Welcome Roberto Di Matteo and Steve Clarke

[Dante Lavelli]

I'm guilty of 'can I get' and if there's anything I want in life it is to be accepted by H&V, so what should I say?

"Can I have...?"
"Can you get me...?"

I won't be able to sleep tonight until I know the correct way to ask for a drink!

[kipeye]

My only misgiving about the new managerial team is that we can look forward to x number of years of people calling him 'Clark.'

There are worse crimes. But not many.

No doubt whilst simultaneously continuing to refer to 'Ciaran Clarke.'

And saying "can I get"

I think this has been said before.  I still don't see why it is wrong or indeed what the correct version would be.

May I have. You are asking for something to be served to you. Can I get insinuates that you are planning to get it yourself.

You perhaps can but might not...

[N'ZMAV]

either of those are good.

Almost as puzzling as words that mean the opposite of themselves like "quite" and "cleave" is the problem I wrestle with on an almost daily basis.  To whit.  If somebody opens an automatic door for you do you say "thank you"?

Heard on the radio earlier that the Championship will be one of only three leagues in Europe to have two Champions League winning Managers playing their trade in it next season, with the Premier League and La Liga being the other two.  They then went and spoilt it by saying they didn't think we would be anywhere near promotion next season.     

We are going to piss on a lot of bonfires next season. I am really looking forward to it.

'May I have' is correct and convinces people that you are either a member of the royal family or Penelope Keith

My mate (London City type) says when ordering "I'll take the....." Drives me demented!

I really hope so .On Talksport earlier they were saying what potentially a good partnerships DiMatteo and Clarke could be but the problem is that they are managing Aston Villa ? They went onto say Newcastle were nailed on to win the league

Just stick with what you know, it's perfectly acceptable English and everyone will know what you mean, you use it and don't see it as wrong because of that, so why change because a bunch of miserable arses on the internet don't like it?  I don't particularly like it as a phrase (and I can be a right miserable arse) but you shouldn't feel ashamed or wrong for using a common expression in a commonly used way.  That's ju st how English works and it's why it's the primary language on the planet.

[Bad English]

I will get points to an action.

This bit is, well, gibberish Peter.

'I will get' points to an action. Just laziness on my part.

Agreed. I look forward to being smug when we methophrocially tea bag this league.
