Jim Hardie Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I beg to differ: In American English, a journeyman or journeywoman is an athlete who is technically competent but unable to excel.[1] The term is used elsewhere (such as in British and Australian contexts) to refer to a professional sportsman who plays for a large number of different clubs during his career.[2] Show me a dictionary that says that.

charmingman Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I think you'll find they do just as much winding up as we do and I have praised the job Wilder has done and said they'll do ok in the coming season on other threads winding up is what having a dual forum is all about. One would think that the benefit of a dual forum this season would be that Owls fans can use recently gained extensive knowledge of the Championship and pass it on to the Blades? I'm not sure posters on here realise just how petty some of their contributions actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's probably why they get banned so often:rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMan Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Show me a dictionary that says that. Wikipedia isn't a dictionary. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Journeyman Look at definition 2 : A professional athlete whose been around one's sport for a long time, but has been on many teams for a short period of time. In Boxing, a journeyman has fought many times, but has had few opportunities to win a title. Or is Urbandictionary not good enough either? Shall we just keep moving the goalposts until your definition is agreed on by all parties . Out of interest which dictionary did your definition come from?

Wikipedia and Urbandictionary are open to all and sundry to write whatever they like so no, not good enough I used the Cambridge University Press dictionary. If a word is used wrongly often enough and for long enough then that meaning becomes part of the mainstream language so keep up the good work.

chalga Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Well done with the game changing, you've managed to convince yourself - nobody else though. Name a player that the Owls have paid double for? I'm not talking about any particular player,I'm talking about the amount of cash spent and where it's got you,the same place as we are now,that's where. As for us,why would we overpay to get where we want to be?,which is where we are now,only idiots pay more than they have to do, to get to where they want to be.

Bit misguided that to be fair , look at the Premier League and the obscene money spent , idiots ? or just competing in a crazy market . Still If United can compete on a small budget good luck to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
