Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 21 December 2015 Posted 21 December 2015 I think this is our best route to winning it. Beat Man City and keep getting results and suddenly find ourselves 10pts clear after Man City and Arsenal stutter. Then hold on for dear life. :xmasbiggrin: If we can get through to the middle of February and still be top our next nine games are all winnable. Home Norwich West Brom Newcastle Southampton West Ham Swansea Away Watford Palace Sunderland All the games are winnable! If only Arsenal hadn't been absolutely fantastic when we played them, we'd be unbeaten after playing nearly everyone!
fuchsntf Posted 21 December 2015 Posted 21 December 2015 Clean slate: we're on 0 points. Try and get 40. Thats how I see it...
filbertway Posted 21 December 2015 Posted 21 December 2015 :xmaslaugh: I blame you all for this terrible language you've spread across the world. The English invented rules that are followed only some of the time. There are words that are spelled the same way but pronounced differently. I'm not sure if it's true throughout America, but around here if you use the city's name (which is singular) we use "is," and if you use the team's name (if it's plural) then we use "are." So "Leicester is going to win the league. The Foxes are unbeatable." It sounds awkward to start a sentence with "Leicester are ......" Ahh that explains why you guys use it then. I see Leicester as the team name so that's probably why. So, would you say "Arsenal are going to beat Man City tonight" seeing as the city is London? This is educational haha.
AKCJ Posted 21 December 2015 Posted 21 December 2015 Clean slate: we're on 0 points. Try and get 40. Hadn't thought of it that way. 21 games to try and get 40 points would be top 4 form and also perfectly achievable for these lads.
filbertway Posted 21 December 2015 Posted 21 December 2015 This is a Football forum, with no prizes for the correct use of notional agreement, why the stress.? It's really weird!

It would be Leicester is and Leicester City are. This is what we call AP-style.
