mrmojorisin75 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? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crumpy Gunt Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 An extremely sobering thought that Di Canio and Bruce have tactically tore Pardew a new arsehole in very recent history. I think players lost us both those games - not tactics. The easy option is blame the players. The fact is both did their homework and Pardew didn't have enough to change things.

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.

Hanshithispantz Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Newcastle are 4/1 to finish top 8, not sure where this 4/1 if Newcastle finish above Swansea is coming from like. Happy Face is rather predictably using it as a way to enforce his point though "If you really think that then you'd put money on it, wouldn't you?" Proper oldschool tactics.

Benwell Lad Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 An extremely sobering thought that Di Canio and Bruce have tactically tore Pardew a new arsehole in very recent history. Equally it could be said that Pardew has done both Hiddink and Ferguson in recent times. Impressive but hardly indicative. A popular call but ultimately a bullshit one.

BrettNUFC Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 4/1 is a cracking price, i'd snap that up with anyone. People are overrating Swansea because they are pleasing on the eye. The standard of players aren’t much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras 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 ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took arsenal for the title at 16s. Don't think it's likely but it was a bloody good price back in June.

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...

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...
