Ameritoon Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Reminds me of every time I write about St. James' Park in one of my writing classes and people read it at St. James Park. And honestly, I've written about it/NUFC more times than I should have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leffe186 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 Spurs' ground being referred to as "THE LANE". It's a fair cop, I do this a lot . I try to avoid it on here though - it's really for Spurs-Spurs conversation only. Sort of like "Stevie G" or "Giggsy", should never, ever be uttered on someone else's board/by a commentator.

Tooj Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 You must be one of those cultural people! BORN 'IM! What you mean by that? I say, SIFU seems to appreciate why the Premier League (and by association it's football clubs), which is admired and watched around the world , might want to maximise it's advertising revenue by allowing foreign languages to appear in adverts. He must be a person of intellectual disposition. Someone please restrain him before he spreads this cultural awareness, and burn him at the stake. Globally though the language with the most football (Premiership) watchers is English. Taking Japanese for an example, how many people who speak Japanese who watch the Premiership is there compared to how many who can speak English and watch the Premiership? Also take note that many people who's native language maybe say Japanese, or Chinese and watch the Premiership will also likely be able to speak English as a 2nd language. In all honesty I'd say advertisers are cutting off their noses to spite their faces with it. Having their advertising in English would undoubtedly hit a larger target market than limiting to one language that is spoken primarily in one or a few countries compared to a language that is spoken worldwide. Not very likely. Chinese people's English (written and spoken) is atrocious, the only way you'll draw their attention to the PL is Chinese writing. The Far East is a very lucrative market so I can understand why they would have some form of advertising aimed at them. Way to generalise Sifu.

Village Idiot Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I think I've said before but when players don't give defenders options, and in turn, when defenders don't bring it out of defence and thus has to play an utterly pointless sideways pass to another defender. On a related note, when a team starts a counter and somehow, thirty seconds later one of its defenders is giving a backpass to the keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 judging by some comments on facebook and twitter, some Newcastle fans seem more excited by Man Utd vs. Real Madrid tonight than they probably are for our game on Thursday.

Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 People who have no idea about football forcing football conversations. Fucking painful. Flanked by Leeds 'fan' and a West Ham 'fan', neither really are football fans. That moment when you know what's coming, and you just think 'please don't'. The best line in the who exchange about Man Utd last night was 'Alex Ferguson must be getting on, now. I think he'll be wanting to get to 20 Champions League titles before he retires'. Honestly, just don't fucking do it. Just stick to talking about cars. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 The assumption that a referee should not make a decision that will "change the game". Blah, Blah...referee should not have sent off Nani because it changed the game...blah blah. You can argue that it didn;t deserve a Red card based on the actual challenge.....but expecting that the the player NOT be sent off because it would change the game is rediculous.

Exiled in Texas Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Commentators that say "This referee has clearly never played the game at this level, but I have.....blah blah blah". Quite probably correct.....also probably correct is that the commentator has never refereed at this level, so actually you are only qualified to talk about playing the game, and not refereeing the game.
