Re: Bolton v Baggies - Match thread
I hesitate to say American English is wrong (others wouldn't). Americans would always say 'Stoke is a good team', however, in proper English, it would almost always be 'Stoke are'. There is an argument that grammatically it should be 'Stoke was the last fixture', not 'Stoke were the last fixture' b...

Re: Bolton v Baggies - Match thread
Stoke ARE a better team is how Brits would say it (unless they are wrong!) Spain are the World Cup holders.... (not "is") That is SO grammatically incorrect. :evil: Hi, me again. Capt. Fun. It isn't grammatically incorrect. Singular collective nouns can take plural verbs, normally where it is a gro...

Re: klasnic
Honestly. I'm properly boring. But yeah, it would be unlikely that the likelihood him being left out of the squad will be good for us is 50%. That there are only two possibilities doesn't mean they are equally as likely. Don't worry, I hate myself too. I'd ask to be banned, but then I'd be stuck at...

Re: Bolton v Baggies - Match thread
Only to wind up an arsenal fan, get a room! Important we dont lose. Klasnic dropping off and linking up may be the key. Davies not having the legs an all. main thinfs are the nrc/muamba axis.and no petrov. (another) big one this, stringing two results together being elusive an all... Don't like the...

Re: Bolton v Baggies - Match thread
Spain is singular! Hence, Spain is a lovely country! Hence, Spain is a good football team! IS, IS, IS! Why you gotta be all up in my grill about his?!? so would you say "Birmingham is the League Cup champion"? No, because I'm not a fan of Birmingham! :evil: But yes, I think that is more correct tha...

Wait... so you're saying this is correct: "This team ARE a better team?"thebish wrote:no!Eloy wrote:Wait... "Stoke" is singular... Hence, "is" is correct.thebish wrote:

It's like saying "This team IS better than that team." You wouldn't say "This team ARE better..."
Eloy's right, no?

Re: Bolton v Baggies - Match thread
It was a excellent team performance against stoke so why change it, no one deserves to be dropped so lets keep the same team and if its not going well we can always make changes. Don't understand why we should change the formation to 4-5-1 sat its only west brom if we were playing against liverpool...

I watched the Gulliver's Travels yesterday... Jack Black was fat and he was surrounded by some tiny people. Didn't really follow the plot closely but I think it was a Hollywood adaptation of the Smurfs... Yep, what a terible let down that was. .... & only one thread of the original book too. Waste ...
