Nobby gets Peruitis

According to today's Guardian, the Peru national coach has been bemoaning how shit his performances are for the national side, saying that he suffers from "Peruitis" and can't concentrate on his game as there is so much adverse publicity surrounding his personal life. Actually, I think the travelling to and fro is the issue - I mean he was shit for us as soon as he started having to go back to Peru.

"adverse publicity surrounding his personal life"?!?

All I've heard is that he's a devout catholic, plays the trumpet and hangs around with some Spanish bloke from the Northern Sinfonia (spelling? the 'f' & 'sin' don't look right - cue Essex Girl joke re. "there's no f in way"). Not exactly sex 'n drugs 'n rock and roll.

communion 'n jazz 'n Vivaldi possibly.

But then again, 'playing the trumpet' and 'hanging around with some Spanish Bloke' could be mistranslated by the Peruvian press?
