“No you haven’t but I’m suggesting he isn’t,” the journalist clarified.

“You’re suggesting that? I’m not suggesting that,” McFarlane responded. It’s like a Two Ronnies Sketch.

Finally, the two were able to understand each other, and the caretaker claimed that Palmer has had “some really good games for us,” despite some “injuries he’s had to deal with.”

We all know the reality – Palmer has been average to terrible all year.  We know why McFarlane doesn’t want to admit that, but this kind of bizarre DoubleSpeak dance is just ridiculous. Would even Palmer himself claim he’s had some “really good games” this year?
