Are there bets to be settled?

[Ohiotractorboy]

Ohio, got to be honest, I really don't like the MLS. I've tried to get into it a few times, but for a few reasons, it's not happening. The commentators play a large part. I only like hearing "deeeefence" during US Football, not soccer. There are other things that get on my tits about it too, but what I'm saying is....., It'd be wrong accepting a "Crew" hat. And as you know, I'm an all things Michigan fan, so all things "buckeye" is definitely out!!

Here is an idea. Scrap last seasons bet. And what about this..... Think of a bet and if you win, I send you a six pack of Irn Bru and a box of Scottish Tablet. And if I win, you send me a six pack of the best Root beer, and some decent beef jerky? Can't get enough of the Root beer.

"I'm an all things Michigan fan" It's a wonder I keep talking to ya...

Anyway, if we say "Dafence" would that be better? Officially it was a MSU hat last year, and this new one sounds good too. Can you not get root beer over there? R&W is my favorite.

It's more a "Difence" than a "Dafence" Ohio,

We get American A&W root beer here, but it's too bloody expensive. Pretty sure it'll be cheaper in your neck of the woods. Similar with Irn Bru. I can get it for 50pence a can down the local Tesco.

Marko I shall put mine on before the first game kicks off Friday night if that's ok? Hope you have got yours sorted by then.

[marko69]

Ok, Derick. Here are my choices.

Relegated from the premier, in no particular order:

Burnley
Crystal Palace
Hull City

Relegated from the championship:

Sheffield Wednesday
Rotherham United
Millwall

[derick_ipsw]

From the Prem:

Burnley
Leicester
WBA

From the championship:

Blackpool
Millwall
Rotherham

Good luck

[marko69]

Was going to go for Leicester, but I think maybe they'll do not too bad. Was actually going to put Aston Villa in there instead of Hull.

Best of luck, and We shall remember the bets are in this thread, so we can do updates as the season progresses.

[Ohiotractorboy]

What do we bet for the irn bru/root beer?

[marko69]

Ohio, what about a similar bet but just choosing the six play off teams? The most win.

I'll go with (in no order)

1. Nottm Forest.
2. Derby County
3. Wigan Athletic
4. Fulham
5. Norwich City
6. Blackburn Rovers

[marko69]

I took out Cardiff and put in Forest....., but then stupidly forgot to put Cardiff in another top 6 position. Oh well, its done now. It ain't getting changed.

[derick_ipsw]

How are things going? (and it helps to find this, without trawling through loads of pages)

[marko69]

Well remembered......, we shall need to go look at those relegation places, Deeko!

I have 2 out of my 6 in relegation places. Hardly setting the world alight!!

QPR
Burnley

Only 1 for me so far.

And the Ohio IRN BRU bet;

Norwich
Forest
Wolves

It's me 3 Ohio 3 at the moment.

I had no idea that Lord Lucan was Scottish.

[derick_ipsw]

Hey Marko how are the bets doing? I have improved slightly to 4 out of 6 in the relegation battles.

[marko69]

I'll need to set time aside later and check that, Derick.

Morphy made comments about me and Lord Lucan in another thread. Can anyone help me with this? I'm confused.

[Frosty]

Don't get it either, still it's a fascinating crime thriller The Lord Lucan story.

It's me 2 Ohio 2 at the moment.

Marko I thought I would drag this back from page 5. Update as I see it you have 2 correct I and have 3. so it is all to play for.

Certainly is.

To make it easier, I have edited the very first post of this thread with all of our choices..... Makes it easier to check, scrolling through the thread etc... , don't know about you , but that's a massive pain in the arsehole, or as*hole for Ohio!

[marko69]

Someone on another thread has said Bournemouth are certainties for the auto promotion! Oh boy, I wanna wager that they fkn won't do it. But I better not.

Still all to play for me old mate.

[marko69]

OHIO:

Our bet finished 1-1. You predicted ITFC for a top 6 finish. I predicted Norwich. Our other five picks were duffers.

[derick_ipsw]

With the championship finished marko I lead 2-1. So lets see how the Prem goes.

[marko69]

Very true, buddy...... Was waiting until end of season. Picking two of the three relegation places is actually very good going. You should win the bet just for doing that!

Well, shows how smart we are, doesn't it?
