Fong, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Frank the Tank and Alan Hunt were the only BA haters/sackers with the gonads to put their reputations on the line in a bet against Ross, Paul Stephen, Goyoueels and myself as BA supporters. When the Eels finish top 4 (top 8 for Fong) this year then the haters/sackers will have their 1EE names changed to whatever the BA supporters choose and they don't get therir names back until our next wooden spoon. In the unlikely event that we finish bottom 4 (bottom 8 for me) then the BA haters/sackers get to change our 1EE name to whatever they like and it stays until the Eels win their next premiership - which won't be long given we will win two before 2020.
I can tell Fongy is getting distressed about having his prized 1EE name altered by yours truly in several months, so I thought we could support Fongy and Co. through this difficult time by helping them come up with some excuses in advance e.g.
1. We got lucky, next year we will finish bottom four, how about double or nothing?
2. It only happened because BA listened to our whining and followed our advice
3. I always knew we could do it, I didn't really mean it
4. My opinions change with the footy score and I would be more than happy to change my 1EE name to The Fong/Arnie/Frank/Alan loves BA and wants to bear his children

Dreaming is a beautiful thing, and should be encouraged. The danger is when we allow the fiction to encroach upon the reality. (-:

If I wasn’t a dreamer I wouldn’t be a Parra supporter
A profound truth in that!!
Both on the life of an Eels fan.
Has anyone got any good ideaa for names? Top 4 is a big ask but you never know. We might have the 15 other teams caught for cheating or something.
Great idea. That way we get to rub it in eitherway.
This video is a good analogy of what is going on at 1EE between the optimists and the pessimists. The guy is like the 1EE optimists getting hyped about our imminent premiership this year and his wife is like Fongy and the pessimists
Only 4 people had the gonads to put their name forward as BA haters but hey, only 4 people got behind him too.
I didn't see this blog last season but i will put my name on the BA hate list even though i don't hate him i just don't believe he should still be coach of the eels.
Welcome aboard HFK
you have already changed my name and i haven't lost yet!
