    Probably not. In fact it probably means that as we speak, the producer of Newsnight is busily crossing Jordan Peterson off their list of prospective guests because they know he'll make them look bad.

Her desperate floundering, recourse to repetition of platitudes and misattributing quotes to him suggested she had no idea what she was dealing with before she started.

    Jon Snow being a cünt is hardly news. He's a hard-left relic who is well overdue for retirement.
    But Newman is the type that DOES believe that anyone who questions leftist wisdom is alt-right. So, I can quite imagine that she did research him and came to that very conclusion.

    This of course is also hugely depressing.

    Yes. Still, that's what social media was invented for, I guess.

    You see parity or otherwise with Spurs as being definitive in terms of gauging success or otherwise?

    I do agree to a point with your second sentence, based on a very successful period from 98-2004 I do sometimes think there is a massive sense of over expectancy however that aside would you not be concerned about a continued paucity of performance, a seeming inability of the manager to prepare his teams and/or at times to get a decent performance from them.

    That is not a comment based on knee jerk reaction to Forest and Bournemouth but a seeming decline for years now where we see the same thing again and again. The fact that we will probably come 6th this season does not disguise any of this, it is more in fact a reflection on how poor the Premier League actually is.

    Yes, but she got torn a new think-hole. One would like to think that might make her question a few things.

    I think that my favourite bit was when she said to him 'What gives you the right to make these generalisations?' and he said 'I'm a clinical psychologist.'

    I very nearly spat my unsweetened black coffee over screen at that point.

    Very good. But surely the point here is that there isn't actually that much thinking going on, because if there was, we wouldn't be where we are. And, whatsmore, there never will be any thinking done either.
