Just seen the final pen on the Beeb website. Dear God. Imagine if one of our lads had done that. Who is the donkey?

The shape of his skull would certainly suggest that it constitutes a significant proportion of his matter, yes.

Although I've just found his 'lookalike' who manages the neat trick of looking even more stupid.

Reminds me of when the Spurs fan dressed as Osama bin Laden invaded the pitch during a North London Derby. He jumped back into the crowd and got a massive shoeing.

The equation of polyglotism with intelligence is a fallacy peculiar to the Anglophone world.

It was always strange to me that there was an assumption that DB10 (PBUH) was intelligent because he spoke good English, when quite clearly the good Lord saw fit to site the dear man's IQ in his feet rather than his head.

:nod: There are large parts of Europe where you pretty much can't get a white collar job unless you speak English to a reasonable standard. It doesn't make everyone who speaks English clever.

I know. I didn't think you were actually suggesting that Eric Dier was a genius. However, the point that us Anglos tend vastly to overrate the intelligence of people simply on the basis that they happen to speak another language stands.

I don't disagree but am only uncomfortable acknowledging it because of the time Ferguson took the piss out of Wenger (pointing out that one of his 16-year-old graduates also speaks 6 languages) for this very reason :-(

More keen to explore why having a PhD is clearly no indicator of anything other than being book-smart.
