Turkish Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 The fact that we go into the last match with a chance of finishing tenth shows that it was not a very clever put down. It does make you look stupid - very stupid if we do end up tenth. Next season try something better. So if we don't finish tenth, which we won't, then I won't look stupid will I.

Turkish Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 Gotta hand it to you, your air of superior indifference is wholly justified YET AGAIN. It must be incredible being you. It is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonManager Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 gripped! Tell me more pls ...the 11.47 ex Wigan Springs Top Yard pick-up freight was also in trouble. The normally reliable 'Black 5' was starting to slip on the steep gradient up to Middleton Top. The driver was leant out the side peering through the snow in to the freezing night to see if the distant was on or off. The fireman had problems of his own. Water was in the bottom nut, she wasn't making steam due to a heavily clinkered grate and the needle was falling back. If she went over the top now she'd expose her crownsheet and likely drop a plug... The consequences were unthinkable. Bert had a family to feed and needed fireman's rates, he couldn't afford to fill out another 'please explain' and find himself back in the shunting links with the cleaners and cripples. He put the injector on, mortgaging the boiler, rolled a fag and tried to avoid the driver's glaring gaze....... Meanwhile..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The9 Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 Who here was worried before we were effectively safe that Wigan could just beat Arsenal now think they will get thrashed? My expectations from Wigan have only changed based on the performance of Wigan or their opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamesaint Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 So if we don't finish tenth, which we won't, then I won't look stupid will I. Of course you will. To have used this as your sarcastic put down for several months only for it to have been pretty close to happening, does make you look stupid.

SaintBobby Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 We aren't going to finish tenth though are we, so i was right and all those that said my prediction made me look stupid are the ones now trying to redeem themselves. It's unlikely, but not totally impossible. It needs 4 results to go our way (although we want the clear favourites to win 3 of them). If you put an accumulator bet on it (Saints, Arsenal, Man City and Reading all to win), it comes out at about a 25/1 shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 Of course you will. To have used this as your sarcastic put down for several months only for it to have been pretty close to happening, does make you look stupid. But if It doesn't happen then I'd be right, so how would being right make me look stupid? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintBobby Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 But if It doesn't happen then I'd be right, so how would being right make me look stupid? Tbh, I can't remember exactly what you said or how definite you were that we weren't going to finish 10th. If someone yesterday lunchtime had said "There's absolutely no way Man City will win the FA Cup. Not a chance. Not a prayer. Absolute snowball in hell odds", then I think that person would look pretty stupid even though Wigan edged it 1-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamesaint Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 But if It doesn't happen then I'd be right, so how would being right make me look stupid? Quite simple. You used it in arguments as if it was a no brainer. ... and it has proved not to be a no brainer after all. By the way you are making yourself look pretty stupid on this "mongboard" now.

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 12 May, 2013 Share Posted 12 May, 2013 Safe now. Could finish 17th or 10th - lots of cash riding on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way you are making yourself look pretty stupid on this "mongboard" now. I'm still not quite sure how me being right makes me look stupid. If people say something is going to happen, I say it won't, I get mocked for my stance, yet it turns out I was right and the mockers were wrong, surely by any logic its they that look foolish?

In your eyes if someone says something is going to happen and it does they are stupid. Yet all the ones that claim something else will happen and mock the person who turns out to be right, then they are the ones who look clever. It makes perfect sense and is entirely logical.

By the way you are making yourself look pretty stupid on this "mongboard" now. Nice to see my prediction on another thread this evening already coming true... We'll beat Stoke next week and come in twelfth, which will be taken by the m-boarders as "proof" of us finishing tenth. Sorry Turks, you are in for probably an entire summer of pretty simple people goading you (and, of course me) on the back of something we said wouldn't happen, not happening. With the people saying it might have happened annointing themselves as being right and the people saying that it wouldn't happen being told by the same simple chaps as being wrong. You couldn't make it up on this board. But hey, we could still finish tenth chaps. Then you could really fill your boots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
