Wolves 2-0 Palace: Verdict Thread

[Alan]

I gave up half way through that piece, too much flowery prose as Newbridge said.

This being particularly difficult to get through:

Spotting the run, Moutinho channelled his superpower and disguised a pass with a high backlift, then sand-wedged a caressed chip which fooled, looped over and eradicated five visiting players.

Worst of all, he left out the Oxford comma!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I used the Oxford comma a lot in my previous life. Lawyers love it.

 

[BillyDee]

You can have my Oxford comma when you pry it from my cold, dead, and lifeless hands...

 

[b3h]

I had to Google what an Oxford comma was so screw you all

Love the Moutinho article DW

 

[Tredman]

Had to be done

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Thanks guys.

To think I've not been able to motivate myself to write for ages and all it took was Tim to write a terrible article and I had to prove I could do better without really trying. Thanks Tim.

 

[Derby Wolf]

Second time in a few days the Oxford Comma has come to my attention...

No great a motivator as spite.

Yes, but spite without capability equals disaster. Dan's piece is brilliant and well-written.

You're very kind

It's not really just spite, I'm only jesting. I did need a kick up the arse though and that was it.

I do think I'm a better writer than Tim but I would say that.

Other say it as well - you just are!

 

[Tony Towner]

Needs to work on his bantz though

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Hey, I coined Nathan Rioja. That's bantz for life.

I only used the word 'spite' to connect my comment to Pablo's. I'm a writer too (just finishing my 12th book in my late 70s) and I call it pride (not arrogance) in performance. The point I was making is that pride or drive in itself is not enough. In addition to a bit of luck, writers have to have creative ability and you have it in spades!

Your exchange recently with TT made me realize how closely I'm still connected to the West Midlands. My mother was born in the Lozells area of Birmingham in the shadow of Villa Park and my father was born in Handsworth in the shadow of the Hawthorns. He was always a Baggies supporter but the family moved to Wolverhampton (Wednesfield, Staffs in those days) in 1946 and I found my lifelong love of Wolves in 1953. I've had only two occasions when I temporarily switched my allegiance. In 1954 I joined my Dad in supporting WBA beat Preston in the Cup Final and 1957 I joined my Mom in supporting Villa beat Man Utd in the Cup Final. In 1960, I took my Dad to Wembley to watch Wolves defeat Blackburn 3-0.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

There are so many stories like that from then. People going to the Baggies if Wolves were away. Seems unnatural in the current climate but I sort of like the echo from maybe more innocent times before tribalism became pretty ugly in the late sixties and early seventies. As a man of 48 years old I couldn’t imagine supporting the Albion in any way bar putting some pennies in the pot if they were in danger of going pop. Returning the favour some of their fans did in our darkest days.

Me too, i always use it, much to the annoyance of the systems analysts

On a semi related note I've cancelled my Athletic subscription from the end of the month as I don't see why I should pay full price when there are 40% offers aplenty for new subscribers. I'm working on the theory they'll offer me one after a week or so.

Subscription expired yesterday. 50% offer today. If only Sky was that easy [emoji3]
