    Football pet hates

    This does my head in. Also when people refer to teams as a plural. As in "Your Newcastles and your Evertons". but they aren't referring to the clubs in plural, they are referring to clubs like those mentioned. the smiths link later mentioned doesn't make sense! Does to me. Pluralising players' names unnecessarily annoys me. Commentators and pundits will refer to Messi in the plural when they only mean one of them, and that's his family name, like Smith. Ronaldo's a given name, like John, Mars is a world, like this one, and there's a certain resonance in the Smiths-John-Mars combo that appealed. It's not rocket science You'll probably say they meant players like that, but that's my point, if that's what they meant they should say it ffs! I will not accept such sloppiness! they are referring to players or clubs of that ilk and i'll bet you do it aswell. the smiths guitar player spells his name 'marr' so the plural would be 'marrs' which wouldn't be like the planet. Yes, it would be like the planet, homophone. I don't mind playing with words, but parroting stock phrases without any thought gets right up my goat And no, I don't do it "aswell" btw what with it being a pet hate of mine. I'd have to give myself a slap if I did, zero tolerance for that s*** tbh. Was going to use Carter as the family name example but doubted many would get that reference. so, the plural of 'mars' the planet is 'marrs' ? It's a homophone, it sounds the same. Oh, you're doing this on purpose! That's funny. You're a funny guy. it sounds the same ..............but isn't. What is going on? Is this like a staring contest? Yes, that's the definition of a homophone. Are you going to ask in a slightly different way now? no, it comes from you saying " "The Messis and Ronaldos of this world" - f*** right off you stupid bastards. Might as well say "the Smiths and Johns of Mars", when they are completely different. So my pet hate is invalid because there is a confusing analogy for you? Or is this still the staring contest? Give me a clue.

And when they do it with people and feel they have to specify which planet they live on, to avoid any further confusion, obviously, having already involved everyone with that name. "The Messis and Ronaldos of this world" - fuck right off you stupid bastards. Might as well say "the Smiths and Johns of Mars" linguistically. Lazy uneducated tools.
  8. Thought it wasn't cos the ref can't tell whose hand is up in a crowd. Who's got away with it? I was always told that and believed it. Never crossed my mind that keepers rolled their sleeves up all the time. Maybe I'm immensely gullible then My memory's got it linked to Lionel Perez for some reason and an actual ref saying it. Ah, now I see where I went wrong.

  10. Mick Lowes on Radio Newcastle's been talking to the players and Pards out in Greece and that's what they say happened on Saturday. Apparently he was never going to be on the bench, he was sent home cos he was worried about his bairn. Don't know at what stage, maybe from the ground.
  11. Ah, his bairn's poorly so he was sent home. Panic over.

    Didn't they screw us with Owen because we'd screwed them with Woody the year before? That was the accepted wisdom at the time iirc, something about owed instalments or some such and we both just called it quits.
  13. No difference to any other game. Man Utd will finish above both us and Everton so I'd rather old Purple Nose had taken the points. I'm just saying I'm not really concerned about any results other than our own at this stage of the season - Spurs could win at Everton, we could beat Man Utd at home again, whatever. 37 games left yet. Same goes for Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool getting beat, I'm not really fussed either way at this point. That didn't really happen marra
  14. Lost it a bit there. Didn't need that arsewipe turning up in my house unexpectedly on a Sunday morning with his bullshit and bringing along two other clueless guys to give him a quick rimming. I just wanted to see the other goals ffs

    Completely "woth" that. Just better than Vic Halom imo. And every other player they've ever had, obviously.
  16. The little fucking toerag doesn't even understand why we boo him after he captained us to relegation without giving a fucking flying fucking toss about anyone but himself and his fucking horses and fucking helicopters. For fucking fuck's fucking sake. Fucking cunt. Boo, that's all I've got to say, boo. All he had to do was give a shit, the hypocritical twat. Not even on punchinthefacebook so I've had to print his boring face off and stick it on my punchbag to punch to my heart's content. Utter utter cunt. Did I mention that I despise the fucking twat? I do, fwiw.
  17. It is. Made me reconsider what kids think when we grown-ups have more important things than them on our minds. Kinda pleased I give them their cuddles and advice when they need them but reminds me I should do more too. I do detach sometimes so I can work things out in my own head before returning to reality and I should give them the time first really because I don't want them as fucked up as I am. Life, eh?
  18. Don't really need to read the article. Just really want to punch 1, 3 and 4. 2 would get a good hammering as well like

  20. Ba, Cisse, Ben Arfa, Cabaye. Not for real though, just Pards having a tantrum.
  21. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_McCammon Mark Jason McCammon (born 7 August 1978 in Barnet, London) is an English-born Barbadian international football striker. He is also a very shit footballer. Doubt this'll last long

    Erratic is the perfect word tbh. He'll always have a place in my heart for that goal against Spurs like. I will never forget him rattling the crossbar at Anfield from a fairly innocuous throw in about 40 yards out in the right channel. Consistently inconsistent, which became more and more of a problem as we slipped down the league. That time he hit the bar against Chelsea at home in the cup, thought it was in. Then Drogbarrr went and cheated a free kick into the top corner. That cheating free kick, man. I'd wiped that from my memory until now He scores from where he wants to place it and the ref lets him do it
