United's Missing Motto

[Klanger]

Outing yourself as an Old Edwardian?

We could take High Storrs and Abbeydale combined

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

A good start, but it will get difficult from there. And you'd better get the magnet/maggots sorted...

 

[DifferentClass]

Is "Swfiua" a Latin word?

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

We could take High Storrs and Abbeydale combined

Old Centralians shit Old Edwardians!

 

[Johnstreetstand]

Res non verba

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Anseres nutriunt sapientiam

Wisdom of geese.

Look nice on a t-shirt with a picture of Adkins on it.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Old Centralians shit Old Edwardians!

Help. Send for Pinchy to act as peacemaker.

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Iterum me imple

The beginnings of a collaborative work?

 

[Blade82]

Peroni Nastro Azzurro

 

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

Is "Swfiua" a Latin word?

No, but SBT will translate the sentence into Latin.

 

[Tyler Durden]

Look nice on a t-shirt with a picture of Adkins on it.

Could do a roaring trade in "ironic t-shirt" sales among our more hipster-inclined fan base.

Then again it could backfire horribly.

[HodgysBrokenThumb]

irrumator praetor rursus ad caput

I admit defeat. I don't know what that means.

 

[alcoblade]

"vilis et ceteris modice feria"

Bollocks to Wednesday and fuck all the rest.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I admit defeat. I don't know what that means.

Roughly translated, 'head the fucker back'

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Semper in merda; sola altitudo variat

 

[Cerberus Blade]

'Strength Through Adversity' above the steps in the tunnel maybe counts as our motto? We've been through far more adversity than any glory so it is quite fitting for us!

I'm glad we don't have a motto on our club crest though.

Forte via adversicus?

 

[s4-blade]

No fannying abart

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Real quality. My favourite to date. Can you do Greasy chip buttie into Latin?

Lardus frite sarnie?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

No fannying abart

Non Vag arundis

 

[Cerberus Blade]

Glad to see that Vulgar Latin is still alive.

My old school motto that one. I do miss Waltheof!

 

[Jehovah]

"I've got a good feeling about Adkins"

 

[seanbeenstattoo]

No, but SBT will translate the sentence into Latin.

Pig Bastards got it dry no lube balls deep up the tradesmans. Again.

 

[MightyBlades]

Res non verba

[SW12 to S12 to S18]

The Latin motto on the Spurs badge caught my eye the other day, and I had a look at other clubs' mottoes, several of which are well-known (Everton, Man City, etc.). I then realised that I didn't know United's motto, and a quick search suggests that we never had one. Apparently for the 1925 and possibly the 1936 Cup Finals we wore the city badge with its Latin motto, but we appear never to have had a motto of our own. The likes of Bury and Yeovil, to pick at random 2 'lesser' clubs, have one, so why did we never have one? Was the Board being mean-spirited? Was the club formed for the common man who would not know Latin? Curious. The wits on here might like to suggest one for future use.

Mine is Copius bibendum fuckus expendium. I just made that up.
