Brucie, you have many issues

The midfield got better, but the spark came from the front four.

Going to claim it as British Archaic if that's ok, as no American in me at all. True reason I chose this grammatical structure is that once upon a time, in a land far away, my girlfriend of the time, and of that land, commented on my use of said structure as the most beautiful English, so therefore I retain a soft spot.

And a present day Americanism it may be, but certainly one that stems from the 'beautiful' complexity of our all encompassing language.

It may be archaic English, but now it's American! I'll let you off this time, but in future just watch it..!! :rules:

Grammar and spelling does get to me sometimes I'll admit, but hope not to pick anyone up on it just as I'll try not to offend anyone with any 'habits' i have picked up over time.

And as for being educated and from Kent, yes both are true, but not especially. Spent more of my life in Devon anyway.

Anyway, we played well in the second half!

That is a put-down of the highest quality and no mistake.

Oscar Wilde would no doubt shake your hand and Olivia Wilde would shag you...

...were it not for the fact that the former is dead and the latter has eyes.
