Stop blaming Americans. We bastardise our own language and for the better. It's an organic and constantly evolving thing.

Well my tongue was in my cheek there.

But surely it isn’t about the evolution of language to give a word a new meaning that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of its actual meaning, just because people (of all nationalities) use it WRONGLY.

That way anarchy lies.

I hope Bad English doesn't venture into this thread. He'll have an aneurysm.

We use it all the while, which is kinda cool.

My own piss-boiler is the unnecessary American use of: ' off of' as in e.g. "Get off of my fucking laptop!"  instead of: "Get off my fucking laptop!" 
Sorry, that should be: "Get orf my fucking laptop!"

Palace are set up to counter-attack, even at home. 4-3-3 is not the best way to approach this unless you are Chelsea or Citeh.

Alan Hansen voice: "2 banks of 4, no way through".

I am in in 4-2-3-1 camp in these situations.  Then again, I am getting on in years.

I'm an extremely youthful 41 and I agree.
I’m a not so youthful 57 and it got me sold

I’ve not seen it, (the grealish incident) so have nothing to offer, other than shit happens. Let’s move on to the next match. Maybe we should’ve got a point, maybe not. Let’s not start pissing our pants over it, no much how hard we protest will change things with the dodgy FA.

Yep. Every time this team has been wronged in the past they’ve responded with a winning streak (Grealish punch = 10 game run, Leeds fiasco = playoff win).

If that lost point galvanises the team and reinforces a siege mentality then it’s worth more than a point.

I realised last week that you can legitimately say ‘Can I get a latte?’ in Weatherspoons because you actually do have to get it yourself.

There's so much wrong with that.
