    This was the first post mentioning any sort of bet about the number of goals he would score.

    Does that say goals in all comps or does it say PL goals? (Lower case pl because I was on my phone, granted).

    When do I get my apologies?

    Is that the post I replied to when I took the bet? Was it? Be honest now.

    You asked for the first post to do with the bet.

    The post you replied to referenced the '5 goals by Christmas' in the post I quoted above, and then extended to '7 goals for the season'. As the '5 goals by Christmas' was 5 PL goals (see again post I just quoted), pretty clear that 7 goals for the season was also referring to PL goals. You interpreted differently for whatever reason.

    Not to me. Again, I'm not even sure why Quill brought it up in the first place when the whole discussion was put to bed.

    I meant the first post involving me! If you're making a bet your previous cobversation isn't relevant. The post I replied to when I took the bet was this:

    It doesn't specify any competition.

    It's on page 60, no edits.

    To be fair, it would make sense, as he might come up against a Championship team with only a handful of players in a cup, not likely to happen in the PL.

    Case closed.

    But that wast what I replied to when I took the bet! If I walk into a bookies and he offers me a bet, his conversation with someone else 10 minutes earlier doesn't come into the equation!

    Pinky promise this is the last I'll say on this because I couldn't help myself with the stupidity of this comment.

    If you walk into a bookmaker, and he's talking to someone in front of you in the queue, and that person asks for odds for Ibra to score 5 league goals by Christmas, and then they turn to you and say, "But if you want goals for the season I'll give you over/unders on 7", the discussion is clearly centred around the league.

    Anyway Brucebones has it correct so that's the end of it.

    Middlesbrough are close to signing Cardiff City full-back Fabio.

    You're wrong about Mourinho and the charity shield Syd, he alway's counts it as a trophy when he lists the silverware that he's won, he is in a minority though.

    Chelsea supporters seem to think he never took it seriously. Hell Arsenal beat Chelsea in a Shield match under Mourinho!

    Hal Robson Kanu is still a free agent. Funny, a lot of people on here thought he was good, shocked he hasn't made a move..

    He's a free agent because he think he's ****ing Pele.

    He'll get a decent gig at a League One club if he's lucky.

    And suddenly the world makes sense again. I think it was a severe case of "he's been linked with us therefore he must be good" syndrome. I think league 1 is a bit harsh but I can see him going somewhere like Wigan or Fulham.

    He's about to sign for a PL club according to Sky.

    I hope it's us.

    I know he's no Aguero, but currently we're worried about whether Luer and Maloney will be fit enough to be on the bench. :emoticon-0107-sweat
