AnotherShitSeason Posted 20 June 2013 Author Posted 20 June 2013 Why not just put it in another thread, or the betting thread then? I'm not having a go, or anything here, but you've got to be ready (and rightly so) for people to disagree when you put it in the main forum. It kind of does look like you're implying we will be relegated, it's exactly what I thought why I first logged on and saw the thread title. There's a betting thread? I looked through the other forums on here once but it was too banal having to wade though moronic discussions on gaming headsets or hottest celebs or people looking for advice on whether to tuck their shirts into their jeans or not.
leicester4life Posted 20 June 2013 Posted 20 June 2013 I always put £5 on at the start of the season, just in case the worst does happen, least I can get pissed.

ADK Posted 20 June 2013 Posted 20 June 2013 40-1 is ok i suppose if you think there will be some kind of meltdown. I wonder what odds on Wolves were last season going down? There's often a team that gets relegated that people don't expect.

MooseBreath Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 I don't think we'll be anywhere near relegation but going on the form of the last 20-odd games of last season it's not unreasonable to ask the question. It's worth a fiver imo.
indierich06 Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Relegation odds are about as much use as promotion odds, they're a bunch of made up numbers by people who have just as little idea as us about what's going to happen during the season.
Babylon Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 I love people jumping to conclusions, hes merely asking if anyones taking it hasnt stated that he believes we will go down No you are right, I'm sure the guy with the username of "another shit season", who regularly lambasts Pearson, who just started a thread about the odds for relegation in a season we just finished 6th, has absolutely no negative agenda there.

Ric Flair Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 I'll be having £25-50 on that and then lay us off. I can see us starting very badly this season and then Pearson will be removed and we'll improve. I'd bet everything I own on us not being in the top 6 this season for sure.

I'd bet everything I own on us not being in the top 6 this season for sure. Seriously?! Well I'm sure you'll get good odds, go and remortgage your house and get the bet on quickly if you're so certain.
MooseBreath Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Well form over the last 6 games would have us finish no where near the foot of the table. And form over the season would have us finish 6th. The point is that last season proved we are capable of going on extended runs of seriously poor form. Something like one win in 15 wasn't it? If we start next season with one win in fifteen then we're in big trouble. The fine margins in the championship work both ways. Assuming we're "too good" to go down is complacency at its finest.
Swiss_tony Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Well form over the last 6 games would have us finish no where near the foot of the table. after slating another poster for being negaitive you then cherry pick games to say we are pretty good. you have a positive agenda, which is just as pointless as a negative one. you are the yang to his yin.

Perhaps you should read the person I was quoting, nothing to so with the OP.
Swiss_tony Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Perhaps you should read the person I was quoting, nothing to so with the OP. you quoted mooosebreath who said the bet is worth having. you slated the OP for having a negative agenda. and your point is???
Babylon Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 you quoted mooosebreath who said the bet is worth having. you slated the OP for having a negative agenda. and your point is??? How are the two related? There are two completely different points being made. You should ask yourself what your point is? Point 1: the OP is negative. Piont 2: Moose said the form over 20 games was bad, I pointed out our form improved over the last 6. Not related.

The Horse's Mouth Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 I might put a cheeky 1 quid bet on, although my monies is probably going to bet on Newcastle getting relegated.
Babylon Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 who said they were related? You said I slated a poster and then brought up a point I made to someone else. So you did. What do the two have to do with each other? If you aren't trying to relate them why the hell are you bringing them both up. I didn't slate Moose for his point about the last 20 games, I didn't "cherry pick" games any more than he did.
Corky Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 If we do go down, Beckford will be lethal. Silver lining and all that.
gerrytaggart Posted 21 June 2013 Posted 21 June 2013 Anyone having a flutter? i bet your bollock on it.

My point is that you do positively what people like another shite season do negatively. but apparently they're bad but you are ok, even though your methodolgy is the same. you pick and choose to be overly positive. that's why you cherry picked the last 6 games. if you want to do that fine. but don't claim you're right and everyone who is negative is wrong.

Do I really, so I have posted a thread about the odds for us winning the league, have a name like "we're ****ing ace", and go around every thread saying how wonderful we are do I. Stop talking out of your arris. I picked the last 6 games because they showed the flaw in the other posters logic. I did not say that form would have us top, would have us promoted, would make us brilliant, just that it wouldn't have us relegated. If looking at the last 6 games (and the whole season) and thinking you know what, we might have a bit too much to be relegated is "overly positive" I would seriously not like to be in your company. Find a single post where I have said we're great, Pearson is great, we're going up, everything is hunky dory. You can even get Matt and Col to help you look.... I'll save you the time, because I haven't and never have. What perhaps you need to do, is recognise the difference between someone being overly positive, and someone defending ridiculous negativity.
