Deluded Geordies
I was watching the Reading-Newcastle game in the pub last night with a Geordie friend. I think the sight of Michael Owen in the tunnel went to his head because he offered me the dumbest bet ever: the equivalent of about 100 quid that Newcastle would finish higher up the table next season than Liverpool. He's a friend, so I asked him to rethink his offer. He insisted, thinking I wanted to chicken out of the bet, so what was I to do?

What is it about Geordies? They've got to be the most naive, manipulable fans in the world...

Hey, it wasn't my idea. I tried to let him back down too. He insisted and started giving me the "Pussy!" line for my reluctance. Tough shit.

I know. It'll probably be reduced to a night of boozing at his expense (which'll cost him no more than 25 quid round here)...

Re: Deluded Geordies
It's a stupid bet even on pure gambling terms. You could lay that 100 quid off with a bookies and you'd be guaranteed to make a profit either way, cos the bookies sure as shit aren't gonna be stupid enough to ofer shorter odds on Newcastle.

Re: Deluded Geordies
Free money.

You would have to feel they will improve, but an improvement for them might lift them up to the edge of the UEFA places.

There's no way whatsoever we will finish outside the top four, and with Rafa wiser to the Prem, plus some big money available in the summer, we all hope for a realistic title challenge.
