BaaLocks Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I actually quite like Liverpool, I'm of that age where I remember watching them rule Europe. Players like Keegan, Dalglish, Clemence, Kennedy, McDermott were a joy for the neutral to watch. But this is just daft - I can think of 80+ league clubs who would have killed to have had a twenty years as 'bad days'. Treble of Cups? Istanbul? Michael Owen and Robbie Fowler? If that is the definition of bad days then bring it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turk Thrust Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 More grammatical errors. This time it’s “there, their and they’re “. their, means belonging to or associated with the people or things previously mentioned or easily identified.(I don’t like their strip) there, means in, at or to that place or position (let’s go over there) though it can also mean to focus attention (there, I told you we’d win) or to comfort (there there, never mind) they’re, means they are (they’re rubbish) its simple. I can’t understand why people get them confused ? and don’t get me started on those posters who don’t know the difference between lose and loose, or of and have (should of etc) Grrr ?

This used to wind me up too. To the point where I even went to a psychiatrist to calm me down a bit! We talked it through. I opened up to him, and explained why it riled me so much. He then patted me on the head, gave me a big hug, and said "There, Their, They're, Your all better now". Amazingly, he was write!
