Cos its getting really boring all thing talk about affairs in the FA. Flipping footy..if they spent as much time with their eye on the ball as they seem to on their secretaries we might actually win something.... is it about two single people or a boss & thier secretary?

How can it be an affair when both parties are single..their jobs shouldn't enter the equation surely....

Affairs are tween one or both parties being married or at least attached in someway to someone else...not single people...

And bosses/secretaries have had relationships since the year dot, so whats new about the FA?
