Well that’s a headline that should get my SEO stats racing. But alas for Mrs Blogger I don’t mean in that way. I’m referring to the (as usual) ever so slightly controversial advert from Patrick Power when someone bets against their own team. In my last post I showed the full extent of my  football knowledge and expertise that Cassini from green all over so admires by predicting

Not that important anyway City will thrash a poor QPR team and United will struggle against Sunderland. I hope I’m proved horribly wrong.

I didn’t watch the first half of the game as I couldn’t really be arsed to listen to Niial Quinn (doing the decorating instead- how middle aged is that?) but promised myself I would watch the later parts of the action and was lured downstairs by my mobile going bonkers. Not really wanting to believe what I was seeing I decided to buy some more insurance after my previous dabble and placed the following when the score was 2-1 to QPR. I thought of it as a way of buying the title for United. As you can see I had two lots. (Apologies the type is so small but it eases the pain!- just click to enlarge)

The rest is obviously history and I feel like the money is unclean. I was lucky enough to go to Barcelona for the Champions league final in 1999 and remember afterwards saying to the lads “wow can you imagine how these German fans feel?”. Yesterday I knew- what goes around comes around and all that.

Elsewhere over the weekend it was another cracking weekend for Steve Palmer of the Racing Post who managed to pick the first and second- As usual I got up nice and early on Wednesday morning and got the value price but it says something about my state of mind that I couldn’t get and still cant get excited about a 50/1 winner- I could barely wimper a kooooooch.
