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.

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
