Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Wtf.

Why was my post edited by a moderator ffs

 

Not enough z's?

 

True

 

People don't want to watch City's boring foulball

 

They just aren't a big a brand as Liverpool and quite frankly will never will be. It's elitism and not money that counts.

 

That's how I see a journeyman, and that's in any profession imo, certainly in mine. Also add that a journeyman can be someone who hasn't lacked the opportunities to excel but doesn't because of a lack of ability or mindset.

Example of that as managers may be Moyes, Allardyce, Pardew, Koeman, Jol

 

​

I think it's more interesting that the ****test club got 96mil.

82 mil for just for turning up. They then are assured of a certain amount of tv days.

 

Yeah allardyce... perfect.

 

Everton's entire business model is based on this

 

With 77% of revenue going on wages, and the other 23% used to rent the Liver building from Moshiri

 

A £1 coin was thrown onto the Goodison pitch. Police were unsure if it was missile or a takeover bid.

 

an oldie but goodie lol.

wasn't that originally the Chelsea joke at some point?

 

Shouldn't that be Goldie?

 

no idea, at least mine was in readable English

 

Well the saying is "old but gold"

 

The use of journeyman is open to interpretation.
It's a traditional guild term meaning someone who has completed an apprenticeship, who is qualified as a skilled craftsman, but has not yet reached the status of master craftsman (an official honour bestowed by the guild).
The modern usage tends to be of someone who is competent but not outstanding. There's a distinct difference there in assumptions of prestige.
Semantics are a bugger.
Masterpiece is another similar term. It referred to the piece of work a journeyman submitted to the guild that gained its creator master craftsman status. As such, one would only have one "masterpiece" in a career. Nowadays it is used for any work considered to be outstanding.
When I worked in printing in the Middle Ages, those traditional terms were still actively in use and presumably are to this day.
Reminiscent of printing's origins, a workplace was called a chapel, and the shop steward the "Father of the Chapel".
Apologies if you already knew all of this. You can go back to football now I've done my bit of smartarsery.

 

Stay off #bbcsalford for a bit, they're celebrating the 20 year anniversary of 1999 so everything is about Man Utd

 

So bias and unprofessional. Neutral my arse!!!

Only us who cant talk about history

 

It was a bigger fluke than our 2001 FA Cup win. I remember the headline...News at 10 will begin when Man United score.

 

It was a bigger fluke than our 2001 FA Cup win. It was similar, get hammered for 80 odd minutes and land two sucker punches. I remember the headline...News at 10 will begin when Man United score.
