Title: Help to settle a debate Post by: baldock92 on July 31, 2015, 12:54:21 AM Blonde's, I need your opinions on a much debated subject at work between me and a colleague recently. Here's a bit of background:
We were talking all things football before the upcoming season, who we think will do well, who's produced the best bit of business over the transfer window so far and other general football chat. The guy I'm talking with is a Leicester City supporter, and in the past has come across as perhaps the most overly optimistic football fan I know, believing that week in week out his beloved foxes will be walking away with 3 points, regardless of who they're playing, form etc. Now comes the statement that, after many hours of debating/ arguing the reasons behind it, had me tilted to fuck: Leicester City are 100% guaranteed to be in Europe within 2 seasons, whether that be through table positions, a good cup run or the fair play league. Please give your opinions. I believe he needs to be drugs tested, but if I'm wrong I'd like to be told by several other people.

Also pretty sure no more European places through fair play league any more from this season.

Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: rinswun on July 31, 2015, 06:59:35 AM He's obviously wrong as it's impossible to guarantee 100% that something is going to happen over which he has no influence.

Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: BorntoBubble on July 31, 2015, 10:56:17 AM Careful also, I made a similar bet with a friend re Hull City when drunk, never get in europe blah blah blah.
Then they got to the FA Cup final and got the place on a technicality! Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: Tal on July 31, 2015, 01:33:55 PM Arsène Wenger has made a fortune betting on Arsenal winning a trophy every season.
Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: baldock92 on July 31, 2015, 04:11:50 PM It seems obvious but the argument went on for so long I was starting to question myself.
The idea of a 3 year plan kept getting mentioned, and "because Ranieri has experience, Leicester have ambition other clubs don't have and the players possess a great mindset" seemed to be the main points put across by him. What odds should I accept from him is the next question :dontask: Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: TightEnd on July 31, 2015, 04:21:48 PM Leicester Cty fan
Win a cup or a fairplay league quite feasible europe via league much less so. got to improve 25 points on 2014-2015 and allow for others not doing same billionaire owners who will can ranieri if need be and throw more money at it, but money in itself is no great competitive advantage in this league with the TV deal i'd want 10-1+ to be on the side of your mate Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: baldock92 on July 31, 2015, 04:39:46 PM Good job he's ready to take 2/1 then. Valueeeeeeeee.
Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: TightEnd on July 31, 2015, 04:58:53 PM we simply can't be 2/1 for a european place on a 3 year view
hope you lose ;-) Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: baldock92 on July 31, 2015, 05:04:14 PM I was expecting around 8/1 but if he's willing to offer 2's who am I to say no? ;karabiner;
Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: Matt.NFFC. on July 31, 2015, 08:20:17 PM Fill yer boots......nothing like a delusional supporter.
I should know.......we are 14 years into a 5 year plan, and going backwards! The fair play league is their best chance. How many thugs are in the Leicester team? Who won the fair play last season? Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: Ironside on July 31, 2015, 08:54:38 PM Who won the fair play last season? west ham hence them entering the Europa in 1st qualifying round not sure they have it this season though Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: baldock92 on April 15, 2016, 02:34:51 PM Well this went well. Time to cough up his 2/1. Deserved loss for celebrating before it began.

They've done away with the fair play place as well so it was even harder for him to win :) Title: Re: Help to settle a debate Post by: TightEnd on April 15, 2016, 03:54:03 PM (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CgFqrGGW8AAWGlH.jpg:large)
