Who are Accrington Stanley?

[the count]

We have got them in the FA Cup third round at home.
And for those who are too young to remember the thread title is a reference to an advertisement for I can't remember from a long tie ago

 

[dogboy]

Christ I'm old. Wasn't it for milk?

 

[Modo]

There's another thread...

Certainly was

 

[Hansern]

We're so good now that we even get City's place in the draw.

I too may be old, but as soon as I saw the draw, the first thing that came to my mind was "Accrington Stanley....who are they?" 😀

Bring back players getting in a big massive bah after the game and drinking pints bottles of milk.

In fact I want them to switch the lucozade water bottles that sometimes come on the pitch with bottles of milk.

I'd be happier with old lucozade, glass bottle with crinkly plastic wrapping. The stuff you'd get when you were off school with a fever.

Nothing compared to the experience they’ll experience now that Darwin is facing a team he’ll finally be able to score against!!!

 

[StevieM]

This is a great draw - perfect for sensible heavy rotation without risking the result and a cracking story as well.

This is where we should see Jaros, Quansah, Morton, Nyoni, Danns etc get a run out alongside some of the lesser first team fillers like Tsimikas, Endo, Cheesie (if alive) and Darwin.

 

[tombrown]

You're all saying it wrong. Is not "Who are they?" it's "who are dey?" and it's not "exactly" it's "exaccchhhtlly"

 

[Judge Jules]

Now it can be revealed - I've been quoting unnoticed from that advert for years on here by typing "Zackly" instead of "exactly". 🙂

 

[Modo]

Achrington...hahaha another victim of the Scouse "K" or "C".

Nice to get a home draw against a lower league team - great time to get Danns, Nyoni and some other yoof on the pitch.

Unleash the Rio

Unleash the Rio

And possibly the Rico for the final 10 mins if his legs can manage it

Quite a few other accents have contributed to the Scouse one. The bit you rightly identify is an import from the Irish accent and that's been a st(h)rong connection over the years. One of my friends at school was Irish and said being a Scouser qualified me for honorary Irish status.

I think that shoudl be s(h)trong as it is the s that is potentially softened, not the t

Yes it shoudl be.

 

[tombrown]

Haha

 

[Judge Jules]

With respect, I don't agree with either of you. Adding an "h" to the "s" turns that into a "sh" sound which doesn't belong there - you'd end up sounding like Schteve McClaren. I maintain the "h" belongs with the "t".

Liam Coyle (the guy in the middle), Gerrards captain for the u18s is one of the players who will return to Anfield.

Nomad wasn't agreeing with me, he was pointing out my customary typo

I was thinking of the "sh" sound as that is a fairly Irish thing - one of the guys in a yoga class I go to always says he is looking for a good "shtretch".

I find it hard to even try & pronounce an "sth" sound :S
