It's an abbreviation, not an attempt to make it singular. In that case you are correct, you can turn it into whatever you want. However, it's widely accepted in England as "Maths". If in America, which is where i believe the phrase "math" came from, they want to abbreviate it like that then they can suck my balls. I've never met a human who calls it "Math" by the way Mike calls it math. You've basically met Mike.

well the website I'm plagiarising from says otherwise.

mackems are shit

Ultimately, math(s) is just a abbreviation for mathematics, which means it makes more sense for math to be the chosen abbreviation. In reality, you're abbreviating a word, and it has an s in, therefore you can probably abbreviate it to whatever the heck you want. I might go with MateMats.

What grade did you get in English? It's fucking maths! Why is it plural? Probably the same reason mathematics is. Mathematics isn't plural, it's a collective noun, so it's singular.

Whilst you're completely right... that's never stopped them signing that kind of player before. In fact, Arsenal tend to deal exclusively in Attacking Midfield players.

Give them a chance. They've only got 8 fingers each and it takes time to gather enough mackems together with enough fingers to count to 20 million. Most people got 8fingers.. + 2thumbs.. =) Mackems don't have thumbs yet

I can see the similarities, but there'd be hell on if Pards/Ashley didn't tow the line with the normal "it'll be hard to keep him", instead going with the Whelan alternative of "yeah, Cheick should play for Man Utd, he deserves to play at a big team". Even if the end result is perhaps the same... I know Wigan are a smaller club, but I'm not convinced I'd just happily plod along with this mentality if I was a Wigan fan. If they have any fans.

quite the deduction sir

He can't really force him to stay can he? No he can't, but it's almost as if he's pimping him out.. He's resigned to the fact that there's very little he can do in this situation and its almost fully Martinez's decision. Not buying that. He's practically been advertising Martinez to Liverpool. Now I understand Whelan supposedly has a soft spot for the bin dippers, but considering his interest in Wigan he could play it a bit more subtle. Wonder what the Wigan fans (if indeed they do exist) make of it all.. I'm with you. All he needs to do is allow Martinez to talk to Liverpool if he wants to, but he's quoted in papers on multiple occasions saying how fantastic Martinez is, and that he should be managing a 'big club'. It's very odd.

Didn't realise Kalou and Bosingwa were both out of contract like. Surprised they let them go for free, I'm sure they could've got a fee for them had they worked the contracts appropriately. I guess they were probably on far more money than they should've been. Especially odd given Kalou was picked quite a lot in recent weeks, and it's not like they couldn't have played Sturridge/Torres/Malouda/Someone instead of Kalou.

Kris Boyd is in Portland!!!!!!!11

Chicago Fire is the actual linked team afaik

It won't be. Unless they get rid of Donovan/Beckham/Keane.

"mates" lols Didn't know horses could play 5-a-side

Wait, no, I misheard. They said 12 games.

BBC Sport says he's getting off with a slap on the wrists

Probably do the job of unsettling him though

I thought it was fucking class that Ross Turnbull was so proudly presenting his name during the CL trophy presentation tbh. I think he must've known how surreal the moment was.

Poland are god awful. They're not bottling anything, they're just shite.
