Under four and a half goals in the game.
I kind of thought it was going to be 2-1.
I would like to have gone further on that.
It was only a 5-2 bet.
We went for City plus two because of...
A kind of a feeling that City would be the dominant team, but certainly wouldn't lose by more than a goal if Arsenal sneaked it.
And we had over four and a half cards because we were expecting a feisty one, which I felt pretty good about when Gabriel and Haaland squared up to each other and got two yellow cards.
Now, the fifth yellow card in the game was the Pep Guardiola.
I think it's just a card so if you've got two yellows yes it would count as two cards but if you've got straight red I think it counts as one card
We should check that out.
Again, we will check it out.
And we'll also check out whether manager or off-pitch yellow cards count.
But look, let's just say I was one yellow card off the first week and I'm either one yellow card off the second week or... Winner, winner.
So not bad so far.
And I've gone to leave out the yellow cards altogether this week.
Arsenal, Newcastle.
Well, I think there'll be a few yellows in there.
Maybe, but I just wasn't... Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I wasn't comfortable with going back into the yellow card well too often, but I have gone to the corners one again.
It was nine and a half was the over-under for the City-Arsenal game and I think it went up to 14 or 15.
