Not got a Range Rover – wouldn’t have one.
On topic though, I heard today of Americans who were asked about who they thought would win and said that either Inter Milan or Barcelona would. Another knew that Man United would be playing, but wasn’t sure whether they were at home on Saturday.
Beats the complaint a few years ago when some American moaned they’d be playing Trinidad & Tobago, when everyone else just had to play one team. :shock:
I’m going to ignore all the bad grammar this once and just agree with you!
This does not need it’s own thread at all.
Oh, the irony. I pledged to ignore all the grammar posts and then this beauty came along.[/quote]
Please Griff.. Why is this a ‘beauty’?[/quote]
It’s quite simple – but you have to remember that a spell-checker wouldn’t pick it up on its own.
It’s ironic, but that in fact is its beauty.

“Teacher’s pet” has an apostrophe.
An apostrophe is used to denote possession (John’s book, Roberto’s selections etc) or omissions (He’s not very bright, I’ve given up).
Simples.
From today’s WEP:
“LATICS could miss out on Hamilton star James McArthur after Championship new boys Leeds United joined the race for his signature.McArthur, 22, looked like he’d be following former Accies team-mate James McCarthy to the DW Stadium this summer after Latics declared an interest towards the end of last season.
It was claimed the midfielder, who has 12 months remaining on his contract, would travel down to Wigan for a short trial ahead of a transfer believed to be worth around £800,000.
McArthur’s agent, however, insists this is not the case, and admitted Birmingham, Cardiff and Rangers are also in the running for his prized signature.
Willie McKay told the Evening Post: “There are a few clubs who have made their interest known to Hamilton, and we’re waiting to see what happens next.
“He is obviously still a Hamilton player, and we have to wait for them to give us the green light to speak to any club that makes them an acceptable offer.
“James may even decide to run his contract down and make a decision next year when he’ll be on a free transfer.
“He won’t be going anywhere on trial, though.”
McArthur and McCarthy are close pals from their days with the SPL outfit, and both men have admitted the prospect of teaming up once again in the Premier League is hugely tempting.
McKay added: “James and James are good friends, and that would obviously be a huge attraction of joining Wigan.
“We’ve also dealt with Roberto Martinez and Graeme Jones before, and they’re good people who know a good player when they see one. I know Wigan like him a lot, but I don’t know about whether they have the finances.”
There is more, but note the final sentence – “don’t know whether they have the finances”…
Another greedy agent** talking their player into thinking they are worth more than clubs (or at least sensibly-financially-managed clubs like us) are willing to pay.
He’s unproven – if he wants to play Championship football then that’s fine by me.
** Only just realised it’s the usual suspect.
A good site for old shirts… http://www.historicalkits.co.ukThe 88-89 Wigan shirt was our worse for a long time, although I dont remember the Pink Heinz Logo from August 1989..
Here are some terrible Jocky Shirts from yesteryear…

I’m not convinced that the gold 1925/26 shirt is corect – and you’ll notice that all the info comes from me anyway!!
There’s a cigarette card showing Boro playing Bradford PA and Boro have a pale blue shirt.
Bolivia lost both games they played in the 1930 finals (Yugoslavia and Brazil) by 4-0.
Do I get a prize?? ;)
Too easy, my boy.
Range Rover.
By the way – I hate them – particularly mothers on the school run.
to be fair, there’s not many of ’em round Ashton, GL :) [/quote]
Garswood must be full of them[/quote]White vans actually :D
Wigan will face Real Zaragoza at the DW Stadium on August 4. “It will be a great exercise to face a side with the quality they possess,” says Roberto MartinezA few reasonable players in their squad: besides Jermaine Pennant and Jiri Jarosik, there’s Edmilson who’s got a World Cup Final medal, and a few other internationals: Carlos Diogo (Uruguay), Ikechukwu Uche (Nigeria) and Eliseu (Portugal).
