Should be a good open game then!!

Well, after the game they will be presented with the League leaders trophy (barring an upset of really monumental proportions) and Leeds have laid on some cheap transport, so I think your friend could well be right. Despite believing that Leeds will easily win, I'm looking forward to one last effort from Salford this season. Let them Loiners work for their silverware.

I wouldn't expect anything else,we've hardly been given it have we???

Which indeed is why it would have been funny had you done it the other way round!

But then it would have misquoting Sky and given the impression of poor journalism rather than a quirk of the English langage. The humour bypass has worked in your case.

Perhaps we should agree to differ - but you might like to look up the definition of a pun in a good dictionary
