yes its come round again..the greatest sports weekend of the entire year in my opinion.. first we have 2 f.a cup semis..my team chelsea take on aston vila in an intriging match after chelsea whopped em 7-1 last week in the league , villa will want revenge. then sunday spurs take on poor old pompey.every fan in the country except spurs and southampton fans will be willing good ol portsmouth on to the final. then we have the greatest jumps race in the world the GRAND NATIONAL and all the drame it entails..its simply an awesome spectacle..and when all horses n jockeys come home safe its brilliant to watch. then saturday night we have EL CLASSICO.real madrid versus barcelona..both teams locked on same points in la liga..it couldnt be more important..we have wonderful players.. MESSI.RONALDO.to name but 2...its truely fantastic..they dont like each other..more edge...catalan versus imperial spain...but 2 amazing sets of players..massiv crowd..mouthwatering..and of course the creme de la creme of golf.. THE MASTERS..played at augusta..the tournament to spark a million kids imaginations..it did mine ..to inspire them into golf.. its colour..its atmosphere.. its amazing fast greens..the fantastic bbc coverage...its almost a religeous experience..mayb a little over the top..but when i was bout 17 i first watched it and it got me completely hooked on both the masters and golf itself!it inspired me with its majesty and its excitement..so there you have it people... a weekend for sporting officienados.. who knows what might happen...one things for sure.. ITS GONER BE ACE! bring it on lol.

What if you are not interested in the National ...

Your team has been knocked out of the FA Cup ...

and you haven't got the spare time to watch the Golf?

Oh - and the Boat Rce was last week.

Can see your point vernon when you post the events together , not a soccer follower myself and no interest in golf either , it's the Aintree card for me backed up with the Heineken Cup 1/4 finals which proves it's each to their own I guess.


Have a good one.

there aren't any ew terms on a football match so if you include a selection in an ew acca it would be settled at the win odds and the sel would have to win the match

Good post vern, even if the mighty blues do villa 7(SEVEN)-1 again this weekend it will have to go some to top the same weekend of 20 (TWENTY) years ago when NICK FALDO, ALAN PARDEW (somewhat implausibly) and the mighty MR FRISK grabbed the headlines.

Of course Mr Frisk followed up his record-breaking National win by winning the Whitbread at a ridiculous 5/1. I have never been so confident about the result of a horse race, before or, sadly, since.

Happy daze.

Still go occasionally but my other halfs health is not too clever so it's mainly TV and Betfair for us. xx
