That said looking at his best stats at PSG you'd think average by today's standards 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I still don't get the "clearing in the woods" thing either. I walked by Tommy Elphick along Trinity Road last season and I'd put him at around 6' to 6'1". The joke on VT came about because some saw his height as a restriction against playing CB and it then became a joke that some were claiming a six footer as a virtual dwarf. As for 'clearing in the woods', perhaps a 'parting in Hollywood' would suit our post eighties Razzle, Fiesta and Escort VTers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote The word’s origins are obscure, but Eric Partridge’s A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English, edited by Paul Beale, suggests that “tw*t” may be related to “twachylle,” a word from the 1400s meaning a passage or lane. “Twachylle,” according to the OED, comes from an even older word for a fork in a road. Other sources suggest a link to the Old Norse word thveit, a forest clearing. Grammarphobia 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRO Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Isn't Tommy about the same size as Lisandro Martinez? anyway, back to Nico. Think he will be a real asset, with his power and pace...gives us another dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
