Past the post, I am totally totally confident.

I bet the extra publicity made him more money than he lost,bookies aren't stupid.

Exactly. The guy looks stupid but he isn't. Still, he'll be upset his team still went trophyless.

Watched that in a pub full of rags. It was sickening, one of the lowest points of the season as I was sure that result had ended our chances of winning.

Nice to be wrong.

Arrogant twat...... "read my lips, past the post". Well Freddie my boy they moved the post another half furlong and your horse got caught and overtaken in the sprint for the finish. Typical red balloon, like the lady in red at Sunderland prematurely celebrating United's glorious 14 second title reign.

to paraphrase Chris De Burgh (only once mind

"The lady in red
Is dancing with glee (isn't she)
What's that she hears?
It's goal for City
Oh no it couldn't be
Well I never laughed
So hard I did at that sight
I never will forget
Phil Jones face that night.
I never will forget
That your team is shite
The lady in red..."

I've said this before, Done will have made plenty with this ruse. Betting, like any business requires an abundance of customers, which this would generate because of the fierce interest and rivalry involved. It may at first appear that he's blown a mint and looks a dick, but the value of free advertising in this way is enormous; to get quotes on TV and the press/internet was well worth the announcement.
As you said, bookies are not stupid.
