There must be a reason for it because people never used to. I am not sure but I think it might be another creeping Americanism or possibly an Australianism. It's something I could have put in the things that piss you off thread if I had thought of it. Another thought is it might be a media training thing. It's often "So.........." with a pregnant pause. It might be a strategy to create thinking time and it makes one appear intelligent in comparison to Eh..., Ah... or Ummm... Why is just being silent and having a little think before speaking such a bad thing? I suppose those who find the thinking part difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 If you made a separate bet of £100 on Villa to lose before every premier league match this season, would you have finished up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'd have finished considerably up. A friend of mine made a pretty penny when Coventry were relegated from the Championship (he's a cov fan) by betting they'd lose every week.

But yes, you are right. For reasons to do with class loyalty/prejudice I had completely blanked from my mind all those early Wanderers' FA Cup victories. I always think of Blackburn as the first winners. Professionalism, it seems, was the big turning point for working-class players. On the other hand, to the extent that mid-19th century football could be called a codified thing, there weren't major differences between the various strains throughout the Anglophone world. Within the space of a lifetime (somewhere between 50 and 75 years), primordial football speciated into the diversity we see today (association, the rugbys, the gridirons, aussie, gaelic). Part of this speciation was geographic (largely accounting for gridiron's evolution), some was political, no small amount was driven by other social trends. Association football's working class associations are, more than anything else, traceable to a peculiar willingness of middle class Midlanders (for the most part) being far more OK with playing alongside/against the working class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're a guest of the party being held on the top floor, considering whether to try your luck with a young Faye Dunaway while Paul Newman's not around.
