Cajun Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 I really don't think Smith will be anything more than back up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 If Smith and Nolan both start our first 3 games, I will put a very large amount of money on us going down. And i'm not talking about a few hundred. Could be quite funny in the end. Everybody will be celebrating that we've stayed up and you will have lost tons of money. The forum would collapse for hours.

Seriously, it would be quite silly to bet on the club you support to go down, wouldn't it? You probably would end up quite hoping for relegation.

Ronaldo Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Absolutely not. Did the same 2 years back and went down to Villa praying that we'd stay up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Thing is, we know more about our club and our players than the bookies. Whenever you have the edge, use it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest je85 Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Maybe so, personally I still couldn't bring myself to do that though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisMcQuillan Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I don't think betting against your team makes you any less of a fan. I bet on Whittingham to score first in the Cardiff home game this season. We were 4-0 in about twenty minutes, and Whittingham looked about as useful as a large tub of nutella on the pitch. I was still happy. I'd rather lose money and win than lose and win money. Winning a bit of money does soften the blow, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Ronaldo said he would "put a very large amount of money on us going down" and that's what I think I could never do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 so to anyone who's seen the games so far how's this lad shaping up in the friendlies, he showing any signs he might dislodge one of our midfield fatties? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Livescore says it was his brother. UEFA say it was Haris. I have more faith in UEFA getting it right Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Nice that he seems to be starring for each respective age grouping at an earlier age than you'd expect. Captained the U19s at just 16, scoring for the U21s at 18. He's ahead of the game all the way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle Fan Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wasn't he considerd for their first team for the World Cup? how come he's on the bench for the U-21 now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Wasn't he considerd for their first team for the World Cup? how come he's on the bench for the U-21 now? We had Mata, Javi Martínez, Capel and Bojan in our U21 lineup this week - all of them with senior caps already and some of them present at the 2010 WC. Even Busquets was rumored (and volunteered) to play for them since these are important games with European/Olympic qualification at stake. EDIT: Although I just checked and Slovenia have already lost any chance of qualification, so ignore me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 What I was looking for is an indication that both would consistently be starting. I will bet you or anyone £1000 that we'll drop if Smith and Nolan start more than a combined 55 league games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
