You've only gone through half a box of Kleenex and have, for the 27th time that evening, wiped down your laminated John Sheridan poster. You say to Latics22 (yourself) "do you think these drugs are better than last nights" To this Latics22 (yourself) replies "100% better" Doesn't mean you had double the amount the previous evening or they were doubly as good. It's a well used saying. "Alexa, add Kleenex to my shopping list" We’ve started in boxing now, shucky22 is going even more crazy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As mentioned, if the budget is simply bigger then this season, the phrase '100%' is not needed. Some people say 100% to make what they have said clear. I agree there is no real reason to say it, but they do. eg. Yes the budget will be bigger than last season, 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to shuck, what I think he is getting at is, one of the Trust attendees could have simply said at that point, "Just for clarification AL/DS, when you say 100% better - do you mean literally a doubling of our budget or is the 100% just a figure of speech?" End of any ambiguity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Just for clarification, do people believe the budget has been doubled or are you just trying to be clever about the wording? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True Tic Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I wonder if he's going to start spending some this bigger budget? I don't know, maybe a player or two... Just a thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 So the Early Bird ST prices have been extended again. Either Abdallah loves the fans so much, he's giving everyone a better chance or he's desperate for the dosh. I wonder which it is? Hmmm.

But maybe that's his dream to have one fan left " THE FAN" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
