It's Quiet thread 14 - 'do one' edition

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

15/8 last night.

Arbitrage is your friend. Same stake at 11/4 to come to city and you can put your slippers on and count the cash. Guaranteed win at minimum odds of 7/8 and maximum of 7/4.

Messi to speak in a couple of hours!

It can only be to say he's staying.

If he was coming to us he'd be at the airport.

 

[Gio's mate]

Not been on since last night. Any movement? Preferably not bowel related

• Messi Snr shouted "Barto is a cnut" out the car window.
• Press interpreted that as Messi is staying at Barca.
• Someone posted a tweet to that effect.
• Everyone lost their shit.
• Bookies slashed odds on him staying.
• Everyone lost their shit.
• Tolmie told everyone to calm down.
• Nobody calmed down.
• I had a Tuna & Vinager butty.
• Two people put £20 on Messi coming to City.
• Odds are now shorter - Which means he is coming again.
• It has now calmed down.

Messi to speak in a couple of hours!

To whom?

 

[LongsightM13]

Messi to speak in a couple of hours!

So that will be one of the pre-recorded videos most likely

 

[Damanino]

given Messi can leave for free according to some there is quite a lot posturing and meetings and negotiation...
I tend to think both side is lying and getting a high transfer fee out of City is their main aim which the two camp will share between each other.

I do it a lot with City, softens the blow if it doesn't pan out the way you want.

I get slagged off by my mates for doing this all the time. I put £20 on last night too

 

[bugsyblue]

To whom?

The world!

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I did it for the last 5 or 6 games of the 2019 title run-in. Kept backing the draw/defeat double chance, knowing that a single draw could be the nail in the coffin with Liverpool winning every game at the time. Ended up losing about £400 and it was worth every penny to see us win the league!

I did similar but backed the scousers to win every week. Made £200!

By the same token, if this falls through, many faces will be redder than a RAWK poster’s ring-piece rubbed with red hot chillies.

The levels of panic from the flappers is much greater than those declaring optimism.

You must know there's loads who do that!

I see someone is reporting Messi is going to speak in the next few hours. I'd be very surprised if he were speaking outside of Barca TV to announce he's staying at Barca. Just my opinion of course, and if he does speak then that is exactly what City expected to happen next from what I've been told.

"Be like water ... "

 

[riley347]

To whom?

probably the infamous video..

 

[razman]

Was reported previously also would speak.. Nothing came off it

 

[cityzen81]

So that will be one of the pre-recorded videos most likely

If it is one of the pre recorded ones, were led to believe there is only one narrative and that is he wants to leave?

 

[pudge]

My hope is fading fast.

He's shite anyway

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

The two sources who claim Messi will speak are Cuatro and El Chiringuito. Both laughing stocks. Wait for further confirmation.

 

[damrider]

Possibly messi has decided to take the nuclear option of publicly demanding to leave and testing's barto's resolve?

 

[teddykgb]

How have so many of you not learned by now that parroting tweets as facts has almost no upside. “I just heard” ffs no you didn’t— it was a chancer tweet.

What do City expect him to be saying then, mate?

 

[bugsyblue]

I have to say I think it's over. If Messi was leaving then his dad would have spoken with the journalists or released a statement. If Messi is going to the trouble of speaking himself, it's to do a U-turn IMO.
