i can't believe a thread about positives got into 5 pages

Who pulls the strings at the Reebok?

I just can't put it down to luck in any way shape or form, personally.

 

But if - as I pointed out - you have, broadly speaking, a 30% chance of qualifying for UEFA from 7th as it requires two 5th or higher teams in the FA Cup final and a League Cup final winner from the top 5, then how can it not be luck? I don't mean luck as in somehow we cheated or didn't merit it - but "luck" in a mathematical sense. Do you really stand by the phrase "I just can't put it down to luck in any way shape or form"? That is just wrong - it is demonstrably, mathematically wrong. God help you if you're a betting man....

Fuuck me! Let's start a thread 'Lets look at the negatives'! That will be a 30 pager!

i'll start, negatives in order...

 

1. BWFC Supporters

We got the required points. They didn't.

 

 

OK, I'll tell thee what. If at the end of this coming season the 7th placed PL team qualifies for UEFA by the same route as us (ie through both FA Cup finalists coming from top 5 teams as well as the League Cup winners) then I'll donate ?100 to the WW charity end of season do. As long as you agree to do likewise if they don't qualify.

Haha god help me indeed. Luckily I figured out betting wasn't my strong suit a while back...

 

I've already got that Trotter58 idiot on my case, I don't want to spilt hairs with you. I understand your point completely. The probability of finishing 7th and getting in is lower than that of missing out. Perfectly understood.

 

All I can say is the original debate was not about the probabilities of getting in via 7th. The statement was 'we only qualified by sheer luck and the f?ckups of teams around us'.

 

I don't want to go off on tangents about the mathematical probabilities, I feel that you get what you deserve, and we did. And that's wishy washy bollocks but I'm sticking to it

I just said I wasn't a betting man

 

You bast?rd...

 

Suppose I won't have any Euro trips to fund next year will I?

so is that a yes then?

I'll throw this one in.

 

If Blackburn had got in the FA Cup final, we'd have qualified for the Intertoto anyway.

 

So in a way we were unlucky as our Euro trips could have started a month ago.

so is that a yes then?

 

Aye

 

I don't know how I got myself into this though

Aye

 

I don't know how I got myself into this though

 

Good man

hmmm...I'll start saving just in case

Another positive...Even if we go down Blackpool away will be class

Yet another positive.

 

At least we don't have Steve McLaren as our manager.

You're not STILL going on about that are you, you sad c?nt? Get a f?cking life.

That's 3 days ago you dribbling, silly little idiot.

 

I hope your stay round here is a short one cos you are the most boring c?nt to post on here in a long, long time.

I think you claimed that title some time ago. How about another 10 page thread on how luck doesn't play a part in football? Better still why not relate it to your job just for added drama? Yawn.

i must admit, it was the 'yawn' at the end that won the argument.

so anyway................

 

 

 

 

Whats everyone had for tea? I had steak

Yes but how many of them are good enough/fit enough? Alonso looked poor all game, and Braten oh dear!!!

What are you talking about Samhater? Braaten is one of the big positives. He is strong and fast and has a good touch. He might not be the new John McGinlay but he will be right up there as a fan's favourite.

You're not STILL going on about that are you, you sad c?nt? Get a f?cking life.

 

 

Do you think its some sort of coincidence that most people think you talk utter shite!!!

 

Anyway back to positives, I'm pretty keen to see what Willy can do. For the first time in a long time the club have a genuine pacey winger capable of creating chances for the forwards. I doubt Willy will start but hopefully he can feature at some point and get a chance to show the fans what he can do.

That's 3 days ago you dribbling, silly little idiot.

First laugh of the day for me ::::::::::

S'pose LSL could be forgiven for saying "I told you so"

 

Good luck to him

one swallow............

one swallow............

 

Bang on Cassie. Getting too carried away with that one result would be as stupid as calling for Lees head after only 3 games. Patience is a virtue
