I didnt know the result til seeing the highlights on RTE so happy days watching him score!

Yeah was a great price with them considering he was playing just behind Toni and not in his usual position on the left.

Went for Man U to win and Arsenal to win 2-0.

They could win by any number of scorelines, what makes you think 2-0? No greater chance of that than 1-0, 2-1, 3-1, 3-0, 3-2 etc.

Never understood the reasoning behind scoreline bets.

2-0 would be more likely than 3-0 or 3-2!
Correct score betting is not necessarily a mug's bet.
If he backed it at the best available odds it may have been a value bet.

Simple. Because I thought they would win 2-0.

Considering their huge superiority to City in the first game I think 11-4 on Hamburg (PP) is a decent price.

Arsenal are even money to draw or win at Old Trafford on Wednesday with expekt. That strikes me as reasonable. They really have been playing well recently. The only question mark is the fact that Arshavin can't play.
What do you guys think? Worth a cheeky punt?

I think so, they've been playing very well.

Also, Chelsea at 4-1 to beat Barca looks like value to me.
