    Just put £100k on us to win or draw. Easy £48,000. Also sticking £200k on Arsenal to win tonight, easy £22,000.
    £70,000 in 2 days.
    Life is awesome.

    Love how City who have been as bad as we have, get all the love and people tip them to beat us by a huge margin because they are just so amazingly good and results do not matter.

    Will be a close game. Could go either way. I say 2-1 United.
    They haven't been as bad as we have tbh.

    I am taking it easy, £1m on Arsenal tonight and will see tomorrow. Made good money on Sunday, especially Pedro to score first and Chelsea to win both halves to nil @ 15/1 I got at a private bookie. Put £50k on it, wish I had put more.

    They've been very similar. Outplayed Everton but only got a draw (like us v Stoke), got completely outplayed by Spurs who would have also made it 3-0 if they had converted penalty which would not be far off our 4-0 at Bridge, they also got their 4-0 defeat at Barcelona. They had a better start but they've been as poor as us in the last month or so - basically since the game at Old Trafford really.

    We were crap against Chelsea and very poor against Watford. Leicester performance was very good and Stoke was probably even better but ended with a freak result. We haven't even been that abysmal and City have not been better lately.

    Arsenal HT 1-0.
    £44,000 incoming. I regret not putting £500,000 on Arsenal. Sigh.

    Personally, I'd always want us to play our best team against City. No matter the importance of said game, I always want to beat them however little faith I have in us doing so.

    I have much more since I have expanded my company. Also, I am using pounds for simplicity and most my betting accounts are in pounds.

    I'm expecting a complete shambles and one of the worst losses in recent memory....so I surely can't be disappointed?

    After the heavy defeat we desperately need a win here. I'm confident so i put a tenner on us.

    Hopefully we'll see Mata in the starting lineup, maybe Mkhitaryan is ready to go and Martial would be nice too. This time we should attack, zero interest in seeing us sitting deep, soaking up pressure and trying to hit them on the break. It's a home game ffs, need to show them who's boss. Blow them the feck away, pls.

    Not even going to watch. I know we are supposed to support the club at all times, through thick and thin but it's affecting my mood. We are fecking depressing and I get miserable when I think about football.

    Just play 442 with Rash and Martial up top - win or lose. I'm curious about how that would work.

    Got to be a whole host of changes, but due to injuries Smalling and Blind will likely have to play at Centre Back. For the record, I still don't think Smalling is shit, he had a bit of a mare against Chelsea, but so did seven or eight of our lads to be honest... Valencia is probably the only player who started the game that is getting rested and not dropped.

    Romero
    Darmian Smalling Blind Shaw
    Carrick Herrera
    Mkhitaryan Mata Young
    Rashford​

    Assuming Rooney doesn't make it, if he's fit then he might start up front.

    Hoping for our strongest team. Do not understand the mentality of people who only turn up for league and the latter stages of CL. A major trophy is a major trophy and I would love to continue the feeling of winning again. Picking and choosing the competitions you want to win is a fallacy. All top sides either go deep or at the very least attempt to go deep in all competitions. Easier thing in the world to say that you don't care about winning X or Y, when the odds of your ever succeeding were slim anyway.

    Just placed a bet! Put my husband on Manchester United to win! It is basically win win situation! If we win I get another husband, if we lose, I'm freeee!

    P.S. Is there a Jose's press conference? Wondering if he wants to win this game (and Pep), and keep everybody quiet, at least for a day or two, or maybe he does not care about the Cup.

    The whole world will stop to watch this game.

    The whole world will witness us bury the Guardiola myth for good.

    3-0 United win, I'm feeling it.

    Whatever happens, just don't draw this game. Either we progress or get knocked out. But with that being said, it will most likely end up as a draw game. Mou won't wanna lose to Pep a second time in the league and with City's 6 match winless run and Kompany's big talk, you would expect them to take this game seriously.

    Fully expect city to steamroll us. Anything else will be a miracle.

    Bailly out 2 months, just came out from a 4-0 drubbing.. Defense was horrible.

    Sad state of affairs under mou.
