Abysmal spelling of you're.

TBF this thread was started today. It's also a saints website and this is in the lounge where not many people go...
-
You love them? OK to not find them offensive or whatever but love? It's a pretty uninspiring design and if we continued with similar designs I don't think any adjective I would use would be love.

Phillip Hammond - Bigger pr*ck than Liam Fox
hypochondriac replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Lounge
Can we change Alpine's name to moral panic? I love how he uses one example and extrapolates that to every experience in Britain. I'm not so enamored when he posts links to the Daily Mail to tell me how disgusting something is (granted it is the telegraph this time...) -
I suspect he means it is unoriginal because it looks very similar to that old liverpool kit and unimaginative because from a distance it looks completely red so there isn't much imagination in comparison to say the sash kit or other kits we have had down the years.
-
It isn't strange at all. We have two CM players that are possibly premier class. We definitely need a third.
-
No promises, but I have a feeling that the statue vote is about to swing again back to the third option.
-
I think The9 is entitled to be a bit smug after alpine threw his toys out of the pram.
-
Which is of course my entire point. Nadal was the best on all four at a time but at that point Federer was past his best. I'm not sure it is that difficult to understand...
-
I swear you wilfully ignore my posts and read what you want to read.
-
I started writing a reply but couldn't be bothered as I am boring myself. I think my point was obvious. Nadal has certain skills which mean he is excellent on all surfaces but the best on clay. Federer's skills mean that at his peak he was the best on more than just one surface.
-
I never said Nadal was not an all-rounder. FFS...
-
Your saintsweb reputation rests on this...
-
Where did I say Nadal was just a clay court player? I said he is clearly the best clay court player whilst Federer was MORE of an all-rounder at his peak (more being the critical word there.)
-
My mate does that when we play squash. He isn't even any good. Really f*cks me off...
-
Are you ITK? We shall see!
-
Nadal is the ultimate clay court player. I don't think Federer is amazingly superior on grass like Nadal is on clay but at his best he was more of an all-rounder. Yes he does but many of them were on clay and often the reason they didn't play in slams was because Nadal had lost in an earlier round and Federer subsequently won.
-
Nah I can't agree with that. Nadal's game is sooo superior to anyone elses on clay that it isn't a fair comparison. Nadal's game is also mainly based on raw power which is impressive but not so great as the inventiveness from Roger. Put it this way, with both at the top of their game, I would rather watch Federer every single time. Plus he hasn't lost in a slam to a player outside of the top 30 since 2004 (they just mentioned that). It's an incredible record. Anyway I really hope Roger wins this year.
-
Yep. There was no way Federer was going to lose that final set once he won the fourth. The other guy's belief had gone.
-
For me too as well. Certainly the best to watch and the person you watch with open-mouthed awe at some of his shots (like the through the legs ones he does.)
-
Rarely am I annoyingly pedantic like MLG. In other news Federer wins. Get in.
-
FFS you knew what I meant. Don't be a tool. Anyway my definition of amazing and yours differ greatly.
-
No it isn't, it is factual. There can only be one winner so everyone else is a loser. Do you think Roger cares about anything other than winning the slams? Do you think he gives a stuff about challenger tournaments or anything else really? Of course he doesn't because Federer is a winner. You may consider it harsh but I bet it is how the top three think. Oh and Federer takes it to a fifth. Unlike Murray he is not a loser...
-
Yep that is the one cheers! You really are the MLG of kits ha.
-
You already agreed that grand slams are what matter and what he will be remembered for. It's like if a football team has an immaculate qualifying record. I personally don't care about anything in tennis except the four slams since being able to perform in them and win is what counts. By definition, everyone in the Premier League last season was a loser in that competition except Man City because they failed to win it. It's not a matter of opinion it is a fact.
