2017/18 Ross Barkley

[PITA]

Many people have said it

I know.

Not just that, but he's actually getting referred to as "Dele" in conversation and things like official club tweets and Premier League articles. No, he's English and his name is Bamidele Alli. You wouldn't go round calling John Stones "John" like it's his surname would you. Imagine the Sky Sports vidiprinter or BBC live text reading "Man City 1 Burnley 0 (John, 23)"

Sounds like a passage from the bible mate!

The name alli is his father's surname and he doesn't want to be associated with that name apparently.

 

[a bell maul]

It's a small street noted for its variety of delicatessan shops, so I guess it was inevitable it'd be nick-named Deli Alley.

Ross is gone, face reality. Once he has recovered from his "injury" he will sign for a "top club" to start a "new challenge" and get away from the "gangsters" who "told him to get out of Liverpool".

A clever use of inverted commas there

Aren't they quotation marks? As opposed to ' which would be an inverted comma... This would suggest all the words in the original post were spoken dialogue - hmmmmm......

Exaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaactly. Intelligent B2B midfielder, who hopefully once settled and the teams more cohesive, will bag a few too.

Sorry that won't wash. He hasn't scored a hat-trick in every game so far. Terrible waste of money. Lucky that we are loaded.

I know mate. It grates on me massively. Imagine Barkley turning up with "Ross" on his back, how weird would that be.

The name on the shirt is 'in effect' no more than a 'user name'.
Doubt that numbers would be allowed though, so you would have to have something different to mikeh72 lol

Correct. I was about to post the same. We really must get people to get things 'right' on here with regard to grammar. (Were the heck are those sarcasm italics? Oh.....here they are......

Fixed that for you

As already stated he doesn't want to be associated with his father.

Gawd...the intelligentia are out in force tonight. Well done. Improving on the purpose is some trick.
