So far, so bad but there's still hope. Arsenal need just a point v Sunderland on Wednesday to secure 3rd spot leaving Man United with nothing to play for next Sunday. A point of course would take Sunderland out of the mix so we need Arsenal to win and if Sunderland continue to play with 3 up front that shouldn't be a problem. The bookies still think we have a chance making Man United favourites to win on Sunday at generous odds of 21/20. If they thought they were having a good go at it that price would have been 1/2 or 2/5 for sure.
Over at BetVictor the current relegation odds are now: 1/6 Hull 5/1 Newcastle 12/1 Sunderland - See more at: http://www.themag.co.uk/2015/05/big...wcastle-and-sunderland/?#sthash.TxBV5NPr.dpuf Oh dear
Maybe we should stop jinxing ourselves with these dumb threads of "we will beat burnley" and this one.
In my scenario Sunderland will lose on Wed and Sun. Newcastle will draw and we will win. All 3 teams will finish on equal points and Newcastle will be relegated on goal difference. I have decided to fly over for the game as I have never attended a City v United match. Missed out on the big one in 1949 after queuing for a ticket for hours. It will be a day to remember whatever the outcome.
Let's hope your attendance will witness a better outcome than 1949. It will certainly be the headlines next Sunday if we can pull it off. Have a safe trip over.
We won't get relegated, the premier league won't allow a club like ourselves to go down whilst some piss pot club like Bournemouth who can't even fill a 10k shed come up.
Manchester Evening News experts views on Hull City v Man United - 'I would not rule out a Hull win at the KC Stadium'. http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spor...an-manchester-united-newcastle-favour-9289913 For what it's worth Man United's price is still drifting with the bookies, now 6/5 to win. If Arsenal win tomorrow night expect that price will drift further. For idiots like me this price looks attractive and the draw to cover some of the bet. If I lose I'm stuck with another season with my team in the Premier league. I can live with that.
Newcastle wont beat West Ham so we just have to win. Sunderland will be sweating after they get beat tonight.
