We are 5th favourites for the title - which is not unusual given we were 5th last season - but in their wisdom the bookies make Manu 3rd favourities and, astonishingly, some of them make them 2nd favourites.
Is the Lukaku effect? For me it's going to be a luk stupid effect.
Clearly they know how odds work for a start. I am sure they are many other things as well thoughQuote:

Taking all into account it is not that fúcking difficult to understand. You may not agree with it of course.
I suspect they are just luring loads of Manu thickos to take a cheap punt and make a killing. They may know about odds but Mourinho was there last season, they haven't made a huge number of signings and they have an ageing core in the team. Don't know how anyone can believe they are likelier than Chelsea to win the title.Quote:

Yes - that's why it's best to ignore odds. It's why England are always shorter odds for big tournaments than should be the case.Quote:
