    Some of you may remember a debate back in October between myself and Burnsy, culminating in the following friendly bet:

    http://wfcforums.com/index.php?thre...16-10-2020-1945-ko.57642/page-11#post-2918929

    Fair play to @Burnsy , who put his money where his mouth is, Jumbo didn't fancy it but asked me to remind him

    So with 3 games left the starts are:

    Stevenson: 0
    Hungbo: 0
    Phillips: 0

    Total: 0

    I thought it would be a nice idea to let the forum pick the charity, if Burnsy doesn't mind? Poll closes Thursday, feel free to make more suggestions. Burnsy if you could pop a screenshot of your donation when made?

    On to promotion!

    To add - a screenshot will be made within an hour of the final whistle on the final day. You have my word!

    My mouth costing me money again!

    Why isn’t there an option to donate to the European Super League?

    I've got a bet with someone on here but I can't remember who. I said we either finish top and win the division or in the bottom 3 and go down, before the season started.

    £10 to the victor's chosen charity. Could still go either way.

    Lloyd and I had a bet on with proceeds for GOSH a little while back, so I vote to continue that trend and make them the unofficial official WFCforums charity of choice for friendly bets. :)

    Please could I nominate the Kirsty MacColl Music Fund for Cuba?

    It was established in memory of British singer and songwriter Kirsty MacColl who was a great friend of Cuba and helped promote the arts on the island.

    "Projects of all sizes are supported. We have donated strings, reeds, musical instruments and craft materials to arts and special needs schools, ballet shoes for dance students"

    Cuba has plenty of good music. It hardly needs Burnsy's money to help Gloria Estefan make a comeback.

    Within minutes of the final whistle too! You’ve got to wonder how long @WatfordTalk has been stewing on this one! ;)

    But like the Top 6, I made my bed....

    Final totals:

    Hungbo: 1
    Stevenson: 0
    Phillips: 0

    Total: 1

    Likely to see a loan/u23 football for all 3 next season, I'd guess. Shame that Hungbo picked up the injury in his one start.


    Cancer Research won the poll but your choice if you have a preference @Burnsy!

    That's a good idea. The forum could aim to raise, say, 1000 pounds a season for Gosh. Someone clever could create a Blue Peter style progress chart?

    Careful @Burnsy - Moosegasm will have a thread up for you soon talking about how you are behind all the pro-Deeney posts on social media, undermine the team at every opportunity, invented AIDS and cancer, and invaded Poland.

    I’m sorting the logistics of this out. Apologies for it not being ‘within the hour’ as I previously committed to but a bet is a bet and the payment will be made as soon as is possible.

    Your petty point scoring here is pathetic @WatfordTalk and shows you up for what you are quite frankly.

    And for complete clarity, we are in NYC and having to deal with a family remember who has Covid back in London and is in hospital.

    So you’ll appreciate why such trivial things might be taking a backseat right now. If you’d been polite enough to reach out beforehand, you may have found this out rather than trying to pressure or shame me. Idiot.

    We have just got promotion.
    Burnsy I am sure is a man of his word and will come through, I’ve seen nothing to suggest he wouldn’t.
    Let’s all be civil and give him time

    Its one thing not paying out on a bet , that just makes you a bit of a d1ck.
