ohnononowheredidRossgo Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 Can see how Sheffield Utd finished with about 15pts with that absolute jobber Lundstram in the team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drew Brees Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 36 minutes ago, Jinky67 said: Who are the Covid cases Lundstram mentioned in his post match? Rangers midfielder John Lundstram believes fans will see "a different team" in the coming weeks as he reveals pre-season was hampered by Covid. The Premiership champions have lost their last two games, with Dundee United ending their long league unbeaten run on Saturday. Steven Gerrard's side face Malmo in a crucial Champions League match on Tuesday, and speaking before the match at Tannadice Lundstram revealed he expects improvement after a difficult pre-season. Rangers have not made any positive tests public, though the club's in-house TV commentator Clive Tyldesley suggested two players missed friendlies with Brighton and Real Madrid due to Covid. He mentioned that they were unavailable and commented "we know what that means in the present day" but the club did not give an official reason for their absence. Lundstram told Sky Sports News: "I think there's a lot more to come from all of us. "It's only early doors, we had pre-season not long ago and it hasn't been a great one for everyone. "There have been a few Covid cases. So I'm sure once we are up to speed you'll see a different team." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DukDukGoose Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 I laughed at folk who said Ryan Jack would start for an EPL side. Now I've seen Lundstram... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjoey Posted August 7, 2021 Share Posted August 7, 2021 3 hours ago, Mr. Alli said: He has said that numerous times now. It's amazing it still riles United fans. Job done, slippy. Just to even things up, some interviewer should ask him about his career with Everton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But the possessive plural should still have an apostrophe after the 's'. We should have a pedants' forum, imo.

I don't think it needs to be theirs and I therefore think the apostrophe free version is acceptable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely any association of pedants is run by and for pedants and therefore belongs to them? I'd argue that any non-pedant running a society for pedants purely to avoid the use of the apostrophe is in danger of entering the realm of pedantry themselves and further necessitating its use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps an organisation set up for pedants, would benefit from having someone at the helm who is not at all pedantic. That way, they could actually get as far as staging gatherings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm afraid this anti-apostrophe crusade cannot be allowed. Even this lot have got it beautifully right. https://www.the-ra.org/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pedants are all about hierarchy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
