1, Irony,indicate mockery of something or someone.(YOU and HUTCHIE) The essential feature of irony is the indirect presentation of a contradiction between an action or expression and the context in which it occurs. In the figure of speech, emphasis is placed on the opposition between the literal and intended meaning of a statement; one thing is said and its opposite implied, as in the comment, “Beautiful weather, isn't it?” (IE:- YOU LEFT GATESHEAD, YET THE'RE STILL IN THE CUP)made when it is raining or nasty. Ironic literature exploits, in addition to the rhetorical figure, such devices as character development, situation, and plot to stress the paradoxical nature of reality or the contrast between an ideal and actual condition, set of circumstances, etc.,

Someone like Wigan could well be the darkhorses, I take it Huddersfield are the 2nd favourites then along with us?

In summary, HKR are made up of of a few overrated foreigners, a couple of Wigan rejects and a couple of blokes I have never heard of.
Saints by plenty, by miles even!
