    The bookies do their homework & they know that if Abel gets injured we could be f'cked! So they maybe think boro are stronger up front? Let's hope they're wrong eh?

    I bet the proprietors had lined their pockets though.

    At least one of them was a right cowboy, BetButler was owned by William Rolloson, who's the same bloke who bust the Farepak hamper company.

    Right cowboy being polite-talk for thieving bastard. Trouble is it never sticks on those sort of blokes, they must be quite clever and shrewd, it's a shame they can't turn their hand to something useful, or even honest.

    I don't recall any doom and gloom. Who? When? Where?

    I bet they were pissing themselves when the sixth goal went in last week! Everyone around me were tearing their slips up when it got past 4 & 5

    I won't use that ****ing bookies at the stadium anymore! Right ****ing scam!
    I won at the Ipswich game, didn't realise you can't collect on the same day, either next game or go online, set up an account, put money in it! Never took it out because I used a CC, thought it's easier than bank, then they tell me it has to be a Visa card & not ****ing MasterCard!
    So my £16 winnings & my £20 I'd put in I ended up winning then lost it all on multiple bets because I was pissed off with 1 ****ing team letting me down!
    Always sure things like ****ing Chelski & Utd!

    When have City done anything without causing the fans to have kittens. With the players we have got we should be walking it but we have already had a few wobbles and I am sure City been City we are going to have a few more. My heart says yes as Champions but in view of the above I think it will be via the Play-offs again.

    It's as swingy the Championship this year as being in a poker tournament when you have a lot of chips, then not, then suddenly a lot again. The cushion we have at the moment is encouraging, if we build on that in February then we could be in a positon where we absorb the loss of any key player like Hernandez or Mcgregor. I've liked the look of Burnley lately, they seem similar to us but then again when I saw them at the KC they went to pieces in the second half. Every side seems vulnerable at times but points in the bag like we have at the moment count for a lot.

    Derby's team cost circa £30m. They think it's the most expensive squad in the league.

    Ours cost £60m. We're going to piss it.
