Feels more like a loss to be honest.

It's funny that the bet started that Spurs will lose both games against Arsenal and Liverpool, and you've managed to haggle it down to just the Liverpool game.

Where did that confidence in our rubbishness go?

To be fate to Gaffer, I was happy with just the one game as I expect Spurs to play Liverpool off the park. There luck against Spurs has to run out at some point.

Spurs 4 Liverpool 0

Ah fair enough. It was the part where you said "you will lose both games" and Sandy said "fancy a bet?" And you said "hell yeah" that threw me.

My bad...

Spurs have played no one yet. I fully expect their season to unravel as soon as they do.

Good luck getting him to honour it. I had one with him because he bet me that Emerson would be our starting RB instead of Porro for at least 10 out of the first 15 games. As it stands he’s already close to losing that bet but he’s completely ignored it. That was for a name change too.

More chance of Sam Smith not being a complete cuunnttt for 24 hours than there is Sandy honoring this bet should he lose.

Pathetic isn’t it. This government have truly failed the mental health of people in deprived areas like the midlands.

I don't remember having that bet. You need to find the post if I did. And besides only four games have been played, and Emerson started in one. Would he surprised if Ange brings him back for the bigger games.

So how can you say I haven't honoured a bet after just four games, when it could go to the full 15 matches.

Very strange to call out a bet not being honoured so early in the bet.

Can you find the post please Fridge?

I will honour the bet. Why wouldn't I? I have standards. You sound like someone who wouldn't honour a bet.

posted on 10/9/23

Anyone want to have a bet that I honour the bet. Bananas posts like a big gobshite. Fancy a £10 I honour the bet with Gaffer?

You have gobbed off. Now put up or shut up.

No way are Liverpool winning at WHL this season. You couldn't even win at Chelsea and stole the game at Newcastle. Liverpool are poor away from home.

Read the thread, or just check out this comment here (my comment is first)....




"Doesn't recognise the potential in Romero but equally thinks Emerson is a first pick.

This guy is absolutely clueless about football. The only way Emerson gets in an Ange system is if he suddenly goes three at the back and he plays to the right of that three. There is no way in hell he gets in ahead of Porro because Ange's wide players need to to have the ability to tuck in or get forward. Emerson gets a nosebleed when he goes over the halfway line.

He works hard, sure, but his ceiling is so, so low. It got to the point last year where the Spurs fans were applauding the guy for not making a game losing mistake. I can't wait to get shot of him. He's been here two seasons now and as far as I'm concerned he's an unambitious, cautious defender, symptomatic of an era at Spurs I really want to forget.

You can go with him if you like Sandy?! Do us all a favour.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I think it is you that is clueless. The one thing the game against West Ham taught us is that they need defenders that can defend. Porro is useless at defending. Emerson is pretty good. Porro may get in playing in front of Emerson, but he certainly won't get in instead of him.

Emerson will 100 per cent be starting against Brentford.

Fancy a name change bet on it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not taking any bet that Emerson won't be starting against Brentford because, despite the fact that I think he's woeful, I know how Levy operates in the market so until we get at least two reinforcements at centre half, there's definitely a possibility he gets a game. Long term though, he hasn't got a hope in hell.

I'll take the bet that he doesn't become a first team regular for a name change. How does that sound? Given you reckon he's a first pick, surely you'll back your man?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

LOL you said Poch would be Spurs manager, and Kane would be leaving. I'm not sure you are as clued up as you think you are.

Emerson is a nailed on first pick, so happy to take the bet. If he starts in 10 of the first 15 games, then I win the bet.


-----

It's as clear as day Sandy. You took the bet on. I'm going to win it, but I'm not juvenile enough to care so I won't be demanding anything. I'm quite happy with the satisfaction of knowing more about the game than you.
