    <laugh> Wow you predicted we'd finish lower than last season. So what anywhere from 2nd to 20th and you'd be claiming to have called it. Nowhere did you mention relegation at the time as you'd have been in fear of being wrong so hedged your bets with the wording

    You only posted that after you'd already predicted the spiral, right before they won the league.

    You also went back and edited that comment to hedge your bets

    Pussy :)

    Exactly. It's a coward's thread. HIAG would be claiming a 'spiral' even if you missed out on winning the league by a point.

    Also, he went back and edited that comment that he's highlighted. Proper yellow bellied pussy prediction.

    I was annoyed with Klopp for disrespecting the cup, my thoughts were clear on here.

    But I know you know that, as you stalk me, daily.

    I didn't even know he edited it <laugh>
    How embarrassing and awkward. Clearly very desperate. At least Sky has stood by his relegation prediction for ages and if we did stay up, would say no more on it. This need for approval by HAIG is embarrassing

    Yep, the big 'Last Edited' at the bottom gives him away, again.

    HIAG has history here. Did you witness the beginning of Edit-gate on the Maureen watch thread ?

    That's right John. I've stuck my neck out since early season saying you'd be relegated, and I'm sticking with it.

    If it doesn't happen I'll hold my hands up and say I'm wrong. If it does, I expect the same decency from you Foxes <ok>

    No, I generally stick to Leicester based subjects. What happened there?
    I have seen it now yeah, I hadn't looked too close at the original post as it smelt of bullshit

    Fair enough, a bold prediction and very specific too. Obviously hope you're wrong but at least you'd have earned your gloat

    I hope I'm wrong too, I wouldn't want the embarrassment effecting the worlds view on the PL tbh.

    Good luck in the relegation battle (is it official you're in the relegation battle now? or are some of you still avoiding the obvious?) :grin:

    I started the thread right back at the beginning of last season, when Maureen was still at Chelsea, right before his monumental meltdown that season which ultimately cost him his job.

    HIAG thought he was being clever and tried to claim that I'd only started the thread because Chelsea had lost. I didn't and they hadn't, they drew and I started it because I knew Mourinho would provide a lot of funny hissy fits etc regardless of Chelsea's results.

    I played HIAG for a bit, questioning how it could be that I'd started a thread based on Chelsea losing (knowing he'd ****ed it up), and predictably he started giving it the big un'. Finally the penny dropped that he'd ****ed up and he went back over the first two pages editing his comments to try and cover it up <laugh>

    TBH mate Id say more than in the battle. With teams around us making signings and picking up in form, I'd go as far as to say we're 80/90% down already :/
    I call it as I see it

    Edit; having read on I now realise he edited his comment <laugh>

    I love the way he was giving it the big un' about how much I'd embarrassed myself and how dense I was <laugh> Not realising he was digging his own grave.

    This comment in particular is ****ing funny given how badly he'd ****ed up :

    <rofl>

    Precisely.

    He thought our form would tail off, that we'd finish somewhere i the top 8 and then finish the next season somewhere between 8th to 14th.

    He got it so blatantly wrong and his refusal to hold his hands up is making it even more funny. Never seen anybody welch so much and so often in my life. You know you're sad bastard when you feel the need to lie on a football forum <laugh>

    Exactly, he clearly never thought we'd win the league last season or be doing at badly this. He words it all to leave it open ended and claim a win but we can see through it

  20. The post I quoted (which was the second post on this thread, was made and edited the same day, namely 17 January 2016. I didn't/couldn't know that Leicester would actually win the title. But, with respect, that is beside the point. In my post, I make it quite clear that the spiral refers to this season, and I made that prediction during the middle of last season.

    The Seggies can try as much as they like to cast aspersions on my superb foresight and courage in calling the LCFC spiral so early. Absolutely no one else did. Indeed, I was pilloried by many for speaking of a future spiral when LCFC seemed to be sweeping all before them.

    Wriggle as much as you like, Seggies, but there is no getting away from the fact that I called it exactly how it has occurred.

    I said that last season's rise would be met with a catastrophic fall this season; and I made that call during the middle of last season.

    Game. Set. Owned.
