going down

it doesn't matter what you bolded. he asked a question.

 

Jesus Christ, this must be one of the worst ones ever...

 

he asked which three teams might be worse than us based on a specified fact. you were the one that assumed it had only just occurred to him and that there'd be nobody reading who might need reminding of this fact.

 

i know the reason she is in the news is wrong

but i really did laugh out loud upon seeing this.. even the tiniest facial features are similar.. that is steve bruce and i'll take £5

 

He said 'we only need 3 teams to be worse than us'. That was the point I replied to, not his question which followed his point made.

Using your logic someone can post 'That Katie Hopkins is a wonderful example of a human being. Who does she work for now?' and if someone challenges the first point you can say "I was asking a question".

Which is clearly massively stupid.

 

so how would you have worded the question if you'd asked it?

your katie hopkins example is not relevant. the two parts of the example have no connection. the two parts of his question were related, since he asked which teams might be worse than us.

 

Which 3 teams might finish below us this season?

I'm replying to the first part of the your post there by the way. I woudlve bolded it but, you know...

 

so basically you would never add a proviso or qualification to a question to clarify it for context or for people who might not know as much about the topic as you do.

 

Is that a question? Just there was no question mark.

I'd love to know who on this board doesn't realise that 3 teams get relegated from the Premier League next season. My guess would only be Ehab or Assem, if they're reading.

 

it's a fairly simple grammatical construction. i could indeed have added a question mark, but it's syntactically correct as a statement.

you might be surprised at what people on football boards don't know. i'm not sure now whether you're criticising the o.p. for his assumptions about what others might know or, as you originally claimed, for his recent discovery that we need three teams to finish below us.

 

That's why I asked if it was a question or not.

 

**** me this I'd pointless and boring

 

well, there wasn't a question mark at the end, so it was a statement. i realise not everyone adheres to this standard, but you'd be surprised at what people on football boards do and don't know.

anyway, i'm off for some food now.

 

Couldn't agree more.

 

if you start getting picky over how people word their posts, these things can happen.

 

I thought you were off.

 

I've just eaten a big ****off roast pork bap with stuffing and gravy.

That is not a question.

It one arf nice.

 

The carvery on Newland ave's done one. Gutted, so **** off with your ****ty sandwich

 

'One arf nice'? Is that what you'd say? I'd be 'want arf nice' all the way.

You weirdo.

 

A bap?
