When someone uses the word 'motherfucker' do you think they are actually inferring fucking one's mother?

Can I take it then that you can't take criticism? How would Clayton feel then reading your comments?

Have an opinion yes but when it relates to the young lads from the academy then try to keep it in perspective.

P.S. Were you meaning your last comment literally? If yes, then sadly, I'll have to decline.

Do you take everything so literal?

The word you are actually looking for is 'implying'. But I think that you still have more important things to learn about life than that, Edge.

Inferring is fine.

No it's not, at least if you want to be correct.

# infer - deduce: conclude by reasoning; in logic

Seems fine to me.

When you use a word, you imply.
When you read/hear a word, you infer.

We got exactly the same problem here (only in smaller scale of course).

I'm sure it has lot to do with Finnish mentality of "working hard for the team" being a virtue here but truth is that hinders th progress of technically gifted talent and we end up producing decent defenders and goalkeepers and some defensive midfielders but few if any decent attacking players.

Dutch, who are masters at producing skillfull players, place little or no emphasis on competitive side of the game until the players are on their late teens. Until then they are encouraged to hone their individual skills even if overall team performance suffers. Furthermore, there young players are played all across the park in youth football whereas here, and I suspect in England as well, they give you a position early on and that's where you tend to stay until you grow up.

There is no deducing WHEN YOU FUCKING STATE IT.

Or maybe he might think "That cunt is a proper cunt" and put you on ignore.

Did you see the game?

Did you see how woeful his crossing was?

it was diabolical.

Yes, i saw the game and i thought this summary was nearer the mark than yours.

Clayton looks very handy, nice touches and good work in and around the left channel. Choochoo-Nimely had some very good runs into space, but he was being pushed wide more than not and needs to be stronger with his runs off the ball. Trippier continues a long line of right backs at city who can't cross and the standout for me was Ben Mee who looked to be the general of the defence and made only one mistake all game that wasn't punished. The late winner was some what spectacular and will be a kick in the teeth to the lads but on balance was probably the right result.

Bet you shouted at the telly watching the derby "Tevez you useless cunt. You couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo" when he hit the post just before half time.

I don't think it's a coincidence that in the days when most little kids used to learn their football kicking a ball in the steets, almost every team in our top division had at least one ball playing wizard, some of whom produced football close to genius at times. Since more & more coching has become involved, so there have been less & less inspirational ball players. I can't think of a genuine world class, English flair player since Gascoigne.

Very true.

In school yard 28 vs 28 games the best way to deall with it was to dribble and learn how to cover the ball. Backyard 3 vs 3 games thought you how to pass ball efectively. These days, at least here, they seem to train a lot with their teams early on but there's few if any kids playing good old fashioned back street football.

Problem is, there's so much to do these days. Video games, karate training, trampoline hopping, shopping, whatever. Back in the days when I was kid in early-80's all the kids were out playing football until the sun set and mum came calling for bed time.
