David EdwardsGould literally eats his words.

Phil Gould was literally forced to eat his words last night in a function organised by the Canberra Raiders fan club, the "Green Army".
At the $250 benefit dinner, Gould was forced onstage to eat the 446 Herald Columns that he had tipped against the Raiders in, along with the printed online versions on the SMH website.
In a moment of levity, Gould pointed to the fact that he had actually tipped the Raiders to win in Sunday's game against the Knights, exclaiming; "I don't have to eat THAT article, boys!".
After consuming the large pile of documents (along with a local Canberra 1989 Cabernet - in tribute to the 1989 Grand Final victory), Gould licked his lips and promised the club that he would jump wholeheartedly on the Raiders bandwagon this September. Gould also promised to learn the names of the Raiders team, and to inform Ray Warren that "Michael" Chalk's real name is actually Marshall Chalk.
After thanking the club for the meal, Gould vowed to restrict his contempt only to video referees, Super League, ARL administrators, the stripping law, and cornerposts for the remainder of the 2008 season, and to eliminate the possessive pronouns "We/Us" from all articles/commentary in regards to the Bulldogs and Roosters.
