James Willowby... Discuss

top man

Always liked him - I find it refreshing to hear different takes on this game ....

Met him at Thirsk last year and he was happy and relaxed to exchange views on a variety of racing topics.

I like him brings something different to the table

Best there is

Some do like him it seems. got to respect other peoples opinions.

i dont think this fred is going to plan.

i need a big joint whan willows on these days when he goes on his steven hawkins rants.casn not listen to him straight anymore

Lamb?, nellie1970?

Knot in wood - it was aimed at the one's who hate him but got to respect other peoples opinion.

He'd make a great Dr Who.

i had some lamb chops last nite...fcing awful

Knowledgable & fun

i can think of a lot of words to describe willow but FUN would not be on the short list

Talkig b*llocks about in-running and pre-race prices, in my opinion

Opinionated buffoon

Strange guy

machin like mcnae just leave him say what he likes even tho you can tell they disagree with him,or think hes talking total ****.

best around imo

Without doubt the best racing pundit there has ever been.

I don't really care whether people tip winners or not but prefer them to know their subject matter. What you do want when you are watching racing coverage most days is a bit of entertainment, he often provides that with his idiosyncratic style so he gets the thumbs up from me.

He entertains alright BB I think he provides us lot some 'piss take' material, and for that I applaud him.

i like him. always in good humour and i can often see where he is coming from.

ya hampton court maze

Divides opinion does James, I can't listen to him, but, everyone's different.

he amazes me how much he talks without opening his mouth

i love james.......something different to the usual rubbish

Worst than Chapman if that's possible

Chapman doesn't pretend to be a pro though. He knows he's the comedy act so plays to it. Willow thinks he's the man and talks and talks. I prefer Chapman as like I say he acts the clown and can be funny... My best clown moment for Chapman was he banged on about the sheep in the field opposite to the track... "I wonder if they know what's going on, its raining as well, I wonder if they know its raining, its only spitting but I wonder..... if they know.... good sheep.. really good sheep... I like sheep.... mmm.."
