Stick to the topic please. I want proof of this 'top 12' phrase in the premier league league table as I've never heard of it used. If you can find a quote or a source then I'll accept it. I've only ever known a top half and bottom half of the table. In the case of the premier league, the top ten and bottom half.


:lol: where do you think phrases come from? Do you think they are born and released into the world by God who carves them in stone? :D

Phrases are created by people to accurately describe a situation. Many people have used top 12 in this thread and other threads before today hence the quote in the OP. so now, you have heard of it :thumbright:

Top 12 :thumbup:

Yep, this website is online and its here :thumbup:

Many other examples of "top" being used to describe a position or number not in the "top 50%" of overall number too :thumbright:

No that's fine. I'll offer my apologies, never heard that phrase before. I'll happily accept it when I learn something new. You should take a leaf out of my book. Nearly 3 hours mind roathy, you must have hunted high and low for that. :lol: still quite a new one judging by how long it's taken to find it.

Re: Calling Kenfig Blue

Tue May 13, 2014 6:09 pm

Don't see that it matters much whether you finished top half, bottom half or mid table. As far as I'm concerned, you finished 12th and we finished bottom. That's all that really counts. :(

It took seconds. Google "top 12 finish" and its on the first page.

The thrill of the chase is far more satisfying :lol:

So top 12 finish then, glad you agree. :thumbup:

I'll accept the term yes. Still prefer mine though :thumbright:

Nope i wasnt arguing, I was just telling you that you were wrong and being an idiot to boot.

The fact you wouldnt listen to sense prolonged the exchange not me deciding not to recite a piece from the Yorkshire Times :lol:

I'm not wrong though am I. Both are perfectly accurate in describing swanseas position.

There we are then. Have a nice day Roathy. Enjoy your moral victory :bluescarf:

I'm not on about that'. I accept I was wrong in that part as I was uneducated about the phrase. I was on about Swansea finishing in the bottom
Half of the table which is also correct. Anyway, well done, congratulations and have a nice day routhy.

I warned you to stop digging!

Made yourself look a proper spatula.

Like I said earlier, just enjoy being 20/96 for now. We don't need Jack sympathisers rubbing it in. For the record, Roathie was right all along, whether he produced proof or not and you should have realised that when Bluebirds agreed with him!!

AND TO ILLUSTRATE MY POINT, I HAVE STATED SEVERAL TIMES THAT WE ARE 20th OUT OF 96, BUT THERE ARE 92 CLUBS IN THE LEAGUE. LOOK AT THE BIGGER PICTURE!

If you finished 13th or 14th you would be saying top 13 or 14 finish.
