LFC vs WBA; screw you Hodgson match thread

[SimonNo7]

I was setting you up to say, "I'm positive."

I'm too old to fall for something like that

[Imy]

Carroll is playing well now, growing in confidence.

[BringbackBiscan]

Lovely play by Suarez and Carroll there. Good partnership in the making.

[Zapater]

He hasn't been fantastic by any means but I do think this might just be the turning point in Carroll's LFC career.

[Neil Young]

Well he did say positive twice. Oh no a double positive, that's a negative isn't it?

And no, it isn't.

It's like that story someone like Stephen Fry tells about a professor lecturing his students about a difference between Russian and English. In English a double negative is a positive but in Russian it's a negative (with the double for emphasis).

"But there's no language where a double positive makes a negative."

A voice from the back of the lecture hall:

"Yeah, right."

[Imy]

Downing though

[spud_gun]

Second half has turned into a training exercise for us.

West Brom and their manager ought to be ashamed of the application they've showed in this second half.

[Kenneth]

And no, it isn't.

Do you think that really happened?

So he was being positive then

[Zapater]

Downing though

He's a horrible waste of space. Get Bellamy or Maxi on.

[topscorer]

A double positive is still positive, however a double negative is a positive

[SimonNo7]

ha ha ha at the baggie fan just shown on tv.

[Mattshark]

We should be 5 or 6 up in this game, WBA are awful and we are not making them pay enough.

[BobTheCharmer]

we're still very wasteful.

[Mattshark]

A double positive is still positive, however a double negative is a positive

Not in British English, a double negative is still acceptable as a negative.
