This - I've only got 2,000 points so no chance of going, had I of gone I'd have spent £150 easy on just tickets and travel, therefore that's getting whacked on De Jong as first goal scorer at odds of around 35/1.

It's astonishing how some people are prepared to throw away huge sums of money, just like that. Especially to a bookmaker. You must be loaded mate. Either that or incredibly stupid (no offence!). It would indeed be awesome though if Nige bagged the winner.

I'm not loaded by any means, but it's money that was set aside in the hope I'd somehow be able to get a ticket. Still, NDJ scoring, city winning and a return of just under 5,500 would be pretty sweet.<br /><br />-- Sun Apr 24, 2011 10:24 am --<br /><br />

odds of 35/1 are fucking appaling.<br /><br />-- Sun Apr 24, 2011 11:59 am --<br /><br />Oh and I'd love nothing better than a Balotelli free kick to win us the cup.
 
a de jong goal would be quality but i would love balotelli to score the winner after everyone has slagged him off and written him off it would be great.
 
Balo and Dzeko and ....wait for it......wait for it........................MANCINI!!

Find me better mate - just using the odds against Blackburn as a benchmark.

I'm not saying that other bookies will be offering better odds. I'm saying that the odds do not reflect the chances of de jong actually scoring first.
