"sorry D_C, another pedants myth.

disinterested can also mean uninterested as well as neutral"


Not so sure it's a myth - rather that usage encompasses both meanings. Uninterested is more precise because it doesn't have the alternative meaning.


Re England football, we have some decent young players but the closing of the skills gap between us and other countries just makes our tactical ineptitude more glaring.

So what do you think about our new(ish) manager?


Good? Bad? Indifferent?


End of last season I wanted him gone because he didn't have the team on-side. Now I think he has.


Only asking because the upper classes aren't playing this week so am able to get a word in :)

You were being a bit hasty in your judgement of Holloway AQm, he needed the summer and pre seasonn to get the team 'onside', ship out the players he didn't rate and bring in new faces. If he can get a much smaller club like Blackpool into the PL, who knows...

Maybe people didn't bother to reply because of the not so subtle passive aggressive nature of this. So if Millwall got themselves promoted, would that mean they were suddenly upper class? Or just that they're not shit anymore?

A passive aggressive post with a smiley face? What are you on about? I was making a light hearted comment implying that I don't have many opportunities to get a word in because this thread is supposed to be about the premier league.

Both!

I like to think I'm quite interested in the other divisions. In the case of Millwall, I always liked Holloway and wondered why he bailed out at Palace. Some of his interesting quotes......

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
