'At the hearing before us MA made it clear (1) that he was not suggesting that, when he used the word 'disgrace' in the Interviews, he had in fact been intending to use the word 'descgracia' or at least to use a word which carried with it connotations of 'misfortune, tragedy or bad luck' rather than connotations of 'abuse or insult' - he explained that he had intended to use the English word with knowledge of the English meaning of that word; and (2) that any suggestion to the contrary in the letter was the result of miscommunication between him and Arsenal when the letter had been prepared. We accepted that explanation. There was no repetition of that suggestion in his witness statement or in the Response to the Case Summary and MA was clear in his oral evidence about any erroneous impression given by that paragraph in the letter.
