Subject: RE: BS: A very puzzling football puzzle
Actually, Musket: that sort of emphatic repetition, as in "particularly puzzling puzzle", or, eg, "He plays most satisfactorily as a most disagreeably villainous villain, better than his colleague who is not a particularly heroic hero", is a recognised rhetorical device. A sort of pleonasm, I suppose one might call it.
