Might've guessed you'd be the first to answer mate
Posted by masseur
Well.. sorry mate but you know... we have the cricket ashes, we won the rugby leage ashes yesterday, we beat the all blacks... we're on form so you haven't got any chance. England might as well just pack up and go home now
!
Posted by Fritz24
Yeah, but we're through to the final without even playing well yet. It'll all come together next weekend

this should be in the mobile phone free zone though

You're only jealous because Belgium haven't got a decent rugby team
Posted by masseur
do Belgium have any rugby team?
Posted by Fritz24
Probably not, but I thought I'd be on the safe side
Posted by MaThIbUs
we don't have a team indeed :-( why don't you guys have a bet?
Posted by Fritz24
Hmm there's an idea - what do you think masseur?
Posted by MaThIbUs
who loses has to add 'i love the Xian rugby team' to every post during 48 hours
Posted by masseur
The only things I ever bet on our the Melbourne cup, the grand national and the Oxford/cambridge boat race... other than that I am definitly NOT a gambling man. I am, however, a very sporting man and will be following this very closely next weekend!
Posted by Fritz24
mathibus I like your idea for the forfeit
Thing is it's my birthday party next Saturday as well so I probably won't be on here for 48 hours after the final
Posted by MaThIbUs
masseur > my proposal wasn't really gambling.. Fritz24 > during 48 posts then
Posted by Fritz24
Ok - good idea
Posted by masseur
48 posts? that will be a couple of hours for me
nah... I'm happy just to just keep this as friendly rivalry thanks since really any gambling, to me, is still gambling, even if it doesn't include money.
Posted by MaThIbUs
..it's just a fun thing..
Posted by Fritz24
No probs masseur
should be an interesting match anyway.
Now where's all the other England fans?
Posted by masseur
hiding probably because they know the Aussies will win!
Posted by Fritz24
If I remember rightly we beat you last time we played you in Oz

LIES!

Posted by wapchimp
Come on england! Id like to think they would win.
Posted by Fritz24
Seeing as the rugger is tomorrow I'm going to revive this thread.
Come on England
Swing low......sweet chariot.......coming for to carry me home........
Posted by masseur
fair enough... but allow me my little war cry...
Aussie! Aussie! Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!
Posted by kev.morris
I think masseur knows deep down that england will win, thats why he will not bet. No point betting on a dead cert to loose;-)
Posted by masseur
no, I am sorry but using psychology against me (i.e. my non belief in gambling) will not work... and as for who will win... I reckon it will be a close game but the aussies will be victorious! better team, home advantage etc etc
Posted by kev.morris
Good excuse for a piss up whoever wins :-)
Posted by masseur
question is whether to stop tonight or just keep going until tomorrow
Posted by kev.morris
Decisions, decisions! All day sessions dont you just love them
Posted by masseur
yep. and mine starts in 1 hour when I get to the lounge in Frankfurt airport... gotta get out of this place!
Posted by kev.morris
Dont get too wasted to fly. :-) do you still get free drinks on long haul? Could be the deciding factor!
Posted by masseur
nah this is just the regular trip to Gatwick and yeah, I do get a couple of free B+C on the plane too but the missus picks me up at the other end so no worries
Posted by Andy.
I do hope England win because i put £1000 on it at the start of the compo.
Dont worry its not real money, im not that rich. i put the bet on a wap betting site. http://www.etherbet.com

Posted by morbodestroys
Agreed - GG!!!
Posted by judge
When the final started yesterday, I had my mind set to root for the Aussies since I have lots of friends down under and I'll be travelling there in a few months. Well, after seeing the play by England's team, I was forced to reconsider my position. A well deserved victory!
Posted by Andy.
ouch, my head hurts like hell after celebrating far too much.
YAY ENGLAND!!
Posted by Anuj
@Andy - You put £1K on England man u must be loaded now
Posted by Fritz24
Woo hoo
What a match, what a finish, what a result.
Well played to the Aussies for making it an amazing final.
Swing low.........sweet chariot...........
