Just as an aside...

When I post I'm usually rushing which is why my spelling and grammer is bad... but I think most of you get what I'm saying.... even if it sometimes is a load of tripe :D
I read this with no problem at all, unlike txtspk, but maybe the reason why I can read that but not txt is contained within that garbled post. Most txtspk seems to ignore or change the first or last letters, dat iz y I dnt no how 2 read da txt wrds. It also sounds very babyish, I was about 2 years old when I last used words like 'dat' and 'da', which seem to be common in a lot of internet messages these days.

The other problem with txtspk is that there is no standard. We got a standard list of abbreviations in the early days of t'internet, so you got your IMOs, ROFLMOAs, TBHs, IIRCs, IDTYHAFCWYATAs and the like (ok, so I made the last one up but it's a thought I have when I read some messages on here and on other sites!). But the only person who knows exactly what is being abbreviated with txtspk is the person typing the original message. That means everything is open to interpretation depending on what you think the abbreviations mean.

you're right, robjoenz. There were a lot of improvements yesterday over the performances in recent weeks. We need to sharpen up when we make breaks as we took the wrong option on a number of occasions. There's all this talk of the team not being good enough etc but let's face it, it's the team that will see the year out. We will just have to accept it and the best thing the supporters can do is get behind the players and not get on their backs. The effort was there for all to see yesterday and I'm feeling a lot more optimistic about the Saints cup game now than I was when I heard the draw.
See someone is at it again. Seems the only game some want to win is the Saints game. Saints match is weeks away. Can we stop mentioning the game until the week before.

The Giants game is more of a priority now.

Fraggle, IDTWNACHAFCWTATA :D

Anyway! looking forward to the Hudds match, going by this season yeah it will be close but hopefully we'll see some of the spark from last week turn into something and earn the two points we need.
Still, doesn't stop me getting excited about the Saints match, it's a big game for us why shouldn't we look forward to it!!!

You miss my point seems some on here would rather win that game and we lose all others. Than the other way round. We all should look forward to it but the Giants game is about the most important of the season. If we lose then we might see CA or IM in next week. I do not think theyll change this week.
