    I guess you were at Bestival then. I hope Leftfield were as good as they were performing Leftism in Barrowlands a few months back. They blew my mind! Brian Wilson is also here next week but I plumped for Pixies instead.

    In an effort to stay on topic, I tried my luck with the Mrs for a shot at going to Brian Wilson too but with my brownie points spent, I was just clutching at straws.

    I'd say that's more comfortably holding than grasping

    Think you need to go back to college if you think straw can't be used as an adjective.

    I would like to apologise for starting the conversation about straw, or straws.
    Can we keep this thread about the football now? Let's get through to the end of the summer window, when hopefully, things round here will get a little more stable.

    I beleive that in this case 'straw' would be being used as an adjectival noun, to describe something more precisely, like a blue car, which further describes the noun 'car'. Or 'boring old pedant', further describing 'old pedant', or green coat, as in "I'll get my green coat now" :bandit:

    Yes, we need to elaborate further on the straw discussion.
    Wonder if Virgil likes straw?

    Actually, I suppose if we can make it to the end of the window just talking about all this ****e, we'll all be pretty happy. Apart that is, from the few scousers who venture on here.

    'Blue' is an adjective too. Adjectives describe nouns. That's their function. There is no other type of adjective.

    All the examples you give are adjectives.

    Black, please get back on topic. I notice there is no mention of straw in your post.

    Reports suggesting Liverpool are willing to double Van Dijk's straw.
