What is your evidence of him failing a medical?
It's my understanding that he never went to Manchester so unless I'm mistaken, a medical never took place!
I don't think he's failed a medical. Obviously.
Doesn't seem right at all but City fans were obviously putting money on. It was at 1/3 before suspension. It doesn't take that much money on to close a market these days so it could be people acting on a false rumour. It's not an overnight suspension.
Skybet have suspended the market on Delph going to Man City. A City friend of mine says their forum has an ITK who says it's happening today. The price was 1-3 on him going to City when I checked a few minutes ago.
Why do so many people rely on bookies' odds to make them feel comfortable about something?
Because Betfair is an efficient market where the odds are set by professional gamblers who have no affiliation. If the market over values anyone the price will change accordingly. Bookies odds compilers keep a close eye on the exchanges to set their own prices.
Sunderland are looking decent in their game. Loved Delph this half - fouling him is the only way they can deal with him. Two more goals and I'll relax.
Most bookies have Hull shorter than us but there's not much to choose between them. I hope Newcastle play like they did against Arsenal in the derby - Advocaat losing two on the spin would be a sickener.
