maybe so but thats just taking one article out of the context of all the others. i may be wrong but from what i remember were anyone to be arsed trawling through all last seasons comments a different picture may be painted.

If you can find them - they have a tendancy to disappear very quickly during/after the game.

There were a number of threads about this last season, so for a few weeks I decided I'd keep a tally of how many calls he got right. To be fair to him, he'd probably have finished in the top 3rd of Adam's (now Snowie's) tipping contest. Seem to remember suggesting we should have Milward as an honorary member of the tipping contest last season too. It's not too late, Snowie.

Anyone remember/find what he tipped last week?

Does that mean anyone who tips against Wakefield in the tipping comp has a thread put up about them?

Why some are so touchy about others opinions I'll never know - print a positive article such as the one by George Riley, and you'll get post after post about how great it is, print one saying we'll struggle, and you have hell to pay!

So Wakefield fans don't like people expressing negative opinions about their team but do like people expressing positive opinions about their team...

...ground breaking stuff.

You do all realise that he's not tipped Wakefield to lose don't you? He's just saying that he thinks Salford will win with the 8 point start. All he's really predicted is that Wakefield won't win by 8 or more and that he woudln't be surprised if Salford actually won.

I thought that, we all get carried away sometimes. I don't think we have an excuse to lose at home to the new boys with the return of Obst, Scully and Snitch - but that's not to say we couldn't.

We'd thank you to leave us in peace while we are moaning.......We don't let facts get in the way of a whinge you know.

He tipped against us last Friday - no surprise there - wrote that we were playing with a lot of spirit, Drew was in good form etc., but he thought we would struggle to score points. And he was right.

Here's the bit at the end that you must have missed

The Wildcats are short on numbers right now and it wouldn't surprise me if Salford actually went on to win the game.

Even he would find it difficult to actually say that we will lose this one, but that's as near as damn it IMO.
