Lol, their odds are getting shorter and shorter because City fans are putting money on looking for insurance. The shortening odds are then freaking City fans out. There is a City/United supporters food bank that the money would be better going to, but I'll let everyone do their own thing.I put my bet on the Rags to mitigate the tiny risk this goes wrong. Worse case is I get £10k compensation. I have every confidence that I won’t be getting it.
Us winning it in that fashion was Karma. Now God has been confirmed to be a blue this is just his way of toying with the red cunts.I pray you're right mate but karma is a funny thing and the universe may just think it to be highly amusing to repeat the scenario with us on the receiving end.
I think that run-in has spooked City fans more than United. The 8 points included a six pointer!It's decades of that very glum existence that has created that mentality lol.
I remember in 2012 when the rags went 8 points clear with only 6 games to go. They were all over social media gloating and mocking us, celebrating winning the title. I answered a few of them by saying they better pray they don't blow it now as they'll never live it down. Absolutely zero chance of that was the reply. We all know what happened next
Win their game in hand and the rags are in exactly the same position. 8 points behind with 6 games to go. They are considered to have no chance, not against a highly successful squad motivated by the best manager in world football, exactly as it was for us facing Ferguson's United back then. The way it is panning out is spookily similar, that's why those of us with a nervous disposition and a bit superstitious worry.

So, one more point and we're guaranteed CL football next season (barring a massive swing in goal differences). What's not to like!View attachment 14133
If we get 3 wins United need maximum points.
Not to mention that our final six games were: West Brom, Norwich, Wolves, United, Newcastle, QPR. Newcastle had a decent season that year, but everyone else was either mid-table or relegation fodder, and ultimately it came down to that head to head where Ferguson bottled his team selection. Theirs is Leeds, Liverpool, Villa, Leicester, Fulham and Wolves. Two of their biggest rivals, two in the top six, no head to head. It's night and day.Not ‘exactly the same position?’
we still had to play them so as long as we beat them - which we obviously did(thanks Vinnie!’it would then be 5 points with 5 to play
they do not have that advantage !
we have the better goal difference!
In 2012 they didn’t!
In 2012 they we a better team and we was in a title chase with the best two teams in the country competing with each other
this season they are not at our level
it’s done
even Bobby Ewing could not come back from this one !
I considered hedging that risk but didn’t see it as likely. That won’t happen now. It’s 99% certain to be us and 1% possible it’s the Rags. At 200-1 it seemed good value. It’s not a 1 in 200 year event...And If Leicester win it, double whammy! ;)
Blood money mate, tainted.Am I the only blue who this ‘betting on Utd to win money would soften the blow ?’
I would not want to win one penny if it meant they had to win a football match !
I would even rather see us relagated than have to rely on them bast*rds to see us safe by winning their game
maybe it’s just me ?
but winning money due to their success is just not right !
