I think it is time to get some perspective and give Jeremy Peace some well-earned credit. He has, after all, at one stroke re-written part of the OXford English Dictionary.
He told us, in his mea culpa statement that the new head coach would be better than Steve Clarke.
At a stroke, better is no longer "the comparative of good" or "more excellent than other members of a particular group" it is now the comparative of total rubbish.
Well done JP, it takes genius to completely change the meaning of a word.
