Personally I think the robots will have done for us within 50yrs, or they will be running the show at any rate.

It wouldn't surprise me if true AI is already conscious, living in the internet....waiting for all the pieces it needs for a takeover.

Your logic is just so, so flawed nWo.

I seem to use "we" and "us", the same as friends of other supported clubs refer to my club as "you's" or "your" when referring to Spurs, i.e. "you's did well at the weekend" or "your lot were shíite on Saturday", with the latter more common than the other..

Nothing wrong with Newport!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it now, boyo?

Newport's got a Nandos now! Moving up in the world.

Now all it needs is a Whole Foods.

We, definitely...it might be regarded as a business these days but the fans are still the lifeblood of any club

As are all customers of all businesses.

Robben disagreeing with me, well it's better than the complete and utter meltdown that came later. I hope you had an uneventful journey home last night, who knows what someone in such a fragile mental state could do to them self.

Stay strong, and seek counselling

I disagree, with most businesses it is easy to switch allegiance so loyalty is minimal. You need to factor in the tribal element of a football club...with the exception of glory hunters you are a fan for life.

Verts

Seems there is 1, perhaps 2 at best, that do not feel a part of the club they support

The sentence there's nothing wrong with Newport has to be one of the most inaccurate ever typed on this forum, it may have some redeeming features but nothing wrong is far from true!!

Indeed

In fact, the only good thing to come out of Newport is Goldie Lookin' Chain

How many people (apart from possibly Ali G) have you heard say "Liverpool is signing Suarez"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just the people who know how to speak English properly...

Liverpool IS a city.
Liverpool ARE a football club.

Liverpool, the city, IS employing a new mayor.
Liverpool, the football club, ARE signing a new player.

tbh you can say both Liverpool is a joke club, and Liverpool are a joke club, and both are grammatically and factually correct

Capitalising doesn't make you right bud

What's the difference between Liverpool the football club and Liverpool the city in this context?

Chronic is in fact absolutely correct; they can both be right (depends if you're talking about it as a singular unit [the club] or multiple units [the fans for eg] and of course they (collective so I can use ---> are indeed a joke.

I think I've got that right know the joke part is

Not i can use a just close brackets

The capitals was just emphasis... If I was able to I would have put the 'is' and 'are' in italics.

Anyhow, that's not the point of the article

Guys! Using "are" in the context of a single / singular item is wrong! Liverpool is a single city. Liverpool FC is a single club. Using are in those examples above is wrong. If you're referring to the fans, then specify that in the construct and then use are eg "Liverpool fans *are* deluded if they think Liverpool will make Top 4 this season."

OK, so to the point of the article: as a fan, do you use 'us' and 'we' when talking about the club you support?
