[Albion] Where art thou signings?

[Greg Bobkin]

My mate was stuck in the Brighton seafront traffic earlier and spotted Kanchielskis outside The Grand with TB, if that helps?

My mate works as a shoeshiner at Gatwick Airport and says he saw Jonathan Calamari in the arrivals hall....

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I was waiting for a response like that from you. You really are a knob.

You can’t think of a more intelligent response than that ? What a day to be you.

 

[BN9 BHA]

We're had English and Science today:

I have been working in a school for the last 2 days, maybe one you went to.

A bit of a damp squid after the more high profile players we've been linked to.

 

[The Fits]

Man City and Notts Forest apparently.

I went to Meeching and Tideway (as they were called at the time, I know they've both changed name in the meantime).
Finished at Tideway just before they finished rebuilding it after the fire, so I don't think there's much there I'd recognise now.

Agreed. Sign him and we get battered.

 

[Bakero]

Agreed. Sign him and we get battered.

He'd run rings round the weaker teams though.

It was Tideway now Seahaven, I was told the sports hall and changing rooms are original.
My wife went to Meeching and Tideway.

Tomorrow the singings will be 1 day closer.

 

[southstandandy]

Plenty of time left in the window. I'm sure things are being worked on.

 

[Gabbafella]

I need cheering up with 2 more signings. Are we or are we not? Bring on the chronic abuse lol

This might cheer you up. Made me giggle at least.

All the best people did

A damp squid you say?

I have found that they are normally damp.

Unlike my crispy whizzing squibs.

(what's the betting tomorrow's wordle is one or the other?)

Actually, it would be ‘Where art ye signings?’.

Some etymologists argue that ye is often an old spelling of 'the' and the y is equivalent to th. Whilst sometimes it refers to plural and it's pronunciation may have been closer to ge. Of course the English language is is Mish mash of many different languages and regional dialects and standardisation was a slow and haphazard process. It was popularised in the Victorian era to make things sound old and then is pronounced ye.
And yes I am calm we'll make the right signings but impatiently checking the internet every couple of hours.

Actually the "y" in "ye" was because printers would use "y" in place of the letter thorn þ because they often wouldn't have a block for thorn, since most sets just covered the Latin alphabet. So the used y as they considered it to be closest.

Thorn was eventually replaced in English with the digraph "th" so þe, was printed as "ye" and eventually replaced by "the"

WE ARE DOOMED!!!

A return to the stone age beckons

 

[Farehamseagull]

Agreed. Sign him and we get battered.

I’m sure Fabrizio Romano has got his tentacles all over this story.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Now there’s a picture I DON’T want to see
