I put £5 on Arsenal overturning Milan last week. Close, but no cigar. So, based on the wild logic that my ability to predict football results is predictably out by at least one goal I’m going for a scoreline that cannot mean United will lose, whoever scores the unpredictable 1 or 2 goal(s).
My actual, rational, earth-around-the-sun-self is actually predicting a somewhat different score but for fear of throwing the universe off it’s precisely placed axis I will share that little bit of prescience with the bookie, and with the bookie alone.
