    Let's see if you're a man of your convictions.

    I bet you a season long username and avatar bet that Newcastle don't finish 1st this season.

    Now let's see if you really believe what you're saying shall we.

    I was trying to show that the chances are the same (0%). Bookies will always give you odds on a zero % probability as they know they will make money.



    So you are actually both wrong.

    That’s betting though. Mathematically we still have a chance. A very slim chance. But still a chance.

    Go to a prediction website. Enter we win all games and Arsenal and Man City lose all ( I put they drew some) and Manchester United draw at least 2 game and hey presto we’re top

    It was basically a big "wah wah they won cos they can buy a £60m striker and we can't"

    An argument that's non-sensical and flawed, as the beat Man City away and thrashed Liverpool at home, who are both far bigger spenders, but apparently when they lose its because of the unfair billionaire owners that are killing football.

    Plus Toney is the third top scorer in the league and has far outscored Isak, but apparently we need to get reminded of Isak's price tag every time he scores....maybe when Haaland scores against them he'll raise the £1m weekly salary he gets.

    Hasselbank's point was maybe more valid, as QPR had been annihilated from every angle in that game and destroyed by a team easily with enough quality to the championship at the first attempt, whereas QPR where standard mid table fare. Trying to claim we had all the money was still incorrect though, as we'd made all the money we spent for selling Sissoko, Gini, Townsend etc

    Goes without saying that if we are only 17pts behind the leaders and there are 9 games left that we have enough games available to overhaul them. BUT what the supercomputers are saying is that statistically we have a 0% chance of winning the league, but an 86.54% chance of getting top 4. How they arrive at 0% I don't know.

    Which will continue for the remainder of the season whilst those above us falter. We then win the league <whistle>
