Con un nombre como Juan Cornetto, ¿cómo esperas que sea la palabra perfecta en Inglés. Tenemos un dicho en mi país acerca de la gente pedante como tú

De todos modos pensé que habías dicho que usted no lee mis mensajes ya?

I said I didn't read 'a' message of yours.

That's a wee bit different to what you're now saying here.

A lonely 'Ded-Ed' remains in the dark but has to look to the right to see blue skies

Or look to the left, even.

Oh. But he is looking to the right and not the left!

To return to the play-off topic ( I didn't read the end of the play for two actors over pages 4,5 and 6 I'm afraid).

I can see that there are cons to the current format, but it does keep the season alive and certainly hasn't, as far as I can tell, dimmed anybody's enthusiasm for the regular rounds. SO, while I see the logic, it doesn't appear to have actually happened in real life. As such it seems a slight red herring to me, in using the play-off structure to explain a phenomenon that hasn't actually occurred.

I definitely don't buy the "5th is better than 4th" line. The end result is that, to get to Old Trafford, either Leeds or Hudds probably always had to beat Wire. But Huddersfield would get to do it at the second attempt, Leeds could only ever have one attempt. So that's advantage Huddersfield. There is the matter of a head-to-head meeting. Which Huddersfield get to be at home for. So the deck seems to me to be substantially better stacked for 4th place than 5th.

My only real problem with the top 8 format is that it is too likely to throw up repeat fixtures, in that both the semi finals (proper ones, I lose track of all this qualifying, elimination etc stuff - the round where there are 2 matches with the winners getting to the final seems like a semi final round to me...) are fairly likely to be re-runs of the top 4's first round fixtures.

¿cuál es la palabra española para el pedante, entonces?

just two words whining muppets CUP WINNERS.

Thanks for your contribution. Mind the door doesn't bang your arris on the way out.

given after you said two words....shouldnt that be 4 words?

"Whining muppets cup winners" is four words.

Go directly to FAIL. Do not pass 'Go'. Do not collect £200.

look to the left Ed!If only

Mi español no es muy buena, así que no sé la palabra española para pedante!



Mi vocabulario es cada vez mejor pero todavía tengo problemas para conjugar los verbos. Estoy seguro de que va a entender.

Es bueno que hayas aprendido algo útil cuando se fueron los invitados de Su Majestad la Reina.

My Spanish is not very good, so I do not know the Spanish word for pedantic!

My vocabulary is getting better but still I have trouble conjugating verbs. I'm sure you will understand.

It's good that you learned something useful if you were the guests of Her Majesty the Queen.

It shouldnt be any of that for me.... either
A) Top of the league at end of regular season is champion!! End of!! Nevermind giving hope to teams finishing in 8th flippin place!!! 8th is 8th!! Not good enough
B) Top 4 play off with a random draw format, winner of each match play off in "FINAL" at Old Trafford or Wembley.
C) Top 8 play off in same format as B. Neutral venues.

All these permutations which are in place ala "club calling" are just a money spinning ridiculous format!

Would a full time tenant be less humorous?

Bags I Lewis Jones!
