Embarrassed By Post ...

[aelmpvw]

last july i ridiculed leicester city's sacking of nigel pearson and appointment of claudio ranieri ... any footballing questions that need answering you know where i am

[sandyRoe]

Yup. And we'll give you a wide berth. :-))

[campbellking]

I said he wouldn't succeed either, shows what I know.

[-Talbot-]

I remember that post ... I was going to put £25 on Leicester to win the title until I read your opinion and plumped for Arsenal.

[Tilly2]

That's rubbing salt in, Talbot!

[aelmpvw]

arsenal? didn't you see my post backing villa for the title?

[TWR]

We all make mistakes, don't worry about it.

[-Talbot-]

Had you been drinking meths when you posted that little nugget ael?

[Svejk]

TWR ///We all make mistakes,///

'Ahem!'

[Quizproquo]

I'll let you off. ;)

I remember being the voice in the wilderness in a post ridiculing his appointment. Whilst i certainly did not predict what has happened (and what a glorious thing it is) i stood up for Ranieri and (imho) his impressive CV, but both campbellking and thesecondlaw more or less poured scorn on that CV. Glad to see campbellking putting his hand up and eating a slice of humble pie. Now where's the others:-)

[Hopkirk]

Should I put £50 on West Brom to win the title next season?

[sunny-dave]

Good call Hoppy - in a treble with Villa & Woves getting promoted?

[sunny-dave]

Woves??? knit one, purl several I think

WOLVES

I saw this coming all along of course, but kept silent for fear of being embarrassed. Now I can announce confidently that I was right all along about Leicester's glorious triumph being so easily predictable nine months ago. Possibly.

Actually I'm not entirely sure I was even aware Leicester were in the Premier League this season...

[Ken4155]

^^
I'm sure you'd have a long line of those willing to take your bet, Hopkirk. At the beginning of each season, i have a bet on Burnley (whatever league they are in at the time - got 14/1 to win the Championship) and i am looking for some decent odds for top four finish, top ten finish, staying up, etc:-)

[Quoi]

currently 1000/1 on newcastle winning the premiership next year - could happen ;0>
see if rafa can keep them up first.

[gness]

Should've listened to Doris, Ael.......she was spot on.......that lady knows her football..............☺

[aelmpvw]

doris thought accrington stanley were the likely winners of the premiership gness

[gness]

She's probably just a year (or three) ahead of herself in predictions, Ael......but I'll put a tenner on them for next year......☺

I had no question as to that he would succeed, he is a fantastic coach. However, I like many (including you ael) believed that Nigel was doing a great job at the time and couldn't see the point to it. Pearson is a fixer and will be a great coach for struggling teams so don't feel embarrassed because timing was just the issue in this case and it paid off.
