[Albion] Alexander Bah - right back

Hmmm. First time I’ve seen a flock of sheep called a herd!

The term "herd" is commonly used to refer to a group of sheep. Other collective nouns for sheep include "flock" and "drove," but "herd" is perfectly acceptable.

Indeed. Hence the word shepherd.

Never heard the term herd for sheep. And I lived on a farm for years. A herd is generally large animals like cattle that are spread out over a larger area. Flock is used for smaller livestock that stay close together, just like sheep!

That could equally be derived from herd as a verb - a sheep herder

I grew up bottle feeding lambs as my dad had a small flock as a hobby (still does).
While flock is 100% more common, herd is still correct

And what is herder aside from managing/gathering a herd? (of sheep in this case)

I could herd my children into the back of my car and that wouldn't make herd a collective noun for kids

And the original joke would still have worked in that case.

Actually, it works better if you think of it as herd as a verb.

Drove, flock, mob or band are the only terms I’ve heard. But hey ho.

The important thing is that we've given the Benfica fans a true taste of NSC

A more desirable title than being called a sheep flocker.

I know a shepherd who drinks in my regular pub.

I would mention this exchange to him, but if I'm being honest the last thing I want to do is encourage him to talk to at me.

The verb herd originates from the same German as the noun does.

As for Alexander, none of this shit will make any sense. Sheep in England say "bah", in Sweden they say "bää", in Denmark they apparently say "Mæææææh".

In Wales, they say "give it a rest Gareth, your wife's getting suspicious"

For Flock Sake

Genuinely hope that we can get this one over the line.

Have to say I’m impressed with the club’s recruitment over this window.

Funny that it's taken an upturn after subsequent heads of recruitment left, and weren't replaced - guess it highlights where the importance lies.
