The Sun - Quality!!!!

[Deleted]

Arsenal kept on coming and Fenerbahce could hardly get out of their own half.

They tried taking a leaf out of Stoke’s book by employing the long throw but Roberto Carlos is no Rory Delap. Who would have thought that sentence would ever be written?

The fact was the Brazilian World Cup-winner could not throw it half as far as the well-travelled Irish ace.

;D ;D ;D

H

unfortunately not - what we have here is a contradiction in terms. An oxymoron is when the two contradictory terms are used together to create a 'new' term e.g. bittersweet, deafening silence, or even military intellgence

oxymoron

1657, from Gk. oxymoron, noun use of neut. of oxymoros (adj.) "pointedly foolish," from oxys "sharp" (see acrid) + moros "stupid." Rhetorical figure by which contradictory terms are conjoined so as to give point to the statement or expression; the word itself is an illustration of the thing. Now often used loosely to mean "contradiction in terms."
