Man Utd fail to turn up

Hope followers of the Football Trader had a profitable evening following the hottest tipster on the internet.

AC Milan were advised to win in 90 minutes (2.42) pre-match with Kaka and Gattuso highlighted as the key men.

With 17 minutes left and the score at 2-0 an in running trade of over 2.5 goals was also advised (1.85).

The Liverpool v AC Milan final was also called a number of days ago. The inside news is that Milan will go off as favourires to lift the trophy, but I think the market makers have that wrong and strongly fancy Liverpool to get "their" trophy back.

If you read through any of the older posts on this blog you will see that I have been profiting from opposing Man Utd - especially away from home.

United have been running on empty for a number of weeks and but for a horrendous goalkeeping error by Everton's Ian Turner they could be staring down the barrell of a trophyless season.

I think a 5 point cushion will be enough to see them home in the Premiership, but their performance tonight was woeful.

Don't be surprised to see Fergie back in for Owen Hargreaves very shortly as United need more drive and energy in the central midfield areas. Michael Carrick is a decent player when given plenty of time or in deep poistions, but he doesn't offer enough at the highest level to dominate against the best teams.
