General price at the moment, this is probably close to value before you take the Fletcher injury which looked v serious tonight, he's the only man that score for them and even with him playing they could still go down. At the moment i have them rated worse than Wigan and just a little ahead of Villa. They could not beat a poor side with 10 men in Norwich at the weekend and looked hopeless at times, previous match they drew 2-2 with Fulham. At the moment bar Reading i would not bet them against anyone and that is before you take the Fletcher injury into consideration. 7/2 worth a bet they're going to be very close to going down esp if he's out for any length, sure to be trading shorter soon.

Remaining fixtures

Man U (H)
Chelsea (A)
Newcastle (A)
Everton (H)
Aston Villa (A)
Stoke City (H)
Southampton (H)
Tottenham (A)

I was thinking that also last weekend when they failed to beat 10 man Norwich (AT HOME). I didnt check the price though.  Good bet.

Sorry i knew they were at home v Norwich, just worded what i trying to say poorly. I thought it was a shocking performance last weekend from them and if you look at the important stats from that game which imo are shots and corners it was 15 v 9 in terms of shots and 6 v 9 in Norwich's favour in terms of corners despite Norwich playing with 10 men for more than an hour. If United can start the ball rolling next weekend this will go very close.

Just been lookin at this too, crackin bet imo, into around 11/4 now and thats still value, could and prob will lose their next 4 games and will be trading a hell of a lot shorter

Fletcher out, Cattermole out, horrible run of fixtures left, not looking good

This will be less than 2/1 by the end of next weekend, Man Utd at home and then Chelsea away are the next 2 fixtures
By:

If United do the biz his weekend, they won't get anything away to Chelsea and Newcastle for me should win too. The only thing i will say when you look at their squad they should be better than they are but the way they've played this season has been pathetic and they nearly deserve to go down. Cattermole for me makes no difference he's just work horse, Sessegnon is capable of being so much better,he'll be the man that will keep them up if they are to stay up imo. Anyway as you lads said United win this weekend to get the ball rolling and the fun started.

Not sure what to make of the Di Canio appointment, don,t think its one for the pc brigade anywayLaugh

Di Canio seems to wear his heart on his sleeve, but he is doing ok. Sunderland won again today, so this bet by Rocket looks shaky. In fact to me it always seemed a bit of a dodgy bet, as enen as far back as March 23rd, it did look as though QPR.,(to my cost), were going south, with Reading so you were backing Sunderland to get that third relegation spot. Well in this situation anything can happen, and usually does. So in fairness rocket you didn't do the homework here. Out to 28 on here now. This third spot looks to be between Wigan and Villa now. Sunderland for 'relegation backers' need a small miracle, I will not be on my knees praying for that miracle though as I have a Laddies 7/1 Villa voucher from early August. I hope Wigan don't do their annual houdini act in 2013.........

Bloody Martin O'Neill anyway, that's the 2nd time in as many seasons that O'Neill/Sunderland has done me.

I backed them to go down last season at 12/1, which was looking good until they sacked Steve Bruce and brought in Martin O'Neill, who then led the club to 13 points from their next 6 games, including beating Man City 1-0 on New Years Day.

Then this season he gets himself sacked when looking good for the drop and the new man saves them

The win at Newcastle was the key match in the end. If they had lost that they would have been mired in it down the relegation. As it turns out, they didn't, got great momentum from it and the rest is history

Roll on next year

DBLaugh, Di Canio was an inspired appointment alright, yeah looks no hope for this bet as Wigan in particular look brutal.
By:

When: 24 Apr 13 10:17
I would not be surprised to see Wigan stay up i think they're an ok side, they have a game in hand over Villa, better goal difference and i think they can certainly take something from the West Brom and Swansea game and maybe Spurs too. It will probably come down to the Villa match at home for them, might have something on the 9/4 Villa to go down.

Sunderland bet is gone.

If you think it's "gone" you can currently lay them at 42 for e58 to be relegated.

What if Wigan are beaten tomorrow night ?

When: 07 May 13 10:43
Genuinely think you are unlucky if the bet doesnt come in. Watching last night was one of the worst games of football i have ever seen. 2 truly terrible teams who are completely dependent on set pieces to score. Neither showed any ability to create an opening of any sort. Desperate stuff

If anything was confirmed last night, its how bad McClean and Walters are as creative players.

I think Wigan win tonight, i think they're a decent side against a michu less Swansea, it's not a game to get involved in (Certainly not in the match market) but imo as juicy as the Swans price looks i think they're not that near a value bet when you adjust for motivation and Michu.

Something unrelated about the bet and touching on Joe's point but would you be wise in the head forking out £500 to go to watch that Stoke side or even Sunderland. I know as a supporter it's thick and thin but that kind of football Stoke have played for 6 or 7 seasons under Pulis would really test you.
