The Knives were out for Fawkes- Fieves Final Fling November to Remember

A 'Very Nice' weekly return
some very solid efforts there guys - well rewarded - give yourselves a pat on the back
see you all tomorrow ;-) :-) :-)

A very good week chaps
Well Done :)

Been out all day fellas so
just seen the scores BRILLIANT
thats all i can say

outstanding thieves. a great return to div 1

Six winners in any week is quite a feat lads
so I wont dare take on the role of Oliver and ask is there any more ;-)
but UD has emptied my begging bowl again so lets see what surprises are on the Menu this week :p :p :p

great effort last week !! out of interest, whats the most point`s we`ve scored in any one week ??

I have a feeling we have bettered last weeks score when it was limited to top five selections, but it was a long time ago. I think the Demons had a massive record week in the 400s.....................

Morning guys
looks like being a 'Raindrops keep falling on my head' week
so a few rays of sunshine will be more than welcome :-) :-) :-)

JB
Sorry I dont keep any records but I seem to remember us wanting 310 one week and getting 305 or something like that
or was that me dreaming . . . ?:| ?:| ?:|

Morning Dessie
Nice handicap winner from you saturday
do you think our team does better during NH season ?

I know we are playing mainly for pride & monthly title

BUT
if we end up with the top profit an EXTRA 5pts BONUS
will lift us into a worthy 3rd place

Yearly table after month 7 of 8:

Humbugs overtake long time leaders AW Barons, should be very interesting final month, don't forget there is an EXTRA 5 BONUS points for overall highest scoring team, and the Barons still hold prime spot there, only just though!

I think we are only about £70 off the top spot
just shows our 'false' league position . . . . . that will have them rofl
:D

Off to look at todays racing in depth (my wife wants the PC) :-)

This year's comp ends 28 Nov, I have put up a thread about next year, please have a look.
I hope you will want to carry on playing but please let your team know if you don't wish to continue next year so that we can find replacements in the meantime.

PLEASE NOTE Undecideds comment above ^^^^^^^^^

PLEASE READ ^^^^^

further support or suggestions always welcomed
"buy outs" in the form of very expensive Xmas gifts
will be evaluated at the next Thieves board meeting :-)

Up-to-date figures from Undecided

Shows we are only one 6-1 winner from the lead
so no rush for any change in tactics

This is how the yearly table looks at half way this month:
Humbugs are currently favs for the 5pts bonus, but Thieves & Barons are not far off.

Evening Thieves, unlucky temples :(

Or was that C.................

Morning. Elna Bright 155Ling. Out now but will be back for 2 to
check if anything needs doing.

Morning All. Zubova at Lingfield 125. Tempted by a few others. Helllbender had gone already, Kayf Aramis would be my each way pick today.

JB54 Oshun & myself to play
was picking up my NH pin for Haydock today but it fell over . . is that a sign
two there took the eye but better let better men than me in first
besides that 18.00 looked interesting . . . :-)

Hard lines HKF
Still no sign of JB54 ...are you out there JB54

Billy I do believe its you I will JB until 2.00

Decide against NH I have gone with Himalya e.w. 8-1 I hope

OMG & what a terrible price too. :(

I'm here now Dessie. Stew, i'm sorry to say yours was my second
choice, doesn't bode well given my current form!

Billy 10-1 to 20-1 on here after that comment of yours ........ lol
doesnt bode well :-(

rearrange these words........cease wonders never

Nice of them to oblige when you & us really needed it Billy :^0

Lovely Stuff Billy

Feel free to pick again Billy . . . . . sorry JB
I think 14.00 is late enough
it limits your choice I know but always Kempton :-)

i'm on to it stew, will post in a min

Brilliant strike billy :)

I've a feeling jb might be suffering from the shocking weather Stewpot

yes more than likely Dessie
lets hope we can bring him a little sunshine :-) :-) ;-)

sorry jb but i've wussed out and gone ew. I'm sure you would have
gone on nose, Morgan Be

Excellent winner Billy.Well Done. Great Stuff.

Valuable points there Stewpot. Well done

Good work Stewpot,Well Done.

Tremendous battling effort for those place points Billy. Great Stuff.

Excellent effort there Billy :-)
I suspect two armchair rides in a day were nearly catching you out this early in a season
a bit of wavering there . . LOL

Sorry guys keep losing internet today :( Well done Stewpot with those valuable place points and I don't know what your second pick was yet but I assume congrats to you AGAIN!!! Well done ;-)

Well Done Thieves, nicked in a photo again but a good finish and a good week next could get us that five point bonus too :)

A really good effort there lads
we just got pipped but good points on the board :-) :-) :-)

Things are really hotting up for a great final week

Those 5 Bonus points are certainly still up for grabs
will post the figures for you tomorrow
enough to say its very tight at the top
some very good scoring by Div2 teams today

It looks like it could be Racing Demons v Each Way Thieves for overall 3rd spot this year, if you get the bonus points it's yours!

Good luck to you :)

I have just sent this note off to Thierry

Now I know we all like to see
1, Champions performing (Humbugs elect)
2, Records broken
3, Exciting tight finishes
AND none of us want to be Party Poopers
BUT
I think it would be rather nice if Thieves were December Champions
or should we be 'sporting gentleman' and let the Humbugs have it
. . . . quick advice reply appreciated . . . :-) ;-)

Just got the internet back this morning, been off since friday,have had to sit with Mrs JB all weekend holding hands watching the rain fall, never seen as much rain up here in the darkest North west. good effort last week Thieves !!

Nice to know Mr & Mrs JB are fine hope all is OK
one half of my family all Cumbrian based
its been a very rough time past few years, hope things improve JB

Thierry just texted me. He says " Give it to The Humbugs " ;)

Im not sure it was him Salmon
he just asked me are there any with frogs legs in your team or ours
I said I was too polite to comment . . ;-)

Dessie I would get off the Talk if I could too soft :-)

Talking of football heres some good news guys
made astute fantasy footie transfer on friday

finally transferred out Defoe .... DOH .... DOH .... DOH

what do I know Ive been away :_|

Stewpot.That was some blunder.
The reverse is true for me i was desperate to get him in my team for sunday but could not afford him.
i was a mere 0.2m short,in the end i had to settle for D ** (1 Goal)
I noticed he was in Dessie's wooden spoon contenders ,Latest price cut Dessie 100/1 into 33/1.

riguez dancer 120 sedge 10 win
ew thieves

Good luck with that Temples. Hope all's well JB. Pretty wet in the west country too but nowhere near as bad as up where you are. At the bottom of our lane where the stream runs parallel it was up to the door seals in the landrover but it's been worse in the past!

Was tempted by my aw nap today Tangerine Trees but the Curley horse over this CD is enough to put me off. Also like General Kutusov at Lingfield but after my short one failing on Saturday I'm steering clear.

Good Luck there Templesgate
as the Sun have a 'new' Templesgate
does that mean we have a inherited 'new' younger version as well . . . lol

Difficult day Oshun giving it a miss
last does look tough wondered if Mozayada could lead all the way & shock
jockey booking for Dig Deep was interesting
ive given up :-)

best of luck any other players

evening stewpot , glad to see your back , will compose an email shortly ,

Sorry guys, over to the final six to take us to those points! GL all ;-)

Never mind Dessie there is still plenty of firepower to come ;-)

Playing away in Exile camp at present guys so dont expect any quick responses
hopefully be back in base camp late friday night
these Whooshsucker trials are tiring me out - hopefully we will have a few stars in the bag by then :-) ;-)

Off to Newbury fri evening for the Hennessy, woohoo!
Put up Evident Pride at Ling on Saturday so if n/r its wildcard
time. Good luck team.

Gone win on Kipchak 9,20
Thought its to short for e/w

Morning guys
Having computer problems but appear to have got over them using a different PC as a temp
should manage for rest of the day .....thats ALL that matters i here you say
looking very difficult for us to earn those 5 bonus points
Quandry
do we go for third place & try & beat off the Demons
or go for broke & win TOP spot for Money

may as well go for broke :-) ;-) ;-)

Hard lines HKF
I know the winner will have hurt a little last night ;-)
& from the wide draw :-(

Go Saturday Thieves go!!!

we need to beat Barons guys
currently 150 pts target
two 8-1 winners one 14-1 ish

Updated wildcard order: hope JB is still OK

JB I realise you may have other priorities

HKF / JB can you let me know you are out there !!!!

There is a further option for JB
could post what I think his selection would be in N3.25

At present I will leave possible wildcard for HKF then Oshun ?
if JB does not sign in ;-)

Instructions noted so Tarateeno to win at Towcester. Have one ready if required and around from about 1pm.

Good Luck

According to John win & wildcard Lingfield 1.10 Equinity win.

Sorry JB the wildcard message was in case you didnt turn up
letting HKF know he would suddenly be promoted
hope that helps
thanks Oshun
