United Betting: Rooney to score, United to win?
Odds of 2.93 (15/8) on a United win away to Arsenal this Sunday? Snap them up now.
That’s a great price on a Reds victory, regardless of the opposition or venue.
Look at it this way: we’ve scored seven goals in our last two fixtures and have already defeated the Gunners this season. And while we’re tearing it up against Hull and City, Arsenal lost 3-1 to Stoke and drew 0-0 to Aston Villa.
But perhaps the main argument for a Reds victory is the fact that we have the in-form player in Europe leading the line for us. With five goals in a week, any team that boasts Wayne Rooney has a good chance of winning.
Arsenal will be without Thomas Vermaelen who has been one of their stars this season. Sol Campbell is likely to come in and it’s a safe bet that the Gunners’ ageing defenders will not relish the prospect of Rooney running at them. All but one of the four league fixtures between these two at the Emirates have produced three goals or more. Back Over 2.5 goals at 2.0 (evens).
United’s finest performance of last season came at the Emirates – in the 3-1 Champions League semi-final win – but our League record there is not good. We lost 2-1 last year and are yet to experience a Premier League victory there. Still, we know what it is to shock the Gunners new home into silence based on that glorious European night, and the players will have that in mind on Sunday. United can score early so we’ll be backing Man Utd/Man Utd in the Half-time/Full-time market at 5.4 (9/2).
Wayne Rooney wants to reach 30 goals for the season and few would bet against him. He’s delivered in the To Score market 13 times in 23 starts so back Wazza to score on Sunday. Have a wager on Dimitar Berbatov, raring to go after sitting out Wednesday’s win, to be the first goal scorer and perhaps Paul Scholes, as he seems to have found his touch of late.
These fixtures might not produce the fireworks they used to but, with both sides in title contention, we expect a feisty game. Back Yes in the Sending Off market.
In Arsenal’s last home fixture, Bolton scored two early goals. Fabregas and co. came back to win 4-2 and Sir Alex will not underestimate Arsenal’s determination. They will fancy their chances of breaching the Reds defence so back 2-1 at 11.0 (10/1) in the Correct Score market.
Sunday’s match is a prime opportunity for the Reds to dismiss Arsenal’s title bid so that they can get on with over-taking Chelsea. Latest title odds have Arsenal at 6.2 (5/1), Chelsea at 1.69 (5/7) and United at 4.7 (7/2). A United win would make those odds very appealing.

New Glazer comments – WE have no intentions of selling Man United. Course you fucking haven’t, because you are bleeding us for every drops worth. Bastard American Leeches – they are going to have to be FORCED OUT, because they are enjoying filling their families and friends pockets with all United’s hard earned revenue. They are going to need to be starved of revenue, before the RED Knights all United loyalist fans can take over.

@EduardoDaVinci4: I agree… of the last 5 posts, 3 are betting schemes?
As far as I know, betting online on professional sports is illegal in USA, too.

@Craig Mc: How do you force them out? They are sitting with all the cards and are in no rush to sell, for as you say, they can reap united’s profits as long as there are profits… and when there are no profits, cuts will be made to ensure further profits at the costs of slashed player wages, sale of players, rise in tickets…
Any blip in profits will be fixed quickly and result in lower on-field performances or higher costs to fans… Utd is perfect business.

If I bet £5 for Anderson to be the match winner tomorrow, does that mean I’ll be a millionaire on Monday?
It says I get x bigger amount of money for what I give, depending on what I bet on. But can I bet on something which is not there? Can I bet on Aliens coming down from the Universe to take back Obertan(Where the fuck has he been lately anyway?!), Wenger to give Campbell a lapdance or Berbatov to make numerous Nani-esque summersaults after scoring the 9-5 goal?
I tell ya, betting is boring as hell when you can’t bet on whatever you want…

Betting for Betty? Better not be betting on Brown beating Babayardos barbados break, but instead bully the brutal beast being balalalhed Brownie Bat.
But can you bat-bet-bot being in a bar?
Betting for the best, betting for the beast, betting for the blubs.
Anybody wanna bet on me beating brilliant Bramble with a bat?

Good night eddy! (or should I say beddy?)
What’s up with Vidic being rumored to go for as little as 18 million pounds? That better be double that or at least 35 million pounds.

Btw, for this article http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2010/jan/30/manchester-united-premier-league , Look at the dara o briain;s own comment (30 Jan 2010, 2:19AM) where he says
“Wow. I just read back the piece. There’s a whole bit at the end which should have been removed, and was just roughwork. It must have been on the next page when I sent this in and I never noticed.
No wonder it ends so strangely.
Those last two sentences were from the “throw some ideas at the page” stage. Let’s not get rid of them now, of course, especially since this will be how it appears in the print edition, and on reflection I quite like the turn of phrase, but it does seem to batter home the point a bit.
Apologies for that. Bad journalist make booboo. Bad journalist shouldn’t file pieces at 4am after coming off-stage in Dublin.” HAHA what a fucking joker!

Skeptical but… this is from Glazers (bastards bastards bastards!) own people:
“”The cash from the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo is available for Sir Alex Ferguson to spend and it will be spent on players who are available for purchase and who the manager thinks can improve the squad, not to prove to pundits that it exists.”"
Can’t wait to see what happens to improve the squad!

Utd to win tomorrow 1-2. Who else but Rooney to win it late.

@EduardoDaVinci4: Makes it unattractive for older readers too. I personally can’t stand it.

You can watch this game free by using free live streams here: http://bit.ly/ctMRdX
It’s Polish site, just scroll down for live streams. They will be available 30 – 15 minutes before kick off.

The proper match preview is up. You can ignore this betting stuff — only folks it would interest are primarily UK residents. It’s a part of a sponsorship deal with Betfair who are also United’s betting partners.
I can tone this down, maybe in future, but that can be handled if I dilute this stuff with more frequent posting from my end.
Anyway, new post up. Mosey over to that one.

@Opti – the comment you made about the availability of the Ronaldo cash was made by none other than ‘please don’t hurt me’ David Gill. Obviously the Glazers AND United hierarchy see that a bloody great storm already brewing among supporters, is going to erupt into hurricane devestating proportions, and David Gill is trying to cover up the cracks with SOFT tissue PAPER. Davy boy – we don’t believe you!
January 31st, 2010 at 16:45
When the Glazer’s are gone there is going to be a reckoning. I suggest Mr. Gill try looking for new work now. His pink slip is just around the corner.
