I was surprised to see Ashley Preece using this over-familiar abbreviation and it quickly spreads to the forum! Apologies of course, if you and Tyrone Mings are indeed close friends.

AntrimBlack Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I refer to all players, manager, CEO, owners, etc., by their surname. It is possibly an age thing, but I was brought up to only use a person's first name if you know them personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AntrimBlack Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I suppose `nicknames' are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 28, 2022 It depends, some players names lend themselves to using their first names on occasion. Grealish was frequently referred to as “Jack”. Abraham was frequently referred to as “Tammy”. Ditto Tuanzebe as “Axel”. Watkins is often called “Ollie”. A simple search on this site backs that up if you feel that’s inaccurate. Funny how this thread is used as a battle ground for debates and discussion on such matters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, that wasn't a holiday, he was contracted to MC a gig at Maddison Square Gardens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 So what's happening in the Mr Ming's thread?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Just to say he has been an immense part of our resurgence to our rightful place in English football. He has been a great signing and I forgive him when he sometimes drops in a few mistakes. Top lad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Villa 59 Posted January 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 29, 2022 Ming's should stay at Villa Park until he retires. He's a great player and a great man both both on and off the pitch. Players like Tyrone are very difficult to find imo 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
