Agreed

I think it was this post


"Chuckle? you've made me fall about. Behave, you're not exactly snow white, and we're taking racial hatred here, or are you missing the point on purpose?"


I admit my jaw dropped when I read it as the comma, strictly speaking, means the clauses "you're not exactly snow white, and we're taking racial hatred here" are related.

Then I realised that's not what he meant, but instead of trying to make that clear as usual PD just upped the confrontational ante.


I guess what he meant was


"Chuckle? you've made me fall about. Behave, you're not exactly snow white, and we're taking racial hatred here [not club rivalry], or are you missing the point on purpose?"


But of course the point was that club rivalry was exactly what we were talking about, we had moved on from racism to players moving to rival clubs and club hatred.


Anyway, I'll take silence as an implicit apology to quids that what he wrote was easily inferred as an accusation of racism even if it wasn't (and i really don't think it was) implied.


Oh and imply vs infer

Apologise for what exactly? I've not accussed him of anything. He stated that I was rude, etc and then says I'm, a "K*nt". So my point is that he was not as pure as the driven snow, snow white as in he has been guilty of the things he accuses me of. Clearly you are reading something into my posts which aren't there.

That's because they are in a playing sense. The top sides tend to pick themselves, with England you get the feeling that Roy still doesn't know his best side, and could perm any 11 from about 18. At least there were two positives from last night, Sterling and Lallana...

Yet I've said many times that's isn't what I've accused him of, just his take on it. not sure what else I can add.

"Yet I've said many times that's isn't what I've accused him of, just his take on it. not sure what else I can add."


Indeed you did,. but you denied any culpability as if it had come out of thin air.


You have to remember, imply and infer are about interpretation. If the writing is ambiguous and everyone else sees a clear inference, then it doesn't matter the intention of the writer. I believe libel laws can hang on such things.


Sally Bercow used the 'i didn't mean that guv' defence and lost.

Fans have not lodged a complaint, the club want compensation for the injury from the FA, which is fair enough.

OK, rather overdoing it, especially suggesting picking a striker who isn't even match fit, and Downing has his haters, but Noble, there's truth in them thar hills

http://metro.co.uk/2014/03/06/why-roy-hodgson-must-start-picking-west-ham-stars-like-andy-carroll-stewart-downing-and-mark-noble-for-englands-world-cup-2014-squad-4444228/

Noble is dogged, determined, a good tackler and passer, good awareness and positioning, and can occasionally boot the ball well.

He's far from a star player and maybe not a game changer, but he's effective and personifies the spirit the national team utterly lacks right now.

Given the dearth of talent and the insipid displays so called great players have shown in recent years, give me a Noble in the squad any day.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
