In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
jesus Im having a nightmare on whatever Im backing!!!
Still going with this. Put the £1.55 on Cavan anytime goalscorer, won £3.56. Put £3.56 on Italy, returned £11.24!Got bored so started putting little bets on in play. Had 30p on Over 2.5 Greek corners. Returned 55p. Put 55p on Over 2.5 Mach Goals. Returned 1.55
Also had a £20 single on Colombia. Returned £38.50 which has gone on Uruguay @ 1.5

It feels good after dumping about £150 on fecking Uruguay earlier
urugauy cost me a shit ton of money today
I think a lot of people can say that. A guy in the thread earlier had 500 on a Colombia/Uruguay double IIRC.
Gone for total 5 and 6 goals for CIV-JPN, couldn't really decide who will win the game
I'm lucky that I just bet on colombia separately with half time full time win but uruguay cost me on parlays and the fact that costa rica scored!
Over 2.5 goals in France - Honduras game and over 1.5 goals in the Switzerland - Ecuador game.
2/1
Been loads of goals so far, so why not?
2/1

So close
4 minutes. They even played for six.
My bookie continues to offer this, so, we're gonna take it again for Switzerland - Ecuador match @ 2.00. bet365 has it offered too.
Usually that's just one long(ish) foul. Six subs gets you three added minutes, goal or two, and won't even need a foul.
For today I've put £5 on the following:
France win 1/3
Over 3.5 cards France vs Honduras 4/6
Over 2.5 goals and BTTS Argentina vs Bosnia 7/5
Drmic anytime 13/8
£5 returns £70
France win 1/3
Over 3.5 cards France vs Honduras 4/6
Over 2.5 goals and BTTS Argentina vs Bosnia 7/5
Drmic anytime 13/8
£5 returns £70
soooo close! Had IC for 3-1 win last night @ 100/1!! That deflected Drogba shot had me leaping out of the chair 
Need a Swiss win to get a few quid back (FINALLY)!!
Heard this morning now that Higuain is a big doubt for later on have him as TS & Germany to win bet!! Fingers crossed he makes it!!

Was too slow putting £60 on Ivory Coast in the "First to 7 corners" market on Betfair. They were 33-1 while sat on 5 corners with 10 minutes to go, the market got took down in the 5 seconds or so it was confirming the bet.
looking at the same pretty much, maybe argentina (-2).... not sure though
Looking at the BTTS and win markets for the next game. Swiss at 5.5 & Ecuador 7's ... Is the weather going to hinder the Swiss as much as I think?
I'll be on BTTS, maybe even BTTS+over 2.5 goals.
There does seem to be a good market though for BTTS and Team X to win.
Agree with you there mate, although the fact there hasn't been a draw might lead me to leave the result for this one. Should be a tight affair
Very true, but if England vs Italy doesn't end in a draw - there is hope that no game ever again will be a draw!
Uruguay really killed me last night but I did get a price boost from ladbrokes for Eng v Ita both to score at 2/1 which was great value....stuck £100 on that
I had the same for all of yesterdays games, all had 4+ mins except for Colombia game which had 6 subs and two goals but only had 3 mins added on
What other games did you do for that market?Benzema and Messi both to score in French and Argentine wins is 4/1.
Tempting me...
Tempting me...
Had a good World Cup so far and cashed out a big treble in the Uruguay match around 30 seconds before the equaliser.
Been on over 2.5 goals in nearly every game as its often around 6/4.

Had an incredible day yesterday, started with £100, put it on Columbia -1. Then started putting on between £100 and £200 on btts to score in Italy and Japan game as singles, along with in play bets on goals and corners. Finished at £800.
Just those mentioned, England - Italy and Ivory Coast - Japan. Haven't noticed the market before. Too bad about Columbia - Greece match, I feel ref could've easily elongate the match more.I had the same for all of yesterdays games, all had 4+ mins except for Colombia game which had 6 subs and two goals but only had 3 mins added on
It was not a close game, maybe that's one of the reasons.
Is it me or is the coral site just incredibly glitchy and generally just terrible
Anyway todays bets I have:
Either valencia to score at 4/1
And
Drmic to score and swiss to win at 5/1

Switzerland seem pretty good value to me at over evens. Something that I fancy is 2/1 with Skybet on them to win either 1-0,2-0 or 2-1. I can't see them winning another scoreline.
Yeah I just seen it yesterday and all the games apart from the Colombia one have had 4+ mins I think.
I agree the fact it was 2-0 was the reason but its stupid seen as Holland Spain was 5-1 and they added 4 mins lol
Market is all on luck really. England-Italy was a banker imo in the conditions of Manaus there was always going to be a lot of added time
Decided to try this too, see how far I can get with the pennies left in my account! Makes the games a bit more interesting.Still going with this. Put the £1.55 on Cavan anytime goalscorer, won £3.56. Put £3.56 on Italy, returned £11.24!
Decent run this
I've got a 1-1 and 1-2 for Switzerland-Ecuador. Having an absolute nightmare at this WC thus far....
Switzerland plus 1 and France -1 comes in at just over evens
SWI-ECR over 1.5 match goals
ARG-BOS over 2.5 match goals
FRA-HON over 2 goal line
comes in @ 2/1
ARG-BOS over 2.5 match goals
FRA-HON over 2 goal line
comes in @ 2/1
I think the Swiss will take this. I like their team, that forward line is dangerous!
Regretting backing the Swiss now, can see this being the first draw
Yeah,I backed out last minute
