Prediction League Relegation Watch

no, you won't answer the question because you know which ever meaning you try and choose will always be wrong and you look even more a twat than you do already.

 

... could you just clarify which definition of 'already' applies?

 

I don't need to, the tense and the application indicate the meaning, much like the sentence "the spanners are in trouble already, just as I predicted" has no alternative meaning to the one that has proven hilariously incorrect

 

After beating Arsenal (well done) you lost at home to a couple of relegation candidates (or so we thought). At the time losing at home to Leicester was the very definition of trouble. Between Oct 24 after beating Chelsea (well done again) you proceeded to go to 28 Dec before you won another game. Sounds like trouble to me. You even gave Villa one of their rare points. I don't know when HIAG made his post, but without Payet you looked very ordinary and, dare I say it, in a little trouble. Since then you have been top class, totally turned it around and having an excellent season. We were also in seeming trouble early on losing to Utd (unluckily) and then drawing lots of games and Kane couldn't buy a goal, but we've also turned it around to have a great season so far. If you offer opinions on Sport you are bound to get some wrong. You could be cowardly and not offer opinions of course.

 

... whereas now ... it's just the expected norm

 

I didn't use the phrase "at the time" for nothing.

 

Fair dos ... although some of us might have had issues with 'relegation candidates' too ... indeed I precicted us (pre-season thread) to take the 'surprise' team 'award' and finish in 7th ... made-up that they've proven me to be wildly wrong

 

By the way, I wonder who you are thinking of when you say it would be "cowardly" not to offer any opinions?

 

Herodotus?

 

What's the Father of History got to do with this?

 

... I thought it unlikely tbf ... he was very opinionated ... Wikipedia working I see!

 

Oh, come on, mate! I studied Classics! If I didn't know who Herodotus was you'd think I was stupid!

 

Payet is West Ham's Mahrez!

 

What, you mean he's ****ing off in the summer, too?

 

Payet is now likely to move on than Mahrez imo

 

Where do you think that they'll go, though?

 

I don't think Mahrez will move. Leicester don't need the money ate will give him CL football next season.

Payet is almost 29 so I guess it depends who would take a punt.

 

I have nothing against Newcastle but it's hard to root for any team that has Benitez as its manager. He's such a monumental ****.

 

I have to say up until the appointment I would have prefered Newcastle to Sunderland. It's amazing how the arrival of one sanctimonious prick at a club can change all that. Fine margins as they say

 

Jose to United is really go to piss you off, then, lads.
