I heard a rumour that he's going to be appointed the new chairman of Anglo Irish.

Mac Masters · 10-07-2010 04:25PM

He predicted the final of the Euro's wrong, he'll probably get this final wrong!

No, never heard of him. I've been living in a hole the past 4 weeks. Same as yourself seemingly. :rolleyes:

aidan_walsh · 10-07-2010 04:29PM

Being someone who doesn't read newspapers, watch TV news or go anywhere near the sports section of any websites, I had no idea who/what it was until a few days ago. Never heard mention of it.

Is this your audition for the new host of the Tonight Show?

Ah, he's probably not psychic.
He probably just uses some Derren Brown trick of the mind method .

Slobodan Milosevic · 10-07-2010 04:53PM

Ah this is a load of me arse !

i'd drag out that octapus and blow the **** up with a lock a C4.
See how good he is then.

gerrycollins · 10-07-2010 04:57PM

in something like the last 35 games he predicted on the only one he got wrong was the Euro final 2 years ago.

he won me €8 on the spain game, not a fortune but for someone who never goes to the bookies im happy only wish he could help on th escore line better odds hee

Sea Sharp · 10-07-2010 04:57PM

The winning team on Sunday will be served Paul on a plate to celebrate.

He has predicted Germany to beat Uruguay 2nite in the playoff i was going to put €50 bet on with Boyle sports but the return is complete bolox only €12. So didnt risk it.
He will be fairly famous Octopos if Spain win the final

xAnnex · 10-07-2010 07:47PM

I think he's right about the Germany and Spain. Go Paul

crowdflash · 10-07-2010 07:58PM

The octopus is actually English, was born there, and he hasn't "predicted" anything. He always picks the box on the right. Whoever is putting the boxes in is obviously putting the favourites on this side.

fair play. I never act on these things. Once got a tip about a 66-1 horse, was gonna put a fiver on him, never bothered. He won.

squeakyduck · 10-07-2010 10:09PM

starlit · 10-07-2010 10:13PM

yes i don't believe he can predict the world cup winners that easily! he opens the box nearest to him!

You just know if this was in the Sun it would be followed by "This is what Paul might look like...."

Gunsfortoys · 10-07-2010 11:03PM

Funny how loads of blokes slag women for believing in the supernatural in one thread, yet praise a supposedly Psychic octopus in another. Clap ****ing clap lads.

seanaor · 10-07-2010 11:10PM

Just out of curiosity, how would he predict a draw?

Paul The Octopus
