A longer running saga than Raheem Sterling
Jamie Carragher can protest all he wants, but a bet is a bet is a bet.
You lose and then you face a forfeit, and it looks like finally the Liverpool legend has decided to bite the bullet and accept the biggest challenge of his life.
In case you don’t know but back in 2013 Carragher claimed that Totenham new boy at the time Paulinho would score 15 goals for the club, but as we all know, that definitely did not happen.
As it was, Carragher lost a bet with Gary Neville and the former Liverpool defender agreed to wear a Manchester United jersey as a forfeit.
He did try various methods of getting around the problem though.

But Gary was having none of it.
Don't think so James!! The kit will be with you by the end of the week! It's ordered. A bet is a bet!

Carragher to his credit did offer several compromises, but like a stubborn ex who just won’t take you back no matter how many boxes of Celebrations you leave outside their door, Neville was not for turning.
Until this.

And finally today we have the date when Liverpool fans may find a little bit of dinner coming back up their windpipe while Manchester United fans can set the SKY box to record.
