My guess would be a very decent stake if he thought he was getting 33/1 about a c. 20/1 or shorter chance... no surprise if he doubled the £2.6m prize money.
Was good fun at The Amex on Wednesday. Will it get another airing at Anfield today?
Gave me an idea (NB mainly lightheartedly doomed, but with a semi-serious angle too...) about how we could finally solve the issue of how much noise the different Amex stands can actually make and what that...
Surprising it took 6 years.... for 90%+ of people who bet regularly, a relatively very big win is not good news in the long run.
Much better to stay bobbing along,
spending the money you can roughly afford to each year, than to hit "the big time"...
Probably for Tony... he will have won a few million pounds today for instance.
A 22/1 winner is a big help, but significantly backing his horses at starting prices over years would lead to heavy losses. Not to be advised.
Love the last bit of commentary about the boldness of taking a lightly raced British horse all the way down to Australia to compete for their second richest prize of the season.
The horse is backed in from 33/1 to 22/1 just before the off and storms home.
It's almost like someone a little bit...
The WFA thing doesn't seem very Labour at headline face value but makes sense in wider context. This government can be TRUSTED to deliver policy that works in the interests of the many, not the few.
Big coincidence to see this today after yesterday evening being at the Petworth Literary Festival to hear John Sweeney talk about his book "Murder In The Gulag: The Life & Death of Alexei Navalny". He àrgued that BBC journalists should not be in Russia, in order to be able to properly denounce...
Sounds like the sort of thing one would hope for from a recently elected Labour government. Hopefully paid for by tax increases on those with broader shoulders (and especially their unearned wealth).
I noticed something like "67 PB" (or rough equivalent) on a nice little Porsche in the uni car park at the Spurs game... took all my Sherlock Holmes' skills to guess at the owner.
As far as I know we are one of very few adopters. Plymouth perhaps being another? Teams who stuck with the better "Here We Go" tune include West Brom, Wolves, Leeds, Arsenal, Everton (notably), Newcastle... not sure why we had to change - recent revival attempts are welcome
Not sure when but "How?" is the main people who start chants chose to do it, and "Why?" is because Liverpool did it and we have always been massive plagiarists.
Agree with most of this. I remember a round of golf during the time, with a friend who is inside pro football and he laid the blame firmly with Potter. It is the responsibility of the Manager (Head Coach) to oversee the development of young players in the First Team squad. Very obvious what...
