View From Swindon

[sitwell]

Howard-Edgar-Basham-Sammon is a strong physical spine to build the team around ,that is what we have missed ,just need quality around that spine ,such as Brayford ,Harris, JCR ,Sharp ,Done , and then younger ones to work and show enthusiasm ,as well as a bit of depth to cover for injuries. we aren't far off this now ,another CB,CManda back up keeper with the Murphy money ,plus off load at least 6 who played against Fulham and we will piss this league with Adkins.

 

[away ends always empty.]

Spoke to a few swindon fans before the game and are probably the nicest fans I've had the pleasure of meeting, so those comments come as no surprise.

 

[Harry's Game]

Adkins = Propper Manager ....

Nuff said.

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

IS THIS A FORUM OR AN A LEVEL EXAM I LEFT SCHOOL 53 YEARS AGO AND I FOR ONE COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT
THE GRAMMAR AS LONG AS I CAN UNDERSTAND THE POST,,,

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

Then, I wish they would Fukin write "would've " instead.

Then I wish they would fucking write "would've" instead.

 

[Nick Jansky]

Reed played a blinder.

Steady, you'll upset Pinchy. He's too small or young, or something to be a professional footballer and apparently our academy is incapable of producing quality footballers. Best just saying we won despite him, he's crap.

 

[finlaytheblade]

Are you angry at my post, at the fact that your caps lock key is broken, or just in general?

I didn't even insult someone for their grammar. Someone just said he didn't know why people write a certain why so I tried to help him understand why.

Chll out fella, t'Blades won.

 

[Blade56]

Come on Roy, to save time you wrote the last couple of views from haven't you? Nobody's that nice to us

“Beaten by a physically stronger side. That was the difference.”

“Men against boys!”

Fucking top banana

Technically inferior though don't forget.

 

[lazyfecklessblade]

Technically inferior though don't forget.

Of course, never forget the 'Weir-Clough caveat'

 

[Pinchy]

And pretty soon they'll be right. Democracy in action.

No they won't. A preposition cannot become a verb. What does "you of" mean? What is the past tense?

Yours is a philosophy of despair. The proposition that correct use of language does not matter is an insidious one and a death knell to creative writing. Shall we all text each other m8?

 

[Pinchy]

If you mean we should never forget that proper football will always defeat aimless kick and rush, you are right. That has been established conclusively down the decades.

 

[William Henry Foulkes]

No they won't.

Let's see how it plays out. Will the Cnuts be able to order back the tide?

A preposition cannot become a verb.

That's not what's happening.

What does "you of" mean?

The meaning is, of course, clear.

What is the past tense?

Eh? What's the past tense of would have? Even if the question makes sense, why does this matter? English has some irregularities, here's another to enrich it further.

Yours is a philosophy of despair.

You might despair. Some of us enjoy this sort of thing. Like I said, it's democracy. I don't despair at that. Fascism otoh: that can make me despair

The proposition that correct use of language does not matter is an insidious one

Too right. So let's correctly accept that usage evolves.

and a death knell to creative writing.

So you can only be creative if you're obedient?

It's got sod all to do with democracy. This sort of thing is born out of laziness and ignorance mainly due to slack education standards.

 

[Snowman]

(Would of) Fucks me off almost as much as people in sandwich shops saying "can I get"? No you fucking can't get. You may HAVE, (That's fucking proper English with the possessive) but if it were my sandwich shop you wouldn't get anything unless you apologised for being an uneducated chav and said CAN I HAVE.

Viva hate indeed.

I think you'll find it should be, "Please may I have?"

Depending on the style you wish to adopt there are up to (or maybe beyond) ten grammatical "mistakes" (eg can I get -> "Can I get?") in your post.

Would you consider yourself "an uneducated chav"?

Have a double like for this. "Can I get a...?" I amaze myself at how much this winds me up!!

 

[alcoblade]

Some people really need to get out more.

[Patrick Suffaux]

There were so many pleasing things about the performance. Tactically spot on, very patient and disciplined at times and we had the quality to create openings and take our chances. We look like a real team and one that has sharpened up dramatically with the change of manager and a few additions. The best part is that I think we can get better.

 

[Bladebri]

I would never have thought I would hear a set of fans say our defence was solid and organised, that will do for me.

 

[Bladesman]

Refreshing to read those comments. You have to put in a very decent performance to impress the opposition fans.

 

[Jonboy60]

Then I wish they would fucking write "would've" instead.

Ironic.lol

I blame the supermarkets, "serve yourself and save"

 

[BushBlade]

Is it though? Or is it just that people have more to learn these days and there's only so much you can fit in? Or is it that those who thirty years ago struggled with spelling and grammar tended not to write much once they'd left school?
I'm nearly fifty and some of my own school mates left school barely literate. We didn't expect something like the Internet so at the time it just seemed less relevant. If you could read The Sun at dinner time then you were fine.

No, I was in an advanced state of intoxication brought on by imbibing copious quantities of a cocktail called a "Gibson" and ignoring my wife's advice not to start on the Stolichnaya. I think I have now recovered. I promise not to post whilst pissed.

That can't be right, because the bloke behind me never, and I mean never, stopped moaning first half about how rubbish we were. Slagged off Edgar, what????? Sammomn is gash, what???? So bored he wanted to go. Wish he had. Luckily when we scored it shut him up. Some people haven't got a clue!

 

[Northyorksblade]

And, why can't people, if they're not singing just sit and watch. He never fuckibg drew breath. Talk about liking the sound of his own voice.

 

[HighfieldBlade]

To use the Wiltshire vernacular, I thought Swindon's performance on Saturday looked decidedly 'biscuits'.
