"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......

    • Apologies on the tardy reply, but thank you everyone for your responses and suggestions! Unfortunately I couldn't attend the recent EDF drinks because of work (I know right). But will absolutely keep eyes peeled for the next one and try and come down! 
    • Because of the weather which delayed completion with roofer only being able to work certain days, it was up from November - end of January. Went slightly higher than gutters (we also had guttering replaced).
    • It's tough being a courier and the pay which is largely based on the number they deliver is miserable. Hence the staff turnover is high. EFRI was previously branded as HERMES but they had to create a new brand name because of poor performance. We get regular courier deliveries and EVRI are by far the worst. They just drop the parcel at the front door - often without ringing the bell. But worst is when they deliver to the equivalent door number on LL instead of ours on EDG. Best are ParcelForce, DHL and DPD by a wide margin.
    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
