Bale on his way

Discussion in 'Chelsea' started by CFC: Champs £launderx17, Jul 23, 2013.


  1. This time the paper is simply reporting exactly what many others are reporting, which informs me that it is an agency generated item and not one obtained as the result of The Guardian's own first-hand investigations.

    That doesn't explain how a newspaper, wherever they get their news from, can have the highest incidence of correctly reported transfer stories and still be a 'Wum Rag' does it HIAG ?

    Its still only 34%. They are wrong twice as often as they are right?

    <laugh> True.

    But out of the lot of them they are still right over a third of the time.

  5. I suspect that the third of stories they get right are those that they investigate themselves and are able to verify a credible source.

    In the current Bale story, there are no credible sources.

    Those that they get right have ensured that they hold the honour of being the most accurate Newspaper when it comes to transfer stories. So how does this equate with them being a 'Wum Rag' HIAG ?

  7. Okay, they are a wum-rag two-thirds of the time.

    THe Guardian are right about one thing: they say Bale is bigger than the club.

    Talking of Wumming. I guess the whole point of this thread on this board, regardless whether the story is true or not, to wind up Spurs fans.

    Sandy can't help himself. But I'm not sure if he really is Sandy Brown - although the dozy wum style would fit - He is definitely a Sandy crack though <ok>

    Most transfer stories only have two outcomes - they are true or false. So being right 34% of the time is worse than guessing!

  18. For chrissakes, PS! Don't confuse PESKIE with philosophy! He has a hard enough time trying to follow text-speak messages on his mobile phone.
