Andrews's captain

[Jon_S]

Has to be Collins - ROI captain, been with us 2 seasons and guaranteed starter.

This thread had become so derailed that for a second here I thought Collins would refer to the dictionary!

Maybe the GPG needs a house style?

I’ll give you for free that the apostrophe in this thread’s title uses a typewriters’ mark ( ' ), whereas it should be a typographic apostrophe ( ’ ) because the headline is presented in a formal, proportional typeface.

Not many will care, of course, except pedants like me; just as few will care that many of the thread titles here use American-style Title Case, which—to a British typographer (i.e. me)—is anathema. I note that you, @rebus, are one of the few whose thread titles are consistently well formed, typographically; I won’t name the worst serial offenders but they are amongst the mods.

Flattery will get you everywhere!

Same here with regards the use of "KA". Ajer as captain? Not sure about that.

I thought Wissa stepped up last season in terms of geeing up his teammates, getting over to the ref and just generally being quite a vocal leader. I don't really like seeing the front man as captain though, feels wrong

You don’t want a captain who only challenges for half of the balls lobbed up top or loses it when dropping deep to collect before hanging onto it for too long. Not captain type attributes.

“Brentford’s Captain”*. ?

I think if Rico is fit and ready to go his hat must be in the ring for captaincy but Collins is a great shout anyway

Rico’s never struck me as particularly vocal.

I think it will be Janelt when he's back...

We do things differently for sure ?

He can do it from the bench

Hmm not sure when fit he'll be on the bench ? normally a starter.

Fair enough but I think he will only start if we are missing one or two.

Last half hour for VJ I reckon.

Fair enough but I think he will only play if we are missing one or two.

I think Yarmo is a lot more promising.

He will get his minutes but we require better to evolve again.

I have several editions of Hart’s Rules on my shelf, along with several style books, guides for copy editors, and guides to punctuation, and a shelf full of books on typography and typesetting. I would be happy to provide advice for a modest fee.

Is that Joe Hart?

Never count out Vitaly, an old fashioned footballer who manages to find levels of performance that are way above his natural abilities. He also has knack of being in right place at right time and a total team player.

Maybe we’ve not signed them yet? Could be a new high calibre DM comes in to replace Norgaard who takes the armband straight away like Pontus did.

Rodri?

Or particularly articulate, bless ‘im.

I’ve been following the apostrophe debate with interest. At risk of sending @Banana’s blood pressure rising again. Club house style is…
