Six Nations Grandslam Still On

Yes, my fellow posters. The six nations grandslam (of a sort) is still on.

One poster amongst us has successfully predicted 12/12 outcomes so far to sit on maximum points in the 6 Nations prediction thread.

Should that poster successfully predict the final three outcomes and hence the victor of the most tightly contested six nations in living memory, then it will be some achievement, possibly even never seen before in 606v2 competition history (fact check needed).

I'm sure you will all join with me in wishing Good luck to him! (Or her).

Let's pull a few bob together and bribe the Welsh players to throw the game against Scotland. They're out of it so have nothing to lose except lose. Scott Johnson will stay on as coach, GE will make the wrong prediction and I'll make a lot of money by betting big on Scotland by 30 +.

I see nothing but win win.

I thought that was you GE? Are you having confusing thoughts about your bits?

Lets be honest there have been no surprises to date and no outstanding teams. The top 4 sides have all beat each other at home and Scotland beat the weakest side, Italy away.

The only really tough one will be France v Ireland, with France getting poorer every game and Ireland playing for the championship, could this be a first away win for the top 4? If so it will be a deserved Championship for Ireland.

Is it me? Really? Wow. I heard a rumour but i so infrequently check these things I hadn't noticed.

:-)

No humility on this bloke. Such a shame because otherwise I'd congratulate him.

Just as I always suspected. GE is Gerry Thornley. Team-sheet for France, Thornley, when you get a moment.

Funny too that GE gets it right and then the following week blames the refs for making him right  It's a hard slog being a genius.

Not blaming - explaining the prediction. You could say they lived down to my expectation.

You're just dreaming them up GE.  This world doesn't even exist.  You're in an Inception-like dream that you yourself are controlling... that's why the results are working out for you, and why your deepest fears about sly refs are coming to pass

We'll be sending someone shortly to waken you............ post WC.

Yeah. I'm starting to believe I'm making it happen. Did anyone notice the vanilla sky over twickenham yesterday?

Is it not considered poor form to wish yourself Good luck so publicly?

Consider it my own variant of the swan dive, or Burrell superman stance.

At least I didn't post a link to Tom Hark and ask you to do that infuriating hand pumping dance.

Congratulations on being on the verge of such a massively significant milestone in your life. Truly, these are the things that matter, the things you'll think about on your deathbed.

A moderator making a sarcastic personal attack? Surely not.

Like being a MOD on a rugby forum?   

Oh boy.

Ouch.

Thing is though GE its devalued this year, all us Brits and the Aussies have a Lions Hangover. Youre only up against Biltong.

Wouldn't we expect Whocares to win it?

always seeking approval

Scratch there's a vast world of difference between seeking approval and mindless self aggrandisement over meaningless and inconsequential coincidences.

This may never happen again and I'm going to milk it longer than SCW milked his happy coincidence.

I expect they'll want me to run the commonwealth games after this.

It'll be between me and that octopus from FIFA.

Bizarrely I find myself having to cheer you on this weekend GE ... I can't believe it ...

And that is why you'll be my right hand man at the games heaf.

I think I'm getting worried now   

GloriousEmpire wrote:Wouldn't we expect Whocares to win it?

Well some idiot backed France to win   

Embarassed for you GE.

Save your embarrassment for the errant wanders of the prediction world! I sir, am unashamedly awesome.

I expect I'll be offered a knighthood for this.

Well I guarantee you will get one wrong on the last last weekend. Almost certain of it.

Dont fall in love with yourself too much, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Probably. I imagine I will get all four wrong.

You will get the Ireland France result wrong for one.

Ireland are playing France ???

WHICH THIN SKIN NINNY WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR DEFICIT HAS GONE AND WHINGED TO THE MODS?

For the love of turps, there are some absolute glassware egos out there.

I'm having a laugh for heavens sake. What on earth have I said that is even moderately offensive to any reasonable person?

nothing really

Tell that to the precious mods.

P.s. half of them send me pms saying they think it's funny and that a couple of mods here have ego issues and need to calm down

Especially the NEW ones

Sure I get reported sometimes too. I wouldnt worry about it. In general they do a very good job.

GE, I sent you a PM, you can make of it what you will.

Oh ok GE is actually sane (on this thread). Good stuff. In which case I congratulate you sir on your imperious form so far in the aforementioned competition.

GE not a good idea to disseminate content of private messages to you. They're private for a reason. Just some friendly advice.

Is there a Norfolklass supporters group?

Anyone but GE

Chances are he won't win as he submitted nonsense predictions for the final week. Well except for his prediction for the Ireland France game which could happen. However, its unlikely italy will beat England 40-0 and Portugal probably wont beat Scotland 3-0.

So he forfeited his chance to win, how magnanimous of him.   

I still beat you though biltong! Even after someone mysteriously deleted the predictions they said I could make despite being banned!

Perhaps this says something about our comparative judgment?

For instance what some might called a WUM, others might see as a simple truth delivered straight up with no sugar.

Everybody loves a bad loser GE

Apparently so, if we extend the analogy - I imagine I will win the RWC prediction thread.

You were going to predict a France win though werent you? Therefore you wouldnt have completed your so called slam.
