Also if there is one thing I hate about this place it's the amount of grammatical/spelling corrections that get highlighted for point scoring against so called controversial/annoying posters in particular.  Some people are good at English, some people are not.  Some people need to relax.

And as if to emphasise the point, I made my own grammatical error.

Ha, I like that you felt you needed to edit that.

It's perfectly okay to start a sentence with also in both formal and informal writing, as long as that sentence continues the same train of thought as the previous sentence.

Just in case anyone was wondering.

Ian Wright didn't know Douglas second name and had to be prompted, arrogant twat

60 year old man momentarily forgets a players surname and he's an arrogant twat?

Have a look in the mirror.

The grammatical error in his post suggests to me he’s not sure how to express his name correctly in this context.

go on then Grammar Police teach us how it's done

Douglas’s or Douglas’ …either could have been used. It wouldn’t normally bother me but as you pilloried Ian Wright for momentarily forgetting his name I thought it a good reason to make the point.

He wouldn't have forgotten an Arsenal players surname, it was a subtle (or not so) put down of little old Aston Villa and their collection of spirited but unheard of players . Wanker. (ian Wright, not you). close brackets.

It doesn't really happen a lot though, does it?

I like Ian Wright. He champions the women's game, he just seems like a decent, down-to-earth person too. Not sure if you've ever seen the video of him with his first teacher, who he'd not seen for a long time, but it was really touching.

[kippaxvilla2]

It happens too often.  I suspect you’ve chosen to comment because if there was a special tribunal for this sort of thing you would be in the dock.  It’s not a big deal I just don’t happen to think it’s necessary.

Yes that was brilliant.  He’s just an ordinary guy underneath.

It's very hard to resist upsetting Kippax right now, even if them doesn't know the rule on proper nouns, but I'll rise above it...

Making things up now. I rarely do this sort of thing as I'd be spending all day on it

Seems a top guy to me and yes that video is special.

I'm sure he wouldn't as he is after all an Arsenal supporter.  Wright is usually very complimentary of our club and now the way we play the game. After years of being dismissed as nothing more than cannon fodder for the bigger clubs we are starting to get recognition.  A few more seasons like this and he along with the rest will know our team's Christian names, second names, confirmation names, nick names and inside leg measurements. For the record, the only full name of an Arsenal player I can recall is Declan Rice.  Nkethia I believe is a very good player for them but I haven't a scooby what his first name is.

I'm sure he's also miffed that Luiz turned down Arsenal in Jan. That pissed off the Arsenal fan base.

I routinely forget my own kids' names, so I'll let Ian Wright off for a solitary senior moment.
