P.S. I apologise for the spelling mistakes, i'm typing on the phone and i have big fingers and a tiny phone
Let's sort one thing out straight away, my flippant remark about you not knowing the word contradiction was solely due to the fact that you're using it completely incorrectly. It was perhaps as childish as your 'LOL' but it has absolutely 0 to do with your command of the English language. I'm sorry to disappoint you but you don't hold a high level of importance in my life so the fact that you are Serbian was not at the fore front of my mind and thus my flippant comment had absolutely nothing to do with where you're from or your proficiency in English, and entirely to do with you reiterating the same stuff and same word without any logical base for doing so. I'd take that chip off your shoulder as even had I thought you weren't first language English I would not have used it as a stick to beat you with seeing as how I'm multilingual myself. The only fact of the matter is (as other people have now told you) it categorically isn't a contradiction.
You are correct I didn't explicitly state that I am referring to this season only but at the risk of sounding insulting, if you didn't understand that from the context of the discussion that is entirely on you. We did compete for the title last season so why would I say that we didn't. We didn't compete for the title this season and we can't know that they ever will again JUST because they did it once. Under Rafa we competed for the title once, the bulk of those players never did again.
So the absolute FACT is that it was not a contradiction, we did deserve to be 2nd last year because we were there, that does not mean those players are capable of doing it again. You really are splitting hairs utterly ridiculously in claiming I didn't state anywhere I was talking about this season, several other people who have commented on it didn't require such pedantic stating and I wouldn't do it just for your seeming benefit. I instead I assume you're smart enough not to need it.
The proof in the pudding comment is entirely correct. We have had one long term injury to our main striker which had been hugely detrimental, but other teams have many times had similar yet still competed for a title. The fact that we haven't means that what we did have available wasn't of the required caliber this year. There's no escaping that. That does add up to a contradiction in me stating that last year we did compete for a title. This where your use of the term is quite obviously incorrect. Absolutely no contradiction was made as others have also told you now.
As for "P.S. Try replying without the condascending tone or suggestions i don't have a grasp of the english language. Perhaps then we could avoid these little uneccessary spats", what someone else has said about you a few posts up suggests it's you who are often guilty of this, and I'd read through your own posts before you start having a go at others for condescending tones.
If we were to revisit what you suggested was a contradiction is the simple statement of fact that just because those players did it last season doesn't mean they are necessarily capable of doing so again in another season. There are countless examples of that actually happening, but that shouldn't be needed anyway as that by simple logic is a factual statement without any contradiction at all.
