Benjamin_Nevis Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I may have missed it, but how the f**k have we got to the fourth page of this thread without "The Group"? It's a team, or a squad. "Group" can get right into the fucking sea. I'll happily second whoever mentioned Sky's ludicrous FM-style player ratings and the laughable circus built up over the January window. Utter shite.

Surely if you've given all you have then you should have left everything on the pitch? Didn't Lineker once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7-2 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 We won 0-1. No you didn't, we won 1-0. You always put your own teams score first, home or away. Same as the team you're talking about if not yours, 'they won 1-0 at...' Always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JTS98 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 People talking about 'kits'. When I was a kid 'kit' was a stupid word that English people used. We used to always talk about 'strips'. As in, the new Hearts strip, the new Motherwell strip etc. Now everybody seems to say 'kit'. It's excruciating.

I blame this thread completely for normalising the use of this invidious phrase, and the folk who regularly contribute to it, who should be beaten with an old-style pair of rain-sodden woollen stockings - shameful...
