You drip in insincerity to be honest and it reads like you have anger management issues so maybe deal with that before talking about others potential drink issues Dr fucktard.

Imagine a gormless, wotless, pea brain like yourself making accusations of others being Gooner fans. If you can't comprehend why someone would feel the need to bet against their team in an attempt to soften the blow then that's on you but many do it. Gooner fan? did you read my post before where i state i live in Islington and i've paid out for my family (which includes two young kids) to fucking leave islington this weekend specifically because i can't bring myself to look at a Gooner shirt. My heart fucking beats double the rate when we play to the point that my mum actually told me "this team will kill you" with genuine fucking fear you know it all helmet.

The fact that you stooped so low to have a dig at a posters drink habits and also told me i have issues with "self hatred" tells me all i need to know about you as a human being tbh.

Mate, my issues with drink have been well documented on here which is precisely why my red flag raises whenever ANYONE says they're doing something because of alcohol... It's a slippery slope, I know ..

But to bet against your own team to lose, in order to win some money smacks of a desperation only an addict would know... Or someone who doesn't really care about the team they're betting against....
I'm sorry, I've been drunk to the point of passing out... I've been to A&E with it... But never EVER have I been in SUCH a state where betting on Spurs to go down seemed like a good idea...
I'm bad, but I'm not THAT bad... So please don't lecture on that...

I get that you're not a Gooner...of COURSE you're not... Sorry to suggest such a sour..m You're Spurs through and through...
I was just suggesting maybe bet on THE ARSE winning rather than US LOSING if you wanna soften the blow....
... seriously, no harm meant, peace brother! 🤜🏼🤛🏼 I just wish people didn't feel that betting against their own team was a viable option... It really isn't, It makes you feel dirty!!

No, I can't understand why someone would do that... That's on me I guess...

I rate loyalty above money...
If people rate money above loyalty l,then that's on them

But if someone offered you or your partner (assuming you have one) money to sleep with THEM... what would you, or they choose... and what would YOU be happy with?

Sleep with them for money, and fuck the loyalty, or turn down the money, in order to prove your loyalty...

...it's a simple choice, surely... isn't it???

You're not ok are you? You responded to the post already yet you've now responded again with a totally different tone.

Your analogy is warped beyond belief and if that's how your brain dissects and comprehends information then you have issues imo.

Betting against your team isn't disloyal, it's a way to mask hurt and pain. You go into thinking "please please let me just lose this money" because I'm not a heavy gambler and I bet on things I can afford to lose. If you win the bet it doesn't take away from your team losing, you still feel pain, hurt as much as the person that didnt bet.

Cheating or letting someone fuck your missus for money is a deliberate act in which you know the outcome. I'm aware my wife is about to get ravaged and I've taken a certain amount of money to console me. There's a known beginning and end point so thats when someone's morality can be judged.

If that makes you feel better I have a feeling that he didn't actually fix the match.
 
You're Daniel Farke...you've said:

- we want to win the final game and continue our unbeaten run
- we want to finish on a strong note and reward the fans
- we will continue to play as we have and give everything

You see spurs' relegation could depend on your performance and commitment in your final game?

Do you:

a) honour the words you clearly stated in your last press conference to the world?

b) see an opportunity to get rid of a league team that took 4 points from your fixtures with them and save a team you've already beaten at home and are weaker in many respects, as a club, risking accusations of lack of integrity and betraying your word in doing so and tarnish your image as an honest manager (having just survived in the prem for the first time)?

c) weigh-up what you said to the media against a deliberate, obvious lazy approach in an attempt to to tank the game, that does not guarantee spurs go down (as all they need is a draw at home), but result in you not sending them down and only tarnishing your image, unnecessarily, and going full bore for the win to end on a great unbeaten run and strong positive note to take into next season?

It's all about Farke and his character for me.

If Leeds play as they have been, spam can't win that game and we're golden.

I certainly don't trust us to not lose our game.

Leeds will go for it, but at the end of the day it's possible that West Ham can still get a result. I'm more worried about Spurs.

I feel like cheating on your partner is more significant than betting against your sports club in an attempt to hedge your happiness. This impacts the club in exactly zero ways.

If you don't think so, I acknowledge that everyone is different but would suggest reevaluating your life.

Name 5 players who haven't gone to teams we could not compete with realistically for signatures, that we would have objectively said top player?

5.

You mean like Wirtz and Isak or do you mean Semenyo before he hit the radar?

It's easy to say it but who are these players? And I don't mean players who have had good seasons and yet if we bought them it would ne howls of cheapskates. Real objective quality.

And that's not just a question for you.

I can't but that's not really my point. Look at who we have signed.

Doherty, Hojbjerg, Bergwijn, fucking Gedson, Richarlison, Solanke, Johnson, Emerson, Werner.

Just a few off the top my head who when linked with them hardly anyone here was keen on. Why? Because we knew they were not good enough to improve the squad, and arguably, would make it worse.

If we can see it, the club's operations can see it. We haven't taken a punt on a world class player since Ndombele, and while that didn't work out, you have to try again.

A big club half-assing it for years now is getting it's just desserts.
 
There will be a period in the game when WH are winning and we are losing. Then it will just be a question of whether these players can muster the bollocks to change something.

I think ultimately Leeds will nick a draw and that saves us.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!

Of course the club don't give a shit WHO you bet on... It was more a case of personal loyalty and moral values...

But on a personal level, if winning money on your own club getting relegated to "hedge your happiness", I would suggest re-evaluating what makes you happy!!

Unless you put a £1000 bet on in August at 1000/1 then yeah, you're probably quite happy right now with your life choices, HOPING we go down...

Good luck with that! Spend your winnings wisely!! Though don't "waste it" on a Season ticket... Wouldn't wanna pretend you're a real fan!

I think PL managers are all well aware of what an Ange-style normalising of losing games can lead to.

Luckily for us Farke is not a two-bit fat chancer with zero professional pride.

Yeah this is nailed on isn't it. As you say, in this scenario it could be West Ham being terrible that saves us. I don't think our team will collectively have the talent, cojones or grit to scrap their way to a point, especially factoring in the psychological hex that is our HOME STADIUM 🙄. There's always hope, but, at the very least at approximately 6pm on Sunday, either way, we will have sweet, sweet release from this nightmare season that feels like it has dragged on for a generation.

I would say the real chance is about 20/30 for West Ham but still our favour.

Well there are nine possible outcomes and only one sends us down. Strictly it would be 89% chance or survival.Opta is giving Spam a slightly better chance than that.

I don’t know how a person could rate any one of those nine outcomes as being more likely than the others, or that any of them are impossible. No outcome for either match would individually be surprising.

It’s a roll of a nine sided die and only one side is doom.
