City for FA Cup
Sunday, September 7th, 2008Online sports betting maestros totesport go 12/1 about Manchester City’s chances of landing this year’s FA Cup and with a veritable war chest behind them we expect Mark Hughes’s side to go mighty close.
The extraordinary signature of Robinho from Real Madrid was just the first in a long line of mega money arrivals that will get fully underway in the January transfer window.
The club’s new Arab owners have already spoken of their desire to see the likes of Kaka, Ronaldo and Cristiano Ronaldo at Eastlands and with a reported 555 billion fortune behind them anything is possible.
Their spend, spend, spend policy obviously throws up all sorts of ethical questions that will trouble most genuine football supporters – but a little investment ourselves at 12s will make us feel better should they go all the way to Wembley.
Like all Premiership sides City will enter the competition in the 3rd round proper that gets underway at the start of the New Year and by the time they play their 4th round match we could be looking at football’s equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters.
Today’s football transfer gossip pages are awash with stories of Steven Gerrard and Michael Essien being lined up for January moves.
When the news broke that the Arabs had bought into City we considered tipping them for the Premiership title at 80/1 but even if Hughes buys a galaxy of stars it will take him several months to gel them together into a cohesive unit.
But one off cup games are a different story and offer the incoming stars the best opportunity of winning some silverware this season. Help yourself to those 12/1 footbll odds because the FA Cup is coming to Middle-Eastlands.
