for stating the obvious. as in, him feeling the need to state dramatically that that was an elbow to the side of his face when we can see quite clearly on the screen that the elbow hit the side of the guy’s face. hence the statement ‘no joke captain obvious’. that would be ‘no joke’ as in ‘you’re not joking’ (this is a device commonly known as sarcasm) and ‘captain obvious’ referring to the commentator. along the same lines as ‘no s*** sherlock’ if you will.

so in short, no, I don’t think I do mean ‘caption’ actually, and if I did that sentence wouldn’t make any sense. forgive me for being patronising but you get what you give.

and what’s a joke captain? Wlliam Gallas? (I think you mean “caption”)

methinks berlusconi might be wanting a pep of his own after wednesday night (or however much of it he was awake for). maybe he should first consider the other end of the spectrum and think about how well alan shearer has done this season.
