Actually I’d say the United programme was the best £4 I spent in 2017. Still, you know best...in fact you know everything, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Corner Posted January 23, 2018 Report Share Posted January 23, 2018 18 hours ago, El Hombrecito said: It's common usage in British English to use the plural verb for collective nouns. For example, you wouldn't say "Manchester City is travelling to Bristol City tomorrow night", you'd say "Manchester City are travelling to Bristol City tomorrow night". Whatever the correct use, let’s hope they are/is travelling to Bristol City then as, if they are, we can rack up a huge score before they arrive.

I think most people understood the point I was making. Perhaps you'd rather Korey Smith had put his shot wide so you didn't have to go to a cup semi final and didn't have to pay £4 for a programme again. I personally, was joking - a larger programme would require deeper pockets for storage The United one was very good to be fair to the club, well worth £4 and you would pay that for a magazine (which would not be memorabilia from a high point of recent years) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dying to know what you got for £4 that was so superior to a cherished memento of one of the greatest games in our history though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
