Couldn't help myself, had to put a cheeky 20 on UTD to win the league at 50/ 1. You never know!
23 Oct 2025 13:08:17
A fool and his money, etc. ?.
{Ed025's Note - maybe the dont have any grids to throw his money down where Jimbo lives Fizz.. :)
23 Oct 2025 15:40:04
Total over reaction to beating the scousers! Might as well given the money to charity…some seem to forget it’s taken a year to win 2 games on the spin now they think we might win the next 20 odd… delusion rules.

Thanks for the input, Maze.
23 Oct 2025 19:10:17
What was meant as a bit of fun, abruptly turns into troll being a troll again.
Do us all favour Maze and just leave the site.
Do you have a charity that funds you staying off this site, because I'll send 200 sheets to keep you away forever.
Fizz,
20 sheets isn't exactly going to send my kids hungry and to be quite frank, I have been positive about this united team for some time.
Also, there is the fact there is a well known factor called 'cashout'.
As I said, a bit of fun.

Ed, ever hear the saying that comment didn't age well? Be interesting to see what happens between now and Christmas and sure as rubbish we ain't adding people in January that slow out progression, only enhancing it.
Not to say I agree with Jimbo, but I've been on earth long enough to know no one knows the future no matter how short the odds, there are odds because anything is possible until its logically impossible.
I just heard that my mate a liverpool fan won 10k on Sunday as even he couldn't resist 100 quid at 100 to 1 that United beat Liverpool at Anfield. From the horses mouth becaue he jumped straight on a plane to Dubai with his winnings to visit me and we are ow sat having a few beers.
{Ed025's Note - its not impossible CO, but neither is aliens invading earth mate, i feel both scenario,s have the same chance myself :) but enjoy your bevy with your friend and call in on ED001 and treat him to a milk shake..
23 Oct 2025 21:50:53
Duly book marked ?.
23 Oct 2025 23:49:06
Captain, can you imagine the meltdown if you have to pull that bookmark out!
24 Oct 2025 08:22:29
Jimbobred, as you said, "a bit of fun". Did you miss the laughing smile thing on my post? Getting a tad serious over a 'bit of fun', aren't you?
BTW, I sincerely hope that you win the bet and I agree re Maze.
24 Oct 2025 10:02:44
United were never 100/ 1 to win at Anfield on Sunday, we were about 4/ 1 max in places.
Obviously agree about Maze.
24 Oct 2025 11:02:13
All good Fizz, we always align. The knob just annoyed me with his constant dribble of negativity and I dragged you into it, wasn't necessarily aimed at you ?.
24 Oct 2025 11:05:10
This place lol.
TBH, I almost put 20 on United to win the league before the season began, but the odds weren't as crazy as I imagined they'd be. Got a takeaway instead.
24 Oct 2025 11:22:36
Might have been with a friend GDS2? No bookie would have given 100/ 1! What price Liverpool? 1/ 50? ! ?.
24 Oct 2025 14:31:23
Actually they did. It was either a Bet365 or PaddPowrt new customer bet. Can’t recall which i saw, but as I am already a “customer” of both I couldn’t do it.
24 Oct 2025 13:51:02
Ed025. If you think there is a 'possibility ' of an alien invasion then Jimbob is the security guard at the asylum you will be locked away in.
Love your enthusiasm, Jimbob. Inspiring is your faith.
{Ed025's Note - never say never MB, but certainly not this season mate..
24 Oct 2025 16:34:27
i like the bet at those odds, why not:)
24 Oct 2025 17:28:13
How about around 4/ 1 to qualify for the Champions League? With a light schedule maybe it's become more likely. Does anyone think Leicester City would have won the league if they'd also been in the ECL?
{Ed025's Note - good point mate..
24 Oct 2025 17:56:26
I also have them to finish top 4 from start of the season, that has a bit more on it though.
Everyone get on the bet lads, it's a show in.
24 Oct 2025 18:57:43
My whole reasoning for predicting top 4 was due to no Europe to be honest. Now being out of the the League Cup too, even less games ? I also think Chelsea who might be most likely predicted to get top 4 will gas out due to world club cup.
I must admit, AFCON was not a consideration and the link up of Mbuemo and Diallo will be missed. Not sure what players other teams will lose?! I genuinely think top 4 is achievable and after tomorrow we’ll have a clearer idea of what this team is about.
24 Oct 2025 20:39:04
Ed025. I will say 'never' when it is down to an 'alien invasion' and clearly you have never actually thought things through in that respect. Maybe you should spend some time on the sister site 'Talk Sense' mainly hosted by the sagely Ed033 with the padawan Ed032 along side. That is where the 'real' truth lies.
You can not have a pressurised system next to a vacuum without a barrier. The globe bs we are fed is a lie. This is the wrong site for discussion on this matter though.
Bcak to football. We have the best chance of maki ng a major impact on the standing of things this season and beyond than we have ever had since Fergie abandoned ship.
Amorim has held fast on his beliefs on how to do things. He has stated change can happen in tactics once the players know the base of h8s logic. He will not change his base stance.
I think the players have grasped his logical sense and a greater game scope will be played. I mean, we beat the 'pool in their house. No better place to start the switcheroo turnaround.
Yes we have a hole in strength in MF and the defense needs work, but. You can not deny the barebones of a formidable force is being assembled. Even the old guys out perform when the recipe excites.
{Ed025's Note - You may like to visit "Specsavers" MB, i believe they are having a sale on rose tinted glasses mate, great result against Liverpool and at times you look decent i must say but it was only a couple of weeks ago that Grimsby put you to the sword, nothing wrong with bigging up your team though but it really does need a hint of realism imo..
25 Oct 2025 05:48:31
I did ask my pal what the site was an actually it was an American sports book spread bet where other punters offer their own odds, he average around 100 to 1 across various bet offers, something to do woth trends tipping odds, I don't understand it tbh as I don't gamble usually, I did have a punt on utd each season but then I always do. I wasn't actually saying it for bravado more for the point of how everyone put there beleived we were going to get walloped hence I think the odds were long for that reason.
Im not getting carried away I know Brighton are a bogey team for us at OT even so this ones going to tell us a lot about what we might expect. It is just nice to have a bit of optimism for a change
Can I say though it does grind my gears that even after a great win and significant psychological boost, the negativity from a few (or probably 1 serious split personality) makes me wonder why they post at all.
25 Oct 2025 08:03:42
Odds reduced to 7/ 2 to get Top 4.
Only two teams seem consistently better than the rest at the moment.
Bunfight for the other places.
Bring in a midfielder in January and who knows where we’ll finish….
25 Oct 2025 09:19:57
Haha. You're cruel going there, Ed025 mate. There is discussion to be had about that game being different if we didn't have a clown in goal, though.
{Ed025's Note - it was not all down to the keeper though MB, you are very up and down and can be great one week and abysmal the next, i personally dont know if Amorim knows his best team yet mate and although you have some really good players you also have some absolute dross, it will take time until you are a force again but its something i look forward to..
