Match Day Thread Proper football is almost here! PRESEASON TIME!

Why not?

 

Stream of consciousness - that's good too

 

Give a ****.*





*Pick that one apart.

 

does a stream of consciousness not have any punctuation

 

Debatable.

 

This isn't strictly true. The need to pause for breath is a physical requirement and has little to do with written grammar. People often pause for breath in places that would make little sense if transcribed to text.
A comma is more correctly used to separate discrete clauses within a sentence and help indicate the emphases that would be obvious in speech.
The rules for comma usage are complex and not necessarily universally applied. House styles vary.

 

"One of my life goals is to make Jose Mourinho smile"

Gotta love Klopp.

 

I just read an article stating that the last friendly in the US, against Manchester utd is nowhere near sold out. if fact it coyld be half empty stadoum.

i have seen Michigan stadium and it's massive but apparently you can pay up to $500 for prime seats despite this not being even cl9se to sold out.

this seems a giant rip off at this point and high time it stops.

 

what a man.

I can imagine him clowning all game just to get the miserable git crack the merest flicker imo a smile.

one man is aging rapidly and looks miserable in life.

the other is a nutty awkward ball of energy.

 

Love this....

 

Very few "star" players there this year because of the WC, every game has been poor on attendance compared to past pre-seasons there from European teams.

 

that's your excuse

we had no such problems. first game only keita. second game mane and salah bench.
if what you say is true nobody is showing up as Henderson is not there

 

Wow.... training pics from Michigan stadium up.. **** me shaqiri is fat.

 

Seriously though I think his issue is about 5 years in stokes weight room. It will take klopp about 6months min to get him into footballing shape

 

#fattist

 

No no..

merely chunkyist

 

It's a literary style with no rules. I can't remember the name of the book but I'm sure when I studied the Beat Generation writers there was one who wrote a book that was just one sentence. Lots of punctuation but just one full stop.

 

Well obviously commas aren't used just for pauses for breath but look who I was explaining it to

Thank you for the lesson in their use. Having had Eats, Shoots and Leaves thrust upon me in the first year of my degree, there's not much I don't know about punctuation. Whether or not I use it is another matter

 

^^^^ rattled

Sorry if that came across as didactic, it was only meant to be a discussion.
Despite the accusations on here, I don't consider myself to be an expert on grammar. I'm interested in words and their creative potential, so vocabulary is more my thing.
