Match Day Thread Watford vs Southampton. Sat, 9 Dec 15:00

Don't worry I am sure if we ask nicely, Godders or Chilco will give us a match report

 

Match Day. Buzzing (in a hornet sense).

 

I have a good feeling about today.

Normally get up at 7am to workout, but got up at 6am as had to drive to Southampton, the home of football, to pick up my dad from a cruise. Did a nice hard workout, got in the car, arrived at dock 4 at 8:15 and they were ready waiting, back home after dropping them off at 9:15. Got in, Prince had his 3 morning tablets straight away from my hand (we always struggle every morning with them), and had my first cup of coffee. Emptied the dishwasher quicker than the kettle could boil and now having my second coffee ( a lovely Illy's Forte) with a butter croissant.

The day will continue up until about 5pm tonight as lovely and plain sailing as it has been.

Did anyone mention its Matchday

 

Just in case. It's Matchday

 

We'll pull the hornet's sting. Hope the apostrophe pendants are happy with its use in this context.

 

Nice that Le Tissier's Laces liked the post.

 

You did this on purpose…

 

Who me sir? No sir not me sir no, don't know nufink about nufink me.

 

It's wet, it's windy and I woke up with a cold. Still ****ing going though.

 

I was windy this morning fortunately not wet. Safe journey all travelling Saints superb support as always.

 

Its the, slightly delayed, second leg of that one today so prepare for Extra Time

 

Speaking on behalf of pedants everywhere, the apostrophe is fine. I'm not sure how the pendants will feel, though

 

I'll just hang around until we find out or until someone suspends this post.

 

Pendants of the world unite you know when it's wrong or right.

 

Should that be XI-0, as it’s the olden days?

 

It must be said that there other punctuation marks besides the aforementioned apostrophe whose correct use must be closely monitored. Grammar pendants often include punctuation marks in their remit.

 

I like a fellow pedant’s post on apostrophes. Pedants unite I say.

Pendants can swing for us though

 

Actually, “Hornets” in this context is plural, so the apostrophe should follow the s, not precede it, i.e. hornets’.

 

Really? If you’re pulling a single hornet’s sting then “hornet’s” is appropriate.

Hornets’ be if you we’re removing the sting from a whole group of hornets.
