    Just finishing a book on making sense of statistics where they call it counter-knowledge. I would like to add a new phase "Fredor-speak".

    With the pedigree that both Durham and Sunderland have almost certainly BOTH

    A long long time ago a man penned the words

    "When debate is lost slander becomes the tool of the looser"

    Is it just possible he could see into the future with such an accurate description of the Newcastle forum ?

    Tell you what then, why don't you heed the words of Socrates mate who probably replied:

    "Give us the debate and we will stop the slander. And don't call me a looser you philosophical Greek twat. You are worse than that old twat Fredor".

    But if you look at what you have posted on here there was a nice debate going on about who will be relegated but you have posted something completely irrelevant to the thread. Its as though you are not interested in contributing to the debate but trying to score petty points or wum. So if you want to continue here start debating. Who do you think will be relegated and why? And try not to mention 1895.

    Although I did not ask you to confirm my post I suppose it would be churlish of me not to thank you for doing so

    I think it shows how threads can be disrupted by someone posting irrelevant **** (as you did) - note the three comments following yours. I got involved as well and in hindsight maybe shouldn't. In future I will just ignore you and try and get the thread back on track or use my 'delete' button instead.

    In a court of law your views may have some merit but on a football forum such a strict protocol would be overkill , and any views that did not coincide with your own would still appear elsewhere

    That man needs to either;

    A) Learn to spell

    B) Go into more detail about how being loose correlates to slander!

    Big one this weekend v Ston. They have beem crap lately. IF we can win this one, it will drag them into it a bit more. Plus boosting our chances of escaping the hangman once again.

    Leicester look shot.

    Palace are ****e.

    Hull and Swansea, fook knows.

    Boro will survive.

    Palace, are the only certs to dtop for me. Any of the rest could follow.

    Well I wouldn't say that's true, they could have snatched it at the end, but to say they were unlucky to come away without 3 points, given Jakupovic put the shift of his life in, I'd say you probably didn't see the game or you're a scou.... oh.

    ROFL, managed to get in just in time with that 5/1 bet on Sunderland staying up. Now they are 2/1 stay up.

    You should only laugh if your bet comes in as if you lose it doesn't matter what the odds were.

    See that's not strictly true. If you have a bet at 2-1 your expectations should be higher that you are going to win, whereas at 5-1 they are significantly lower so you should be very happy when you win and less sad when you lose (as your chances of winning are lower). So he should be able to have a little snigger happy in the fact that at least he didn't lose a 2-1 bet.
