I am trying to see things from both sides with these two, as I have time for them both, and I think it can be all too easy to fall into the trap of seeing one or other as the villain no matter what. I have defended Ali in the past, but in this particular instance, I feel Khaled didn’t deserve how he was treated.
No, I agree - I think being accused of point scoring took Khaled aback as he didn't see his comment in that way. But at the same time, it was not really the moment to refer back to the previous week. It could be he got lost in semantics but, if he had said "That wasn't easy, was it?", it such a small change but, by not referring to himself Ali may not have seen it as a dig.
