MikeO Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 There we were on the back of an unbeaten 7 or 8 games ? and we are still only 2 points away from the relegation places. We are playing far too much catch-up this time, and middle of the table position is the best we can hope for. Four points off a European place and mid-table is the best we can hope for ? It's the most open and closest league for years, the "big" four/five/six are not so big anymore, all are beatable, anyone stringing a run together can fly up the table and recent history shows that's just what we do. Overly pessimistic in my view Bill . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 OK we lost against Arsenal which is no disgrace but our league position does open your eyes to how another bad start to a season has cost us dearly. There we were on the back of an unbeaten 7 or 8 games ? and we are still only 2 points away from the relegation places. We are playing far too much catch-up this time, and middle of the table position is the best we can hope for. I disagree we are only 2 wins away from a gauranteed European place and we still have 25 games to go! If we can somehow find the money to buy an average CF who can help us convert these draws into wins when the transfer window opens then it could still be a good season for us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overly pessimistic in my view Bill . Maybe so but i'm entitled to it, same as you. Duncan .. "I disagree we are only 2 wins away from a gauranteed European place and we still have 25 games to go"! Your entitled to disagree but i'll put a £20 pound note on the table that says we dont get a euro place this season so if either of you two wish to take it up let me know.

Bill Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I will have a go of that! If you are saying we will get a guaranteed Euro place. Your on for £20. I'm willing to send my money to Louis, will you do the same.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 If you are saying we will get a guaranteed Euro place. So if we finish 6th/7th (not guaranteed) but get a place due to cup winners qualifying elsewhere who wins? Need to clarify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Guaranteed was Duncans statement, if you wish me to clarify Mike i'll give you top six, anything lower is a win for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't gamble Bill . Just thought the rules needed to be specific for you and Dunc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 im in for that bet and i dont usually gamble. It will have to be electronic bank transfer, dont have a cheque book. Remember that last season we finished only 6 points off 5th and that was coming from 15th on Christmas Day. Such a long way to go. So long as the strikers start scoring, and it will happen, we should cruise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Send your money to Louis before the end of the month, the same applies to everybody that wants to have a bet. If nothings in before the 1st of december its all off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohen Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 So you're willing to back against everyone who wants to place that bet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 So you're willing to back against everyone who wants to place that bet? Bill is either going to be pensionless for a few weeks or a very rich man . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Bill is either going to be pensionless for a few weeks or a very rich man . Bookies are slightly with Bill at the moment. Odds for a top six finish... But a couple of wins and that could change very quickly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Which is why any bet should be known before the month is out, next couple of games might encourage a few others to have a go. (Sunderland and West Brom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohen Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I would Bill, love a gamble, but I can't really afford to not have £20 atm Hahah.. ...Poor student :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 No No No i wouldnt want to push anybody into a bet its just for a bit of fun. Its not such a bad situation for me .... i might have to pay out 60 - 80m - or a 100 Quid, but it means that the Blues have finished top 6 and will have made it into Europe. :jump for joy: But for you, not only do you pay out £20, you also see your team finish in mid table. I'll leave it to Louis to let me know if anybody has taken the gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 17, 2010 Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Has Davey been in touch with you Bill? Sounds like he's going to risk a twenty . http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6512204,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 no reason why we cant. Bill - sent Louis a PM to find out how to get him the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted November 18, 2010 Report Share Posted November 18, 2010 I'll have to think about this one, not sure how it could be done to be honest. It is probably better done through Betfair or somewhere.<br><br>I'd be inclined to agree with Bill.. I can't see Everton qualifying for Europe. It's a slippery slope from now on.. I'm not soft enough to gamble on it though! <br> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Its too late now, times up. Looks like nobody has taken me up on the bet, which gives some creedence to what i said. I gave you your chance but after Sunderland and West Brom, it now appears that some peeps are not as upbeat as they were a couple of weeks ago.
