Henry, he couldnt keep the wind up going for 3 years FFS.

HF, surprising though it is, I'm sure he could. I have experienced the like before.

He is genuinely interested in betting on XF but just needs a bit more entertainment, he has loads of time on his hands on weekdays. It may not be our way of finding entertainment but it takes all sorts to make the world.

Anyway enough talking about Lou, as it makes fools of us all

Henry

I can't read half the posts so it's difficuilt to keep up with it.

To answer your last post.  I went to back Danyl at the very start but was put off by his 5/2 from memory?  I therefore backed Joe thankfully at 12/1 maybe 13/1.  Each week I was sticking up for Danyl specifically because everyone seemed to jump on the bandwagon of Danyl this, Danyl that etc. I hope someone reading this would be so kind as to at least adnit "yer the annoying fcuker did back Joe last year I'll give him his due"

For instance I can't stand Liverpool FC but if someone was to say they aren't a great club with a great history and great supporters I'd stand up and say 'hang on a minute' type thing.

This year there's been this big anti Matt thing because they're clutching at straws and post every little teeny weeny thing to go against him. 'matt seen kissing one of the dancers' 'Matt seen discarding a chewing gum in the street shock horror' So what ........ it's a singing competition!  I then reply with my opinion of which I'm perfectly entitled.  I do have an uncanny knack of picking the winner at the very start every year.  This year however I've only got that big million to one shot Matt running for me though so who knows.  Fingers crossed. (wink)

hmmmm

Fair enough, I got heavily on Joe but not until he was a lot lower alas if memory serves.

ffs

I still think those other songs are likely to be wrong - nothing else seems to have been confirmed other than the initial 3.

Have to be honest again and say from the title I've never heard of Matt's supposed song but having played it on youtube I recognised it right away.  A big song yes and sang by a girl but as Matt has such a range (99% of men couldn't get anywhere near them notes it's very very high for a man) he can just about sing it in the same key a woman would.  They may drop it a semi tone or a tone perhaps for him but that's still amazingly high.

It's a good song that compared with say Rebecca's (just using her as an instance as I don't know too many of the supposed songs) I stated  before it was all a bit dirgy and never went anywhere at all, no big moment in the chorus.  Compare that to Matt's when he gets to the part "Till now I always got by on my own".  It kicks in and definately could be a 'wow' moment. It's a far far better choice than Rebecca's.  Hated last week's Beatles choice for Matt but I do really hope he sings this as I think it will show his voice off perfectly.

So far all we know to be highly likely:-

Mary - All I Want is You (U2) and Brass in Pocket (The Pretenders)

Wagner - Creep (Radiohead)

Have to agree with Lou [;)]

Alone would be good for Matt

stu

Know what i mean though.  I've blocked 13 people so half the page are just blank to me!  Bl00dy hard trying to keep up!  Perhaps Viagra's the answer!

exactly shrewdbury

stu

No thanks.  They've all been rude to me and name called, every single one of them.  I always put across my point as fairly and politely as possible.  It's a shame as there are some knowledgable people on here and I like some of the banter but when it gets personal and hurtful I'll take myself away from them.  The 'blocking' has it's pro's and cons but it suits me all things considered.

I'll start again with a clean slate next year ans if people want to be rude and hurtful I'll do the same again.

That is a LIE.  I totally refute that I have been rude and name called.

and Lou has called me a tool.

Ok chaps, off out.  Behave yourselves please. And Lou, please call a truce with squares

I'll be on BBC Radio York this afternoon talking about XF if anyone wants to tune in

OK, so you've blocked people. 

Stop going on about it day in day out. 

Stop talking about them, when you can't/won't read their responses. 

Stop being such a hypocrite and joining their threads. 

Some of the things you've said, where you've included me, are LIES.

I haven't been "rude" - that's a LIE.

Think you should at least see squares posts.

from the person on here who has the least respect for anyone else's opinion.

I seem to recall you blocked him because he was disagreeing with you on a thread - what was rude other than that, and have you never used insulting terms like 'next!!' in your posts then?

You could always block him squares...

stu

Sticking up for him>  hmmmmm

I seem to recall you blocked him because he was disagreeing with you on a thread - what was rude other than that, and have you never used insulting terms like 'next!!' in your posts then?

Firstly why would I block anyone just for disagreeing with me that's ludicrous.  We all have our own opinions as I'm the first to say on anyone's behalf ... Squares included.  Surely as honest, decent, level minded individuls you must see there is a reason I've blocked him.  I know you all hate giving me anything but you must see that surely?

Also stu the 'next'term is not insulting is it.  It's just me thinking 'bring it on' I'll answer all of you who I reply to'.  You're not going to bully me into submission just because I don't agree with the rest of the 'sheep' on here.  'Next'
