It'll be a blowout!

Most of the loss was no doubt exhaustion of an undermanned side. What I would say, however, is that we do frequently lose games where we go in as favourites. When this happens I think often there is a script that gets written after the win/wins the week/s before, and young players and fans alike are prone to buy into that script. I do wonder if young players like Daisy and many fans imagine you can just switch on and beat sides at will. They certainly won't after last night.

I didn't think the "Kiss of Death" statement, which history shows has a pretty strong track record, was "a major cause of a football team's poor performance". I said it because it is an accurate reflection on the result of Joffa and his "best case scenarios". I never even had the string theory proposition in my head when I made that post.

Lou Richards, as a scribe and tipster in the old Sun newspaper, was called the "Kiss of Death" because he was a poor tipster. If Lou tipped a team to win, they were more than likely to lose. No string theory, just a poor tipster.

Do you agree that when Joffa makes these statements, we lose? (let's not extend the question to involve the belief or disbelief of a jinx.)

The "study sub-atomic physics and the string theory" was in response to Kingswoods "what would have been different" statement. I never once had, or made, an association with the "Kiss of Death" and string theory. Kingswoods' response got me thinking about it.

Suggesting the study of said theory was nothing more than pointing out a theory that there may be more to life than what we perceive.

It is a theory, not proven, not disproven, that credible people in the scentific community are studying. Not some hocus-pocus black cat superstition or fairy tale.

I see. In that case, my original posts were more aimed at those who seemed to be seriously suggesting some kind of a jinx. When you brought in 'string theory' I presumed that you were actually supporting this concept.

So, as for Joffa being a 'kiss of death', in that sense... it seems to have some sense to it, I guess, on a wider scale. Still, the only thing that that really tells us is that if Joffa predicts us to win by a record margin, we will more than likely lose - thus the only thing Joffa can be held accountable for is giving us prior warning, I suppose.

Anyhow, I see there was a bit of a misunderstanding so I apologise for any hasty words that I may have used, and any unfounded criticism of your posts.

Yeah, wasted much dinero to fly across the bloody country this year to see us lose every single game I've watched. Bah.

The only real danger of gloating over ridiculous winning margins,blowouts,is if the Opposition players had seen them,as it just might fire some of them up.Most of the Saints would laugh at that inane prediction,but a few might get angry about it,and want to prove a point.Yet again,Joffa has had a harsh reality check.!

If I have to choose, I pick are you basing your judgement on what you read on an Internet site - cyberspace is real life - it is wink Listen mate - Jof is a passionate supporter and makes some calls I don't agree with but in real life I am happy to call him a mate - he is no half-wit and your comments are offensive and uncalled for. And second?
