I wonder which way we are heading, FA cup final and promotion or knocked out on sat and no promotion . Its been a great season and brilliant defence of our trophy . :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:
I just hope we avoid QPR in the play offs as our record against them ain’t that great especially at Loftus Rd.[/quote]
I agree about our record, but, by the same token, in order to win any competition you have to meet and beat the best of the rest. For me I’m not bothered who we meet and when; like The Torch said – seat belt on (but me and Grandson will also be wearing a silly grin and be ready to sing any song that breaks out around us).
Again, we’re going to win you again (now that is comedy genius) – I do object to the Town full of P**** though.
All we have here is a (small) group of ‘educated’ football supporters arguing the toss whether a football chant is grammatically correct or not – those that choose to sing champions couldn’t give a toss. I’d argue that even some of those who find champions offensive were guilty of singing it out loud themselves in the heat of the moment at a very important match (they even admitted to doing the Poznan as well). Who cares (really) what is sung as long as it adds to great atmosphere – and shuts up the Leeds fans at the same time. Shall we write to Greg Dyke asking that he puts a task force together to regularise the chants for each stadium and fine those breaking the grammar police rules. We are not the only club to have this type of chant (some even still play music after a goal is scored – how very working class). Now if anyone is really bothered why don’t those in the West Stand start singing the correct version for them so that they can learn from the learned – oh that’s right no bugger sings in the West Stand they just tut loudly and suck on their mints at the incredulous youth enjoying themselves across t’other side.
Put it to bed lads, no one is bothered what the minority think (whether correct or not) and it’s not going to change.
I can’t see what this debate is even about other than ‘griffopinion’ being law, every dictionary describes the winning person, team or institution as champions.
I wondered who would make it personal first. The smart money in the Griffin household was actually on that other old twat, not you. So, it’s all my opinion, is it?

I don’t normally read any tripe you put onto here, however, Grandson pointed out this little nugget and thought it hilarious. You see, here you go again being wrong – and then admitting it on this board. As much as I’m flattered that I can be a topic of conversation in the ‘Griffin household’ (and here was me thinking that you weren’t bothered and that nothing got under your skin) I find that you were wrong (again) about who was going to make it personal first. Actually, if you really want to look back, it was you that became ‘personal’ first in the previous thread.
Now then, you should be totally ashamed of yourself involving your family because you have made them, too, look right chumps. How is your missus going to feel when talking to her mates and they start giggling behind her back, or look away in embarrassment – worse still just think of pointing and sniggers in the school yard.
Look lad, you stick to being up-your-own-arse and let everything else lie eh? Think of your family lad, they don’t deserve the humiliation. I’m off now so all the best from “the old twat” family
Unfortunately the “well nobody has ever used that phrase to describe themselves before” is hardly the most convincing argument around. All words & phrases originate somewhere
At the end of the day it is grammatically acceptable & (more importantly) it fits in with the song far better than “winners”
Mind you, I’m also the kind of guy who has always found the use of “Crwho?” amusing to describe our friends from Gresty RoadYou’ve said this before and it doesn’t!
Winners is two syllables / two beats: ‘FA Cup Wi ners’
Champions is three syllables unless they change it to ‘Champ yuns’[/quote]
I suppose the same way as everyone enunciates the classic “blue and white army”
or is that adapted to fit the chant also.
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 dayAye, alright lad.
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?)[/quote]
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?[/quote]
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.
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.

I think we have the maximum number of loan players already – which is why he let Browning go back to Everton so he could bring in Tunnicliffe.McCann was the best thing Coyle did for Wigan and he will be missed. For the first half he was immense at left centre back and a tribute that he saw out the first half with a fractured knee cap.
I think that the amount of loan players a team can have may have been cleared up a few weeks ago in that you can have any amount but only have 5 (I think) in a squad on match day. I think he let Browning go to release him from the (loan) wage bill as bringing in anyone else now would cost the club in wages.
Think that Barnsley has covered the problem with his suggestions and I personally don’t think that we need worry yet (if we get another serious injury then that’s a different matter)If Chris McCann’s injury put’s him out, then i can see Uve using the loan window again. The window closes 28th March.Fingers crossed it isn’t serious, but if it is then we’ll need holding midfielder cover. i don’t think Uve sees Perch as an option ?
Tunnicliffe is cup tied, leaving Espinoza in there with McArthur potentially
Looks like he’s out for the rest of the season. Uwe needs to put his thinking cap on now.
No, it is you this time that has spectacularly missed the point. It was not the fact that you dismissed AF as a potential manager in your little team but the manner in which you did so.
Contrary to what you might think, there are a fair few people who frequent this forum whose opinion I value/respect/take note of.
You most certainly aren’t one of them, so save yourself the effort of trying to give me the benefit of your ‘wisdom’. You really are wasting your time.[/quote]
“give the benefit of my wisdom?” i wouldn’t give you the steam off my cack lad. And “contrary to what you might think” – how the hell do you know what i think, there’s arrogance for you.
Wasting my time? that much that you can’t let it go and keep having to have a go. Look just leave it will you, admit your faults, admit you are not always right, admit it is only your opinion and that other have theirs (even if they differ from you) and watch that weight; stress it’s the silent killer you know.
I believe Sir Alex likes a glass of red wine, but is he really addicted to it?
He’s not a candidate for manager in my eyes.
But then, I haven’t been out on the town with him. Others may know him better.
My point exactly.[/quote]
No, it is you this time that has spectacularly missed the point. It was not the fact that you dismissed AF as a potential manager in your little team but the manner in which you did so. Barnsley, you remind me of the time AF stood by Keane after he had admitted that he had deliberately gone out to injure that Haagland fella.
Of course it’s only a bit of fun. Nowhere was I suggesting that “there can be no changes”. What drugs are you on? So, yet again you have spectactularly misunderstood what I was saying. Perhaps it’s best if you stop responding to my posts if you can’t understand them.“And he was doing ok for a couple of days”? Who do you think you are, you arrogant get?! You seriously think I have ‘changed’ under pressure from you? Give your head a shake.
Barnsley has aleready pointed out why I think that Alex Ferguson was a ‘ridiculous’ suggestion. I’ll patiently await your ‘but I was only winding you up” post once it sinks in how you have made yourslef look like a chump. Very angry, all you old men aren’t you?
Calm down lad, you know that all that stress is not good for your cholesterol levels. You’ll do yourself an injury. I do like the idea that you rolled out the ‘good old drugs’ reference (makes you sound grown up that does) and it is only your arrogance that says that I ‘spectacularly misunderstood’ because I didn’t.
Don’t flatter yourself that anyone cares about your demeanour, you were (look I’ve done bold lettering) doing ok for a couple of days.
Your crappy defence to think that I would respond with the ‘I was just winding you up’ response again shows you to be the chump here lad.
Grow up will ya, and seriously watch them blood vessels, you are the only one here to get so angry about any post that does not go your way. Have a wee think about it, missus was right you know, I bet you were bullied at school.
During a conversation at our Thursday Night Football last week about my 5-4-Friday, we digressed to a Football XI of players known for addictions of some sort, or at least a very well documented liking for something they shouldn’t.
We came up with a decent team – if only you could keep them out of the pub/bookies/pharmacy!
GK – Peter Shilton
RB – Gary Charles
CB – Tony Adams
CB – Paul McGrath
LB – Kenny SansomRM – Paul Merson
CM – Bryan Robson
CM – Paul Gascoigne
LM – George BestFW – Diego Maradona
FW – Jimmy GreavesManager – Brian Clough/Howard Kendall
Any improvements?
Apart from a quite ridiculous suggestion of Alex Ferguson, nobody has managed to come up with anyone that we hadn’t already considered. However, I should probably have pointed out that selection for the team was based on a vague formula comprising a combination of quality of player and level/notoriety of alleged addictedness. That’s why Roy Carroll/Warren Aspinall were considered, for example, but were ultimately rejected in favour of better players.[/quote]
Shakes head and walks away.
Do you ever wonder why people turn away from this site.[/quote]
Spot on observation there edinburghlatic. Maybe his closing line should have read: Right this is our defining team, don’t bother with adding to it as we’ve made our mind up that there can be no changes because I/we know best for everbody. After all it’s only a bit of fun, my fun. And he was doing ok for a couple of days as well. Leopard and spots comes to mind.
