Thanks for all the support so far! :)

Some of the discussions the book has led to on this thread is embarrassing - why should Danny be forced to go into detail in regards to his motives for writing it, or provide free copies to anyone at all? Man writes book, man wants to sell book - surly its that simple.

Danny is one of the only posters who post under a real name too and posting as openly as he does, well, I doff my cap.

Put me down for a copy (I'll pay RRP) - should be a great book for a great period of our recent history. Well played.

Pretty much sums up my thoughts. I think people just need to probably get out more HeCanDoMagic.
 
Will there be a book signing? Does anyone know if we are having a blades day this summer? Party at the lane type thing
 
sheffield clubs had 20 chances to win it before between them

no small feat , dont get decrying it , man city leeds forest southampton
got nowhere near it

It’s not even what he’s done but, for me, how he’s done it. The season was so much more than just winning the third division IMO
 
There's something subliminal going on on this thread. I keep seeing images of a strawberry blonde haired man sat on a yacht in the sun, drinking champagne, holding my credit card, throwing books into the sea.

I'd advise a psycho-analyst. Quite possibly conflicting issues that have made you the man you are young Thornton UTMB!
 
There are loads on here. I'm sure someone will chip in with some free advice......
I’m guessing you keep logging into porn, which reminds you of Tony Soprano. Then, just as you’re getting close, you keep thinking of Duffy’s goal.

Dreaming afterwards is your subconscious trying to resolve your conflicts.

Wow.
 

Received the thumbs-up from King Keith...

Nope......I'm back at the comma. No need for it.

A lovely evening. Just off for a ride on my bike round Pedantry, a small village in the Peak District.

Good luck with the book Danny :)
My pedantry is with Danny on this. Number one rule of punctuation is to make clear the intended meaning; without a comma or pause, it could mislead the reader/hearer into thinking it referred to either Edwards or Wilder. A pause in speech or a comma in writing spares the hearer/reader the trouble of filtering out that possibility. Whatever the text-books or internet sites say, making life easy for others is the number one rule.
Incidentally, I enjoyed my walk around Pedantry this evening, except for the cyclist who nearly ran me down...

Ha Ha Hodgy! You've been rumbled. I was on my motorbike (which amongst bikers can be correctly described as a 'bike'. Mind you this is a footy forum so...erm?....). Having said that, this dozy walker nearly stepped in front of me......

Whilst I agree with the premise of your pedantry it is for exactly the opposite reason. The comma, a short pause in the sentence suggests to me that Keith is 'either' 'or' impressed with Wilder and, or, impressed with the book. If you remove the comma, to me the 'either' would then read it's differently nuanced meaning of 'as well'.
Put a full stop before the 'either' in place of the offending comma and you will see what I mean.

Next time you are in Pedantry do flag me down. I shall be correcting recalcitrant apostrophes on shop signs.

How bored must I be.......
