Bet 48: £100 MANCHESTER UTD to beat Manchester City @ 2/7

Utd will not only want to honour the victims of the Munich disaster with a win, but will want revenge for August's shock defeat to City. There's also the fact that a win will put Utd back on top of the league and they've had 18 successive home victories coming into today's game.

Running balance: £1,140.44

Post script: What can I say. The first chapter of very forgetable day, and Manchester City win at Old Trafford for the first time in my life time (31 years and sadly counting). At 0-1, I was quite comfortable, but at 0-2 I knew it was all over. City are very strong defensively and United had very few attacking options on the bench. Hargreaves, Park, Carrick, some youth right back and a goalie. Are you telling me that a club the size of Manchester Utd have no strikers aside from Saha, Rooney and Tevez? Where the hell are all the youth stars of the future?

No problem, Chelsea will beat Liverpool and I'll be only slightly down on the day.............
