Happy Face Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Let's go then. Will you give me 4/1? on what stake? Just a tenner. Mentioned it on the last page. so you're gonna give me a tenner and if we finish above swansea i give you 50 back then, that's the bet? Just PM each other once it's done and get paypal/bank details then. Non payment gets a thread of derision for being a welcher. You're pretty much guaranteed to win though, tbf. Even the odds that you want suggest that you think it's highly unlikely. I never said it was particularly likely. I said it's not beyond the realms of possibility. I like a punt. Took arsenal for the title at 16s. Don't think it's likely but it was a bloody good price back in June. There should be a load of takers biting my hand off considering the scoffing at such an outrageous suggestion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I'd probably take that on at 2/1, but I'd be going against my first rule of betting. Never ever bet on Newcastle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 aye i'm not agreeing to it like, just wanted to know what he was on about if nothing else it's not worth my time for a tenner, i also think for it to be a real bet you'd have to make it NUFC to be 5+ points ahead of swansea as they're the ones in europe this year and as happy face's man has consistently stated europe fucked us over....that being said we should not only better them but do so by more more points due to the draining effect of europe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrettNUFC Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 to finish 8th you'd have to assume that one of everton, liverpool or swansea f*** up enough to let us in don't see us being close to those 3 personally Still not convinced Swansea are this special side everyone thinks, Everton have been patchy so far as well, think us and Everton could be the ones though. You've watched Swansea right? It's not a new thing, been a great side to watch for a while. Also Everton are the only unbeaten side this season. Obviously, being a great side to watch doesn't put points on the board though. Last season was an unacceptable, abhorrent mess as far as Newcastle fans were concerned and an historic peak for Swansea but we only finished 5 points off them. Last time I'm gonna do it. They WON A CUP so did wigan, what's your point ? They are pleasing on the eye too... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 I said before the season that I think we'll finish 8th like, knocked that down to 9-10th now after seeing Everton and Swansea but I think we'll be about there purely because of the dross filling the rest of the league. I think it'll be a torturous and frustrating ride regardless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Never ever bet on Newcastle. Nah, seemed all too plausible so stuck a bet on Newcastle to win first half, Hull to win full time at 70 to 1. Pessimism! The only reliable winner.

You were saying you never thought we'd get close to Swansea. I don't think it's a ridiculous notion that we might. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it'll be a torturous and frustrating ride regardless. I'm happy with that progress. We finished 8 points from 8th last year and were absolutely shite. Anything over 50 points and you're pretty much odds on as you're really only the best of a bad bunch. It's only progress if we maintain it and/or improve upon it though. And Pardew showed last year that he's hardly reliably in that respect, especially without investment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
