No one wants my bet then? Not even one of you willing to stake a fiver?
Wimps.
Why would we stake evens with you when we can get 9/2 on Betfair?
Give me 5/1 and I'd consider betting £50. Then again, I suspect you're just a figment of someone's diseased imagination. Given how easily you disappeared after a few good games form us, you'd be off like a rat up a drainpipe if you owed one of us money.
How about this for a counter bet. If you go down, you may never post again. Same here. If we go down, I'll never post again.

Osvaldo's problem to me is that he doesn't like to hold up play. He's not selfish, like some people think as he appears to be in love with the quick backheel 1-2 (except he never gets the ball back). But his mindset is either a quick pass or attack the defenders. The problem is that too often he doesn't have any support and he doesn't wait for it to develop.
I'm not sure what Pochettino wants to do about that. He can wait and see if Osvaldo will adjust his mentality. Or it may be that the rest of the team will have to adjust to be quicker on attack in terms of positioning and passing. Lallana should be capable of it. Lambert has the mentality and skills but maybe not the speed to join in on a quick attack, and Rodriguez lacks awareness. We still seem to have problems getting the ball from the midfield to the forwards. Against good teams, we still come out pretty well in terms of time of possession, but a lot of it is just passing from the midfield back to the defenders to the GK back to the defenders, etc.

I thought it might be. That wasnt my question. I asked why you sign all your posts off with it? I was hoping it was some old signature or something that you hadnt deleted properly but now I fear that you do it because you think it makes you cool and unique.
Because its for charity. Because its a bit of fun. I appreciate what you're saying about odds. Thats why I said five of you could bet a tenner to spread the risk.
As for your comment about me not paying up. You should apologise for that.
On the subject of West Ham, why does Sam use so many defenders and constantly rotate?! I put Demel in my FF team as defending is one thing West Ham are good at and he didn't even play! Defenders are normally subbed on, too. Weird.

I'll throw you a bone and say I don't think WHU will go down. But think about it. You're on another team's forum trying to make a bet that maybe your team will be ever so slightly less **** than maybe a few people think. Why would any of us care enough about either WHU or you to make that bet? We have better teams to worry about, and better issues to discuss with better posters.
I appreciate what you're saying. But when several of you are on here, telling me and me personally that we will go down this season, I asked them if they wanted to bet on it. No one did. I just about got Lambo to bet that we would finish below 13th.
You see. We are nowhere near as bad as you all wish. We finished a fraction above you last season. Since then you have 36m of new signings playing for you. We have Stewart Downing. There would be something very wrong if you werent performing considerably better than us right now. Had Carrol been fit, we would be ALOT higher.
This is a thread about who goes down. Several of you are claiming we will drop. Im saying put your money where your mouth is.
So in truth. With the exception of onion boy, you all know we wont go down so there is no point in continuing to say it to me. I don't wish to discuss the bet any further.
Have you ever considered that maybe, just maybe these posters are just, ahem, winding you up, Trix?.....For the record, I don't think you'll go down either, but you can't deny that you haven't made any progress this season, how long before the Dirty Daves lose patience with Long Ball Sam?
Aww. Are you upset that I wouldn't want to trust a nameless WUM on an internet forum? Bless.
Vin (I only did that to look cool)
PS. Please, please go away to wherever you hid while we were winning and you were losing.
In which case I take back everything I've ever said about him. He's a wonderful person whho regularly saves kittens from drowning and small golden-haired children from being run down by horses and carriages.

Yes, make sure it's plugged in and use a metal knife held in wet hands while standing in a bath half full of water.
Not signed so as not to upset your sensibilities...
What an angry young man!

For some obcure reason I was listening to Talk Sport around tea time, a West Ham fan on there praising Poch and slagging off Fat Sam, wanting Glen Hoddle to take over, and was fed up with getting neck ache watching the current hoof ball trend. Several others wanting to see Sam go, not at all grateful for the good times that he gave them.
I think you are a little confused, it's not that many think that you will go down, it is just that since you have been posting on here, many more want you to go down, that is the difference.
