    This is the "throw enough **** at the wall and some of it will stick" principle

    If you make enough predictions you can cover all your bases and then when one eventually comes true, you can simply ignore the rest (as you rightly pointed out)- classic Chaos ....

    Unfortunately I made an expectations thread pre season to avoid this allegation.

    But you constantly make new predictions after every game and invalidate previous predictions.

    Your latest a few days ago was that our target for the season was now 40 points.

    No that's not what I said and you frequently twist my words. What I actually said was get to 40 points and then reevaluate which is very different.

    Regardless you are wrong about top 4 though so why the focus on me...you need to accept ownership of your own error.

    I wasn't wrong I have a thread on expectations and I made it to avoid all the mental gymnastics come May.

    No, it's just the thought of you complaining about others twisting your words. It makes me smile.

    I don't twist anyone's words that's why I made the expectations thread.

    You're in wum mode today I see.

    My "tears shortly after" consisted of calling you a ****ing idiot.

    And once again you're "prediction" consists of laying down the law with an iron fist deciding that we WILL lose the next 3 league games, and we'll have lost 9/10.

    For the record, by February it is impossible for any permutation of results to mean we've lost 9 out of 10 - if we are just going by league games then the most we can lose is 7 out of 10 as we beat Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool. You also think we'll beat Sunderland, so even with that in mind and taking the last 10 in all competitions, we'll have lost 7 out of 10 even if we lose the 3 league games, as we'll have beaten Fulham and Sunderland and drawn with Chelsea.

    Wasn't adamant Munse, you asked me for a prediction at the start of the season so I gave you one, which you latched on to.

    I'm not going to change my prediction every game, as that defeats the point of a prediction at the start of the season.

    It was this point last year you were claiming Isak was a total waste of £60m.

    You have been chasing me around all summer and this season telling me I was wrong and that anything below 6 wouldn't be satisfactory.

    That is why we made the bet and I'm going to make yous user name and avy for you with great pleasure.

    Once I've defeated you we can maybe have separate arguments, but on isak again you ignore key words like 'so far'.

    Now just sit back and wait until you've lost because you know you are going to... I'm only interested in our bet mate.:1980_boogie_down:

    You put out non-stop contradictory arguments, that constantly defeat yourself, maybe concentrate on that before attempting to defeat anyone else.

    Out now, it's pointless arguing with you cos I honestly don't know which of your points to argue with; there's an endless amount of the them and they all say different things.
