Interesting term of phrase on the second line of the first paragraph.
Interesting that you should use the – as it happens, incorrect – phrase “term of phrase” when what you should have said – to be correct – was “turn of phrase”.
it sort of precludes you from arguing about the relative correctness of, well er, other turns of phrase, doesn’t it? Well, it does in my opinion which, as we have apparently already established on this forum, is the only opinion that is allowed.[/quote]
Oh dear, it would appear that the mighty (and I am talking weight here) Wigan literary genius has finally resorted to correcting typo’s as his underlining defence against being proven wrong (again). Did you have to wait for the doctor to clear your stress levels before coming up with that gem of an excuse. Further, if you look at it again you will see that my use of “term of phrase” for the reference to “FA Cup Champions” in the report is indeed correct. Now here is a little bit of homework for you, please use google (ask an adult to supervise – there is some nasty stuff on the net) and look up “turn of phrase”. I am not turning anything, I am referencing – now go and sharpen your crayons before writing again.
Also it precludes me from nothing, and your opinion means jack to me; further your use of the ‘Royal we’ shows you for the narcissist you truly are. Now behave yourself and grow up will you.
Typo’s? – Let he who is without sin cast the first stone eh? Check one of your recent replies to this thread (I’ll give you a clue: what does it’c mean?)
Sorry I couldn’t resist this, it made me chuckle in the club shop is a T shirt with FA CUP CHAMPIONS we know what we are , I think that ends the debate .Spot on Grumpy, and to think that that the club had them printed only to be ironic and patronising to the loyal supporters eh? Hey, never mind – a half dozen Oxford/English graduates in the West Stand can have a grumble about it over their next weekly book meeting.
Interesting term of phrase on the second line of the first paragraph. A typo – typographical error – is a mistake made by the fingers.
To write ‘term of phrase’ instead of ‘turn of phrase’ is a mistake or misunderstanding of idiom. That is a mental error rather than a typo.
We could be here for a long time if we’re going to analyse all the errors in posts. It’s usually enough for a poster to make himself/herself understood.

Fuck me, where’s Arky’s keepnet when you need it?
I don’t need Google to tell me that “term of phrase” isn’t a typo at all on your part, it is simply a case of you using competely the wrong words. You have a go at my weight, but Jesus, you must have some proper fat fingers to get to turn from term!
And yes, “it’c” is definitely a typo. Good spot, well done, you! But, unlike you, I wouldn’t bother to point it out, as it was clearly just that – a typo, not a spelling mistake, nor a misuse of grammar, just a simple case of me hitting an adjacent key in error. It must have taken you half an hour to get round all the keys you needed to get turn of phrase wrong.
Anyway, it’s rather disappointing that you’re back. It’s been quite pleasant on here lately without you.
Oh yeah, finally. I take it your use of ‘underlining’ was deliberate? Because everyone else would have used ‘underlying’.
Do you have a spade, or would you like to borrow mine?

Bob on, and apologies for repeating some of what you said, but I hadn’t read your post when I made mine.
I really, really hope that I am the butt of a huge wind up on this, and one day he will turn up in the Brick and announce that “we got you good style there Griff, it was me all along” and we’ll all have a good laugh about it.
However, I only have one granddad mate who posts on here and I know it isn’t her. I suspect therefore, he’s just a real sad, deluded, illiterate individual. Very bad tempered though, a bit like that little short-arsed character Harry Enfield used to do.
George any chance of locking this thread before someone gets taken away in a straight jacket. :woohoo:

Calm down lad, you’ll bust a blood vessel in your state. Of course I’ll admit I was wrong to use typo for my malapropism (see it’s easy to admit you were wrong, you must try it, no honestly try it). I was still laughing at you casting the first stone with your typo’s and erred – hilarious, almost as funny as calling a grandad figure ‘her’ in one of your last posts. But I digress.
So you found it disappointing my return eh? Then why did you stew over trying to get one over me for outing you as someone delusional and always wrong (and too arrogant to admit it). You could have left well alone and I would probably have not responded, but you had to (try) and have the last word. So I proved you wrong (yet again) – bit of a habit this for you isn’t it; your deft slip to use the “Arkeys Net” excuse was almost as funny as your spade reference. I suggest you keep hold of it for yourself and maybe invest in a very long handle for it.
It was cute of Barnsley wanting to hold your hand, reminded me of granddaughter’s last nativity play. Try holding hands in the Brick over a half of mild under the bell (it’s quiet there). By the way you could probably put a plan of action together to stop the fans singing “We built this city on saus-age rolls” – It is so wrong, don’t they know the words.
Remember, quit while you are behind, it wont hurt your ego as much.
Tara fat lad – your are seriously boring me now with your constant air of wrongness I wouldn’t want to catch anything.

It’s running out of steam, despite Arsene desperately looking over his shoulder as Arsenal falter and Roberto takes Everton to within sight of a place in the top four.
Will he, won’t he, do it?

With every post you make yourself look even more stupid. Perfectly calm and happy lad, always have been. How could I not be, with my own personal knobhead to laugh at every day
