Someare used with little knowledge of their origins and ... a little like misheard lyrics in music ... are misused. Examples are 'A damp squib' - 'a damp, or wet, squid'. 'To be specific' - 'to be pacific. 'A scape goat' - 'an escape goat'. There are many, many of these. Some people use the wrong ones in complete ignorance. Some use them ironically. So, when I referred to Southgate's great squad reveal as being 'a wet squid' that was deliberately using the incorrect term ironically & I'd bet the bulk of people saw it as such. Being corrected is a sort of post-ironic faux pas. You corrected me on it.

November 11, 20223 yr Maguire one is mad to me. It's one thing being out of form and picking him due to his past performances for England but the fucker hasnt been playing and is basically last choice for United.

That is what I expect to see from the manager of our national team - every effort to bring success for the long suffering fans. Whilst he is a Black Lives Matter, LBGTQ alphabetti spaghetti (or whatever the fuck it is these days), equality and diversity eco warrior, he can go fuck himself for my money along with the virtue signalling fat controllers at FA HQ. For the first time ever in my life, I do not want England to do well at a major footballing tournament. Out at the group stage would not upset me (won't happen). This does not sit well with me but I will console myself with other wins for England in the lasses RU, the mens RL and the T20 World Cups. Justice for the majority (who pay for everything).

Any other viewpoint IMO, despite all the noise about Qatar/Southgate, doesn’t make sense for any proud Englishman. Edited November 12, 20223 yr by desperado
