"Smoke and mirrors" is an idiom for a deceptive, fraudulent or insubstantial explanation or description. And still the man is so insubstantial that he can't post without the insults. I am sure that the definition is correct, I haven't checked, however, there is a big difference between being fraudulent, deceptive or insubstantial. Parish being fraudulent would imply that he is trying to make personal gain out of being dishonest. He is not. Deceptive would imply that he is being dishonest. Which he is not. Insubstantial would mean that he is not being dishonest, but is keeping some information private. Which is exactly what he is doing. The operative word in the definition is "or" which means that the term applies to any one of the three definitions. This, it is quite feasible for Parish to be partaking in "smoke and mirrors" without being deceitful.

When? I think, but sometimes I'm not sure, that people have lives outside the HOL.

Its not my job to give you hope Den. If you want to believe the spin and can't see that Zaha wouldn't have signed a new Contract without some indication of our ambition next year, then you are beyond any help that I could give you. the exit clause in his contract would cover that if we were relegated, hopefully not but first we need a manager and then prepare!

How do you know ANY of this? Have you had business dealings with SP? SP could possibly be unscrupulous there's absolutely ZERO way you can make any of those assertions unless you've had business dealing with SP in the past. I think you might need to look a bit further back in the thread to see the context. I was explaining why I could say that SP was using smoke and mirrors without accusing him of being deceitful. I know this because I was referring to The English language. That said, you should take care not to accuse people of being fraudulent and deceitful on social media.

Edited by Dan89 (18 Jun 2017 7.31pm) I remember Moxey giving away the pen against Spurs in the first match that ended 1-0 but alas I am struggling after that. My son reckons we played Sunderland next and remembers Stuart OKeefe scoring, which I also recall but think that wasn't the first goal we scored
