Watching Look North the other day and hearing about the troubles at Grimsby, my mind has been jogged back to a daft wager my mate at school made with me. It was 2003, City were in the bottom division, and Grimsby were in the division above. My mate wasn't an avid fan of the codheads, more of an arm chair type, who now goes on and says he supports whoever plays the better football out of the top 4. But back then he enjoyed winding me up about City's misfortunes, and us being stuck in the bottom division. His attempts took me down the path of this stupid bet we made. He started by saying he would bet Grimsby could get to the premier league before City. At first i didn't take him on it until a few weeks into the season, and after City had started well in our league campaign and they started faultering. Anyway, come the summer i was laughing it up when they were relegated and we took their place. And since then i've been justified. However, the cheeky get hasn't paid up yet, after all this time. I'm thinking of adding interest. Or i might just do what Samuel L. Jackson says alot in Pulp Fiction, and "go medieval on his ass". Anybody got any daft wagers you've got yourselves in?
Nothing along the same lines, but my mate put £350 on City get promoted when we hit good form last season. Bad decision.
i once put £500 rent and bill money on chelsea to beat sunderland at 1/5 in a season sunderland won about 1 game, and chelsea were running away with the league..thought it would be the easiest 100 pound ever made, luckily they won, but with an 81st minute deflected goal...didnt do that again
