    Enough is ENOUGH!!!!!!


    The 1-1 draw doesn't bother me ...

    The danger of being knocked out doesn't bother me ...

    The best that we can do is 2nd and have a chance of meeting the s--- Barça doesn't bother me ...

    What does bother me is the jinx of ME watching them ... every time I watch Chelsea they do SHIIT !!!

    every time i miss the game they win easily ....

    Tomorrow i will post stats .. so all ye who will ridicule this post can see for yourselves ...

    It's like if you toss a coin 1000 times ...

    you don't get 500 heads 500 tails ...

    its more like 440 660 .... 700 300 ... 550 450 ... etc ..

    but when it's 999 1 993 7 ... something is fishy ... and thats what happens
    with me ... so I wont be watching Chelsea Arsenal this Sunday ...


    but seriously tomorrow i will post some true STATS .. I really hope I'm wrong
    as im getting a complex about this now ...


    and yes this should be in PI ....

    Hmmmmm, maybe you should watch them against the sh!t teams and not against the big four. Your win percentage should turn around then

    You're losing the plot - those stats are normal.

    X.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,918 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    So here's a question.

    Would Des go to Shel's matches if they lost every time he watched them?

    Would he be a real supporter if he didn't go? :)

    89% of all stats on the internet are made up tho, including yours just posted. Strangely enough that figure drops to 65% offline...

    They're funny I agree.

    But there actually rediculous in another. Jackdaw, go support Watford like me, at the moment, you've an expectation to lose every week so you'll never be let down.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,908 ✭✭✭Daysha


    I can't wait till he gets back from the match today. I mean, where else was he going to be? :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,788 ✭✭✭jackdaw


    I didn't watch it ... thank god ... that would have been terrible...


    anyway ...

    sick of footie ... sick of it ... teams i hate keep winning (includes Barça) ..
    as well as the usual lot in England ...

    meanwhile my team are a joke ... a crumbling mess ... that probably won't win one trophy in the next 10 years ...

    Well done Arsenal ... you have a good chance of finishing 4th now ..
