Annoyingly, I didn’t back any of the winners yesterday even though I picked out Min and Concertista. Allmankind for me in the first, Solo has had one run over hurdles and is an unknown quantity whereas Allmankind won the trial of this race a few months back so is proven over course & distance...

Not a great day yesterday from a betting perspective but some cracking races. Braced for more of the same again today. Quite fancy Faugheen in the first but feel it may be sentimental rather than rational. Gone for the mare Annie Mc on the money back offer with SkyBet. Mares seem to be having a...

Be interesting to know if the club have business interruption insurance to cover things such as this. I’d hope so but you’d hardly envisage something like this happening. Happy for the club to keep the ST money, it’s out of their hands at the end of the day and will likely need propping up. May...

Lol

Chacun Pour Soi now a non runner. See how the first 2 get on and may go big on a Defi & Tiger Roll double.

I would imagine Envoi Allen wins the opener but, as stated above, the price is far too short to be bothering with for a novice. Likely to have money on The Big Breakaway with that money-back offer on the table. Minella Indo has festival form which is always a plus so takes my bet for the RSA...

Not done badly today, £40 up. Steered clear of Benie, odds were far too short for the low stakes I’m playing with this year. Didn’t bother with that race at all. Ended up having a £5e/w bet on Darver Star, not often I back e/w especially since they decreased the odds to 1/5, but was decent value...

An interesting note is that Gordon Elliott’s stable seem horrendously out of form coming into this. See how Abacadabras goes in the first and may be worth using that as a marker for the week.

Football sure attracts it’s fair share of mad bastards doesn’t it.

Hope you’re backing it on SkyBet - refunded up to £10 if it loses. Not as up to speed as I used to be with the horses so won’t be betting as much as usual. Really intrigued by some of the races today. 1.30 - Shishkin 2.10 - Notebook 4.10 - Benie Des Dieux If I get a winner in the first two...

Frozen peas.

As someone mentioned previously, it may be worth buying a Wimbledon ticket for another of their home games just so you have a previous purchase history and can go in the home end on the last day. Though I imagine if too many do that for the same game it’d be rather hilarious.

This has been floated for about 6 months now, surprised it’s taken this long for comment. I think it’s a fair idea, what’s £50 over a year?

I think what I’m getting at is that it’s been reinvested by increasing the wage bill, but it’s evident that poor recruitment and poor top-level management of the football side are the main contributors. Are many of your players on high wages/long contracts? I know you have a colossal squad - is...

CJ’s mate from England away trips. No ta.

Said before that I expect him to be the next owner.

Sorry to revert back to this, but it seems that the transfer fees you speak of didn’t “just vanish”. Looking at the accounts, you are making year-on-year losses and have a wage bill outstripping your turnover. Poor recruitment and wage control, ignoring the fact that there’s a lot of other...

Certainly becoming more and more prevalent. As Otis says, I think it’s a volume thing as much as anything, and far too often I will open a message but not get round to replying and then it drifts from my consciousness.

Doesn’t that signal a slight rise from a few months ago?
