Feel physically sick. Had Hibernian, Celtic, Liverpool and Man Utd to win, £30 stake with £210 and a few pennies return.
Then that. What the fuck was that!?!?!?! 5-5? How can Man United concede 5 goals to West Brom? Fucking West Brom! Look at them. They haven't scored 5 goals all season. The shock at the equaliser caused me to get a random nose bleed. I needed that money for my holiday in Bulgaria. Fucccckkkkkkkk!
There must be some mistake, how could Alex Ferguson's runaway champions concede 5 goals to that calibre of opponent?! It defies belief.

I know the feeling

You should have bet on West Brom or the draw once they'd pulled it back to 5-4 to cover your loss.

I wasn't watching live. Nobody in the world would have called that at the start of the game. In fact, that's the match I felt most confident about.
I was at the shops with two mates earlier, and we stopped in at Ladbrokes for a £1 accumulator. Went for home, home, away, draw (repeat) regardless of teams. Would have won £16,000 but managed to correctly call Norwich beating Man City and Man Utd drawing. By luck. No way I'd have willingly made those bets. Some of the teams like Fulham winning screwed up the 16k one though.

Fair enough. Where you going in Bulgaria mate?

At least Goofle is happy anyway.

Well, I am so glad that Sunderlands season is over.

Sunny Beach. Going with 3 of my pals, so should be a totally awesome week.
Aye, Arsenal in the Champions League for the 16th consecutive year, I think.

Enjoy it man, that was my first holiday abroad, was before Bulgaria became a part of the EU so it was dirt cheap as well. Weather is good and the beer is cheap.

Dodgy place though, got chased by a taxi driver with a knife and had my hotel room 'burgled' on three occasions by the cleaner, I made friends with some Germans who said the same happened to them so watch your stuff. Lots of poor people and pickpockets around as well.
