There isn't a single system or set of personnel in any area of the team that is proven to be able to function competently for even two consecutive games.

 

There isn't any bizarre team selection going on. Just a bloke trying to reshuffle the deckchairs on the Titanic and only just realising that every single chair has something fundamentally wrong with it.

It's quite a common phrase like. Although he has blatantly taken it from here.

 

Doubt it, seeing as the usual phrase is "rearranging the deckchairs…" and the one on here was the metaphorically-confused "shuffling the deckchairs…".

"reshuffle: an act of reorganizing or rearranging something."

 

I'm not having anyone suggest I'm in any way confused about something Lee Ryder isn't. :lol:  'Reshuffle' is fine.

"The proof of the pudding is in the eating" is the original expression I think (or something like that). That's the bastardised version.

I know the origin. :lol: I don't think it's wrong per se - the shortened version is superior for today's modern world where we don't have 20 years for grandpa to finish a sentence.

Who in the world said that one way of shorthanding an idiom/proverb/metaphor would apply globally? Answer: no one.

 

Absolutely no one is confused by the meaning of the shorthanded version. The original applied to 14th century puddings where questionable meat standards were as likely to kill you as nourish you. By any first world standard the actual literal meaning is horribly outdated anyway. Language and usage evolves, chillax.
