Bookies don’t seem to have reacted too much to the news that City could be under full strength for the Derby. Assuming the CL tie is still alive after the first leg then I can see Sane, KDB, Sterling, Walker getting the day off and Toure, Danilo, Bernardo + ANOther getting a run out. Still a decent side but one that probably puts us even with a full-strength Maureen Mob. Would still expect City to be favourites but more touch over odds against than odds on at present.
Is this a good lay to back spot. Possibly still a decent lay because even at full strength, Maureen will park the bus and do anything to try and stop us winning the title that day.
I didn't see the fat man eats pie bet at 8/1. Would've lumped on as they're clearly decent odds. Would've had it in a double with fat man eats another pie.
I always enjoy reading this thread. City fans don't enjoy it when pulled up on negatives, but loves positives. Let's be right, anyone would sell out against Barca, but only City could sell 50% of their tickets for a CL match.
Clearly a poor attempt at a wind up/ fishing post. I''m a part timer when it comes to CL but with it being half term, fancied the Barca game. This was sold out 2 weeks ago. I guess there are hospitality tickets left (maybe even 50% of them 😀) so Mcmanaman can still have a field day if he wants.
If you want to wind city fans up, then point to our Arsenal like exodus's10 mins before the end of each game. The last 2 games have been evenly poised at 1-1 with 10 minutes left but that doesn't stop the north stand (they are the worst) heading off home early to avoid tram queue's/ traffic queue's or whatever. I really struggle to understand what possesses these people to buy tickets in the first place.
Alistair Brownlee now just 8/1 to win Sports Personality of the Year. Was 80/1 this morning.
Become quite a competitive ehat really
Alastair Brownlee now generally around 5/1, even 7/2 in one spot.
Be the best thing ever if he won SPOTY. It's entirely possible, too. No disrespect to Mr Murrray or Mo, but Alastair would be something of a game changer.
Could you imagine if he'd just run past his brother and finished ahead of him?
It was lovely, but it wasn't Derek Redmond and his dad.
I'm a bit puzzled about the whole adulation Brownlee is getting for this gesture to be honest.
Wouldn't virtually everyone stop and help their brother in that spot?
If he'd done it for a competitor from another country, for sure, yes, give him all the fair play awards available.
But helping your brother out who is obvious distress, not so much IMO.
He did sacrifice winning the world championship to help him though having completed 9/10ths of a triathlon.
I'm not sure I would carry you for 500M in the same situation..
Don't think Ali was in contention for the title. Jonny needed the win to win it.
I just love Pep's hidden messages behind his quotes. I'm maybe reading too much into it but
1) Saying that Bravo's debut was the best goalkeeping performance he had ever seen translated to
"I'm not going to slate him in public so stop asking stupid questions"
2) Saying Bournemouth were the best team we played this season translates to
"Do one Jose....lol"
But best of all
3) Telling Yaya's agent to apologise or he's never playing for him again translates to
"touché Yaya"
The Yaya situation though is pretty sad. He pretty much won us our second Prem title and scored crucial goals all through his time here. He did a great impression of a lazy player and was never going to fit in with Pep's plans. I know he's probably still the best paid player on the books and i'm sure he'll be ok but it would be terrible if he is remembered more for his last season at the club rather than his previous 6.
Nicholas Mahut was 2 sets up when Kohlschreiber retired. Most firms will pay him out as the winner as 1 set was completed.
Thanks once again for the tip, Hector. Got completely buried today, this was my only hope but alas, billy and everyday seem to be the only firms to void this after he was a clear winner 2 sets up leading the third.
Perhaps that is a reason they are responsible for some of the better prices?
Sky sports showing true MUFC bias, trying desperately to get Kun banned for the derby.
Looks a bit naughty to me and have seen reds given for similar, but a retrospective ban?? It was 5 yards from the ref who was looking straight at them both. Will be a shocking admission if the ref says he couldn't see it at the time.
Really liking what I'm seeing so far. Been on my hols so Stoke was the first game I got to see properly.
Sterling looks re invented. Would have liked to see him try and score that last one there. Could you imagine Kun passing there?
Silva seems to really have bought into the pep way and he made a load of tackles. Think he will give Pep a selection headache when Gundogan returns.
The whole "wide central defenders/full backs in midfield when attacking is fascinating to watch. Not sure it is a flawless system but we'll see...
As for the Hart situation, he was dead to me when he blanked my mates daughter last season when she asked him for an autograph. Not sure he is the 'jobber' that some people think he is but I won't shed any tears when he leaves. Hopefully the Barca guy can do a job.
With rain possibly in play, don't think you can back Nico from pole. Pretty sure he isn't 13/8 with a bone dry forecast.
If we assume it's a two horse race, Hamilton at 5/4 feels more out of line. I remember Lewis being much quicker at this track, he can pass him on the first bend or through strategy. With rain, he should easily beat Nico. Only thing is, it isn't a 2 horse race and I have no idea how other teams will run in race mode.
