stevenl Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Paul already predicted the finals result, a win for The Netherlands. So yes, I believe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkjames Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 The punter in the UK that didn't take the octopussy's advice and 415,000 pounds on Germany vs Spain may try to recoup his losses and go with the 8 legged freak? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNF55 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Paul already predicted the finals result, a win for The Netherlands. So yes, I believe him. Sorry, but you have to wait a bit longer for that. Paul will draw the winner of the third place match later today (4 pm or so) and after that the winner of the final - not sure whether this will be today or tomorrow.

For the 3rd place match (what's the point of this?) I expect a bunch of bench warmers to get a run-out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaoPo Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Paul already predicted the finals result, a win for The Netherlands. So yes, I believe him. NO...he did not (yet.......at this time when I'm writing) since Paul the Octopus will open one of the boxes at 11.00AM in Oberhausen - Germany; that's 4.00PM in Thailand.

stevenl Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 Much closer to home: parakiet Mani from Singapore made the correct prediction for a lot of games already. He predicts the Dutch will win. I trust Mani this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaoPo Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Much closer to home: parakiet Mani from Singapore made the correct prediction for a lot of games already. He predicts the Dutch will win. I trust Mani this time Paul, the octopus, 2 years ago, predicted all matches correctly during the EC Champions league....ALL of them correct!.........apart from the final; he was wrong there... note: isn't it silly we are talking here about an octopus, born in England, living in some aquarium in Oberhausen - Germany and we take this 8-armed bandit serious ? I'll bet this creature is laughing his arms off.... LaoPo Edited July 10, 2010 by LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThaiPauly Posted July 10, 2010 Share Posted July 10, 2010 But its got to worth putting a few squid on his prediction. I don't mean an arm and a leg. Paul would not miss them ...I would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Germany won, did they not? And we laugh at Thai people with their lottery numbers on trees. Gonna start looking for a likely tree soon, I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changian Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Let's keep this Thailand related shall we. As Lin Ping, the Chiang Mai panda cub has also gone for Spain. Anything an octopus can do, so can a panda. ( Although I think she may just have copied Paul's result.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changian Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The big squid is German. You expected him to predict the Dutch to win? Red card! Ahem, Paul is English - born at Sea Life Park in Weymouth but went to Germany a few years ago in part exchange for Owen Hargreaves. Looks like the Germans got the better deal than Man Utd in that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's grand that an English subject, invertebrate though he may be, can find some small way to connect England to this World Cup. Bully for you.

Moonrakers Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The blame for England's shoddy performance must clearly lay entirely with Paul the octopus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The blame for England's shoddy performance must clearly lay entirely with Paul the octopus. Clearly the reason England lost to Germany was that they already knew the result thanks to that meddling octopus and didn't bother to try. Time for a barbeque! Who said spit roast JohnTerry??
