Nicklas Bendtner has destroyed some huge betting slips with his cup-winning heroics

All hail Lord Bendtner.

That's what they used to say to take the piss out of the man, now they all want to throttle him. Who'd have thought it? Nicklas Bendtner losing you money. You bet against Bendtner's team, you win money. You bet against Bendtner, you win money. That's the way it's supposed to be. Right? Pah! In case you were sleeping or just thought you were dreaming, the former Arsenal legend (yes) scored a last-minute equaliser against Bayern Munich on Saturday and then hit the winning penalty as well to capture the title for Wolfsburg. What he didn't think about was the bets he was ruining all over the continent. Suddenly the jester is public enemy number one. We were celebrating his achievement on Facebook and we didn't even think. We didn't even think. Then Robert Harry Everitt sent us this heartbreaking loss. One minute from glory. It gets worse. Much worse. https://twitter.com/YnWa3107/status/627576014022029313 Some tried to cover themselves to soften the blow. Bendtner doesn't strike twice and all that... https://twitter.com/LiamSweeney_/status/627578830421655552 The despair. https://twitter.com/DanRyanJelley/status/627578270222032897 https://twitter.com/BoardleyJonny/status/627577871276601345 https://twitter.com/_LLCoolK/status/627577462612959233 https://twitter.com/AaronJHarvey/status/627575903489556481 But some could feel it in the water. https://twitter.com/danielbhoy/status/627575729753079808 And some - somehow, inexplicably, inexcusably - knew all along. This guy does not deserve to win money with these ridiculous bets. https://twitter.com/Dan_Milne/status/627575963426144256 How do you like me now?
