James Willoughby

Or any form of racing?

I've got to the stage now, where I can't even look or listen to him.
Nauseating individual

so angus can stick one up his arse

McNae is 10 times more nauseating than Willo.  Willo offers an opinion and McNae simply agrees with it.  Nice work if you can get it.

"Willo offers an opinion"???

How can he offer an opinion, he knows nothing about the jumps?

by all accounts they are said to be very nice guys

some of us don't like the Jumps...

I thought he had retired twice ffs

THEY are trying to insult your intelligence loper. Willoughby admits to knowing nothing about jump racing and has professed disdain for it.

Use the mute button. Do not let them get to you.

loper ....

You could have left off the ....

"when there's jump racing scheduled?"

You wont be complaining when it's 10 clear

Racing UK are fouling up when it comes to having experts on to discuss Meydan. As far as most UK punters are concerned it is not a meeting of great interest

If Jason Weaver (who's ridden more winners and Willows had spliffs) can talk constructively and with due respect about jumping then we shouldn't have to put up with this ttwat.

Weaver's "knowledge" of jump racing equates to tipping "the Elliott horse" for the National. You know,"the champagne one".

As for Willoughby......

"The figures never lie"


WAC

If Willoughby wants to wear a tie, top button done up and knotted properly would be the order of the day. Looks a scruffy herbert as it is.

mcnae is putrid, he encourages willoughby all the fecking time, "we now go from one of the worlds greatest sprint races to a claiming hurdle" cue a s****ing willoughby in the background, they are both pieces of filth.

i wouldn't really care if he turned up in jeans and a tee shirt if he stopped talking shyte.

It's not the content its the tone, the insulting dismissive tone, that Willoughby brings to the table.

He should gift his ludicrously excessive fee to charity.

Agreed ,Duffy. McNae seems to see himself as Willoughby's straight man. Willoughby would have to be funny for that to work.

you lot are always crying about this , let it go there are plenty that like james as offer's something different .i dont like jumps racing or listen to anything about it ,so guess what , i just dont watch it or listen to it ,you all have the power to do this as well folks

Ruk are showing 2 jump meetings today so we haven't much choice.

Dope.

RUK UK is the clue. I was asked when I recently cancelled subscription reasons why. The arrogance of presenters was 1 of reasons in reply. Im sure I will it miss but I doubt it.

They are really out of touch with their customers with this hyping up of the Dubai Carnival.

they really are out of touch

I've said it before and I will say it again, muting the ones you don't like does not get you a rebate so people are entitled to moan.

Presenters could offer something different in terms of how they look at a race without the attitude.

Willo should start lobbying now to whoever produces the Meydan coverage on Sky Sports.

staggering stuff from out of touch mcnae , we're going to have to record the dubai race, sorry that's what we have to do" he really thinks we're gutted

They are really out of touch with their customers with this hyping up of the Dubai Carnival

Viewers are not their customers, they are the product RUK is selling to their real customers, the bookmaking industry, imho...

They actually think we care about Dubai. You couldn't make it up

dont worry willo will be due another 'retirement' soon

I was wondering when you would appear with the same old bilge,millhouse.


zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

willow putting up royal delta.ifit loses he will then say the track has changed to a slick track

Flyingbolt, I've no interest whatsoever in how entertained you are...

sights and sounds from dubai

they really are taking the p1ss

when mcnae mentions carlisle or mussleburgh he as a snide little laugh in the background.
if he is so keen on dubai,why dont he fluck off out there.

A phucking light show when there are horses in the paddocks at jumps meetings in the UK.

You couldn't make it up.

I'm sure I can't be the only one who is bored senseless by your constant same old rant.
It doesn't matter what the thread is about you still manage to appear saying the same frigging thing.

FFS man we get your point.

I'm  gonna e mail the cwnts when the racing is finished.

its a bit late emailing them then when its the last meeting

parispike, i think this proves millhouse's point, i'm sure bookmakers will be looking at the horses in the prelims and are very happy for the ruk viewers to be watching the entertainment at dubai

no need to moan hedge hopping from carlisle on now

Bolty cheerful as ever :)

Quite right,gosforth.

Flyingbolt, the thread is about why RUK don't give their viewers what they want - if you are so naïve that you can't see that this is absolutely not the commercial agenda, it's hardly my problem...

Actually the thread is about James Willoughby.
The clue is in the title,son.

It wouldn't matter if the thread was about The Flowerpot Men . You woukld still appear saying the same thing as always.

Whatever, flyingbolt...

What they appear to miss is that punditry is of no real concern to us punters,as we already know what our plan of action is,or should do,regardless of the endless waffle spouted by these pundits.graham,why say 20 words when you can say 200 words,Cunningham,or James,let me turn this into a technicsal operation Willoughby.
  Football is even worse.The Montenegro v England game contained stat. after stat. after stat. from that clown Clive Tyldesley,and his not-needed sidekick.One commentator is more than enough.The reference librasry is the place for stats.
   The majority of sport is watched by dedicated viewers,and the action is what it is all about.
   For racing,
Paddock

What they really seem to miss is that this subscription channel is called Racing UK.

"The figures never lie"


I expect the pace was all wrong for Await The Dawn.

Best horse never wins.

Exactly,Kingmambo. That is his problem.

He is an A grade chopper.

he has mcnaes chopper in his arse

willoughby would be quite capable of putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 5, and then would write a rather complex thesis as to why 5 is actually the correct answer anyway!

"No bolty he can't quicken off those fractions on firm grnd" yet he backed it this morning ffs
What a pair of c00nts, these two are, and chuck in Derrick Smith's kid, gimpy little git, little runts jubilant
celebrations every time one of O brien's wins, coolmore boys must have all of the old mans cash by now

You have him summed up perfectly,duffy.

I'm all for insight and thinking outside the box, but it is the way it is presented as gospel after the END of each race time and time again in that 'know it all' manner.

I'm all for insight and thinking outside the box

the problem with willoughby is that he thinks outside the dodecahedron!!

They should stick him into that fraacking haldron collider, and crank it up, full whack

he'd give it indigestion

It's the attitude that is the problem really.  Has the quality at this carnival really been as good as they have been telling us... Really? 

Some good horse for sure, but quite as good as they would have us believe?  Hmmm.  As an international racing enthusiast with an open mind (who also enjoys jump racing shock horror!), I am not so sure.

the carnival is never any good only a circus for the boys in blue.willow said earlier anyone who does nor like this racing does not like flat racing.i love the flat hate the jumps but i also hate the carnival.mellish even said he could not stand the carnival either

tomo

The fact that the fav for the World Cup struggled to win a G3 over here tells a story imo.

I like Willoughby. Dream team for a racing channel - ideally Channel 4's coverage - Willoughby, Cattermole, Matt Chapman, Jason Weaver, Lydia Hislop, Steve Mellish.

Too many gravy train racing pundits been doing it for too long, & so grey in their presentation. At least Willow is leftfield & individual in his approach. Refreshing imho.

neesom shocking omission from dream team

Weaver and Cattermole is a frightening inclusion

fuuk me mcnaes turned into the churchill dog yes yes yes

well done james you read that well

Just to wind up the day, Willoughby declared that ROYAL DELTA WILL WIN THE DUBAI WORLD CUP BECAUSE THE GROUND CONDITIONS SAY SO.

Willoughby
Weaver
Cattermole 

Not much point being "left field and original" if you dont know what you are talking about.

... he finished last but one.

Apparently that was a 'brilliant performance' from Animal Kingdom!!  Chuckle, chuckle.

Must have been a top class race.

Red Cadeaux finished 2nd and Side Glance almost got placed.

ok james you have made a cuunt of yourself you can fuuk off home now

he waited all day to completely miss-read that race(it happens).
and mcnae is like a nodding dog just agreeing with him.

How many winnerws have the "speed figures" come up with today ?

flyingbolt

the figures never lie the track was all wrong tonight for the figures brigade

hes just found the golden highway.
will have to keep for next year.

Seems Royal Delta left his equine flow psychology back home?.

All time low for willoughby today, fast becoming a figure of ridicule and fun.
It's a mixture of laughter and embarrassment when he appears. I really feel for
his mrs when he gets in the front door

The Dubai racing is as boring as it gets. Neither racing channel should even bother showing it.

If either James or Angus were punting full tine they wouldn't last till Xmas,both are clueless. Speed figures blah blah,total and utter rolloxs

The whole lot is getting fcking boring.

The Camel Botherers have ensured that this remains on the Tv as they have money to burn.
Red Cadeaux earned £1.25 M for being second.

"Royal Delta WILL win The World Cup"...said JW..

At least he is willing to stick his neck out. Maybe some of you prefer McGrath, Luck & Cunningham using their fancy studio gizmos to give the impression of informed analysis. I'd rather listen to Willoughby regardless of him being wide of the mark on occasions. Watched him one afternoon on RUK last summer when he virtually went through the card at Sandown with 5 winners. How can you laugh at any analysis of sectionals? Cattermole is an outstanding presenter. Very bizarre decision to dump him imho.

Crappermole is a myopic guesser which may just explain why he was tin tacked.
Willoughby is blessed to be employed in any form of horse racing,imo.

Superb coverage by RUK of the Dubai carnival with excellent analysis by Willo, whose speed figure ratings through up plenty of winners during the Carnival.

As for Racing UK covering the meeting, well if they hadn't I would e-mail in to complain and ask why not? The 'UK' were well represented throughout the Carnival, and many of the Godolphin / Irish / foreign runners will be racing here during the turf season, so the form may have some relevance.

*threw up

Willoughby makes me feel like throwing up,George!

Agree with George. Willoughby is interesting imho. Im not sure why the carnival draws criticism. High quality racing at nearly every meeting.

So what the hell went on with the track today? JW was expecting 2.09.00 for the World Cup based on the other races. The winner comes in at 2.03....

Willoughby would debate the the toss of a coin for half an hour.
Makes easy decisions seem like making a Will.

remember willobi when he worked for Carrigills bookies in dewsbury,are they still going?

Not if he was making their prices,durose!

Cattermole in the top 3 Morning Line tipsters so he is a good guesser. As a presenter he knocks socks off the rest. Maybe you prefer Thommo

I detest mot of them,Johnny.

Johnny was being ironic, wasn't he?
