With elan and flair, with never putting the Irons down for a defeat, with always opting for the ludicrous odds of the coupon buster, with - to be honest - no love of settling for safety and mid table mediocrity and, finally, with no whining, carping or questioning the rules.


AND with such confidence in providence that my prediction for the CL final is the opposite of whichever team you pick to win. If you want Bayern I'll go for Dortmund and vice versa so there'll be a winner without having to analyse the feck out if it B)


Over to you, Dic.

Dic here Max. I didn't think you would start the mind games so soon. Still, if you want to change 'the rules' as you haven't got it in you to make a prediction it's up to you ;-)

Whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine...


Mind games?! Me!???


Don't be a silly boy, I did make a prediction. I predicted that your prediction would be wrong!


But to save your blood pressure and knowing that otherwise you may suspect chicanery I will make whatever kind of prediction you think is 'correct', a 'by-the-book' prediction and pm it to Rd(if that's the way you think it should be done), okay? (I expect you to plump for Bayern anyway - personally I think Dortmund will win it - they have a brighter kit - but don't let that sway you).

The fact is Max I 'won' my place in the final in part due to a flaw in the rules. I didn't post it on here due to the fact RD appeared to give the impression I was a serial whiner which you have picked up on. I did however let my opponent know. So I now relinquish my place in the final to Otta. This will give you more time to reassess my posts on the loopholes in rules I may have pointed out.


I look forward to you quoting one which could be classified as a whine :)


PS Thanks RD for organising the prediction games this season. I do think it merits its own thread if you continue next season.

Jeez calm down Dic/Doc, I was (I thought) poking fun at you. You started the (what until now I thought was) banter with the 'I trust maxxi won't be getting a 5 point start' stuff and I assumed it was all in robust good humour - no need to throw your toys out of the pram. Now that I know better I take it all back. You have never whined (well, except maybe your last post - that is really a bit whiney tbh). Now lighten up.

You touched a raw nerve. Ever since me and my kid brother got a deluxe version of subbuteo for Christmas and he moaned to everyone that I had to spend 3 hours reading the rules before playing with him, I've been scarred.

Introducing aggregate scores to decide the SF after the 1st legs were played. Gave me a 2 goal advantage over Otta I believe. Of course it wasn't decisive but using a bit of logic helped maximise the advantage. If we had predicted different outcomes to the games it wouldn't have mattered of course.


I'm leaving the country now..........

Maybe working in accounts you're used to finding loopholes and exploiting them...all's fair in love and war.

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
