We need 5 years of Ehab-free rehab in which the fanbase is steadily restored to 2008 levels of noise and numbers, and the hunger to return and we'll take 39,000 no probs. Massive clubs take massive numbers to Wembley because it's decades since they last played there, and it's a trip of a lifetime or at least a generation ot two . Man City play there so often they now ever sell out. Familiarity breeds contempt.
There. A secret friend. If they have played there regularly it won't be a few years since they did. Another secret friend.
We only look 1,000 to a semi-final at Old Trafford. The first time we had got that far in the competition so the novelty can't have worn off. Middlesbrough, who have been to League Cup finals took 9,500. We didn't sell out our allocation at Watford and the KC was 2,500 short of capacity for the 2nd leg.
So…can we start a sentence with and? So the heart of the ban on starting a sentence with ‘and’ or ‘but’ seems to lie in the fact that they are coordinating rather than subordinating conjunctions, and as such are typically used to link elements of equal status within a sentence. The argument against using ‘and’ or ‘but’ to introduce a sentence is that such a sentence expresses an incomplete thought (or ‘fragment’) and is therefore incorrect. However, this is a stylistic preference rather than a grammatical ‘rule’. If your teachers or your organization are inflexible about this issue, then you should respect their opinion, but ultimately, it’s just a point of view and you’re not being ungrammatical. If you want to defend your position, you can say that it’s particularly useful to start a sentence with these conjunctions if you’re aiming to create a dramatic or forceful effect.
I remember being really shocked by that first leg at Watford. It was the most important game in the clubs recent history and i was surrounded by so many empty seats. Great result though.
