Hi guys
Yes its that time of the year already, hope you all really enjoyed the break
but like Ant & Dec its our annual return to the Tipster JUNGLE
suspect there are even more wild animals, diseases & biting insects to overcome
but you know you just love the Buzz
Dont have to remind you, E.W.Thieves have been The Champs for the past 2 seasons
No Team has ever won it for three successive years
New Season . . . New Challenges . . . New Rules . . . see below
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
" The main competition will consist of 20 weekly rounds,
moving back from last year's fortnightly format.
It will be split into two sessions with a 3 week KO Comp in between.
We'll start 3 Feb and I think 20 + 3 takes us through to the Newmarket July meeting,
a bit longer than usual, but that will be it for the year,
no autumn session"
Subtle change of a return to weekly comp is I suspect is going to have a BIG impact upon us
One 'Big' price winner a fortnight usually secured us a top 2 spot
I suspect this change to weekly could almost halve our impact
We may well need to adapt slightly accordingly
As usual a role call is required,
can you please sign in & sign up to another campaign guys

Fair play Cap'n thats an ambitious call in an apprentice race, with plenty of big race favourites dangling like carrots. If it wins, you're through with the bonus point methinks, even if it does get your normal price plunge!! Good luck 
I'm assuming we all joined the Breton Rock insurance scheme
okay guys all to play for final week, i HAVE to get a winner so mine will probably be short (about 8/1 pete) 
is that 8/1 on Dessie?
Yes just hope a couple of us get a winner I think we have possibly been a little bit generous to each other so far all being team mates so it may be time to take the gloves off and go bare knuckled for the final round.
Anyhow good luck to all in final games.

Yes It's been a little bit too much "handbags" this has got to change now.(slightly)
Unfortunately Pete I can't afford for us all to draw again so I'll have to definitely drop my price range as I need a winner. Doubt it will be 1/8 tho
I have found a new handbag with a slight adjustment for our dual Dessie.[ This image is no longer available. ]

I think I can only push this team spirit thing so far
dropped it to second choice because couldnt afford to loose anything at the start GRRRRRRRRRRR
would you like a batch of those bags made over here for you Pete
just say which logo you want Gucci, Radley or Ladley
keep up the good work lads

nice designer thinks the Lacoste look would suit us well
suggests 'Loocloste' with 4 toothless crocodiles around the edge
should evade trading standards people
anagram of Lacoste ... Lost Ace
nice to see Tingle snapping up a third round spot

Don't think Tingle is quite through yet Stewpot, he is in the same boat as all of us, needs to hit one or could go out!!!

I wont be picking in the sprint
didnt realise 'highest aggregate placings' mattered
I must be home and hosed with 17pts accumulated already
got my lawyers on the case
you are way odds on already Oshun
its a head to head with Dessie again
really tempted by that Racing Post trophy

Good Morning Stewpot was at the Boro match last night 22,000 (reduced prices)good atmosphere great game, great result and a touch of 4/6 landed.
Lets just say it was a good Tai.

went on to see who they were playing this am .......... oops forgot Fri
I am big fan of Mowbray
and think current squad is best its been for years
just needed tweaking
the mid week signing was either Gibson message OR support for Venus
please tell me Williams did not play centre back
he has been the wrong conversion for too long IMHO
good news

Was that you & your friend Mr Turnbull that landed the 4/6
Actually I hope he invested his money wisely
he should be a very wealthy man by now
good luck to him ...... Im only jealous

Mowbray's sacking came as a bit of a shock to me but it was nice to here the fans singing "Only one Tony Mowbray"
Williams played at right back
The 4-0 scoreline is very flattering
Donny looked very dangerous all game
Our left back Gibson may struggle against
better teams

I've given you a chance Stew! - My shorter one would have been Sovereign Debt
Bang on Oshun

when it didnt and he put stable jock on I was snookered so crossed the race off
So mixed feelings if Solar goes in .......... lol

I HAVE READ THE RULES IN THE LIKELY EVENT OF ALL 4 OF US HAVING LOSERS AND I AM STILL UNSURE WHO GOES THROUGH?
pete if we all have losers oshun is pretty safe if he finishes in first ten. I think mine would have to finish first four, or you would be through
Stewpot I think has to have a winner as he cant finish in front of you with a loser. If Stewpots won and Oshuns lost, I'd have to win to go through with stewpot, if mine lost both you and I would be out, I think
Thanks Dessie and good luck mate.
Had a smashing day yesterday finished off with 5 from 7 but 0 from 3 so fart oday.

Thats my reading of the situation, so its squeaky bum time!!!
Oh my God it's like Fawlty Towers that should have read So far today.
Market told the story Dessie you can blame me for that with the early invitation as I don't reckon you would have chosen that this morning because of the ground, sorry mate.
Oh dear lol. No problem Petemac Now you need to keep up your current form in the leagues and go forth and multiply!!

Well done Tingle Oshun & Petemac keep waving that flag
We only lost 1 thief on our travels getting to last 16

Nah get in the first strike at around 7/2 they'll all go to pieces Oshun
Looking at the groups unsure which Group I would have preferred
Just play your own game guys as Dessie says one good winner may see you through
or two short ones maybe enough for two wins
Pete that Lampus can be a tough cookie
Only one through is a tough ask
Could easily have 2 Thieves going through
we will all be shouting for you guys

Oshun. Based on your current handicap rating of only 52 you need a miracle to qualify from group2.(but good luck to you anyway)
Group 2 Betting .
8/11 Andrew In Sweden
9/4 Tingle Creek
3/1 Undecided
66/1 CASanMartin.

Nice to see you lads keeping the Champions League suspense going a little bit longer
unsure where I would go today so I wont put up anything short
The two I liked today were Nicholascopernicus 14/1 & Lilac Lace 16/1
but its going to take a while to get back into things
cant decide (again) NH or AW
Nice to see you lads doing well in the tipping leagues - long may it last

Unsure if anything has won the November from that wide a draw
should have gone Forgotten Hero

Good luck today Oshun. I feel very uncomfortable up against a fellow Thief.
Ditto. Don't know whether to go flat or jumps which is essentially a choice between short or long
I think I would make it
1/3 Tingle
3/1 Oshun
5/1 Petemac to go through
Rupert Lamb would have been mijne today

Interesting Stew. I would have played that if it stayed odds against
I think you made it eaier for tingle....... lol
he will gamble on just getting a winner being enough
what he would have picked if you gone for an even moneyish shot
is unknown
Nice to see Mr Easterby have a winner ....... already

Undecided may well have sown the group up
with an extra bonus point coming his way

Might have had you in another furlong or two or three Tingle
We've been written off now. So no pressure

Oshun.Some good news.Its still in our hands to have one thief in the finals.
I need to get the 3pts over UD.and you must do the same and get 3pts against Andrew in Sweden.
Then the best P&L between us two will go through.
Undecided has now drifted from 1/3 out to 6/4.

You show him Petemac and hit one of your beauts lol. Cheeky burger
Hi Pete.I somehow thought that you had already been eliminated.
You face a formidable opponent in the legend Lampus he is the no.1 seed and will be a 'tough nut to'crack'i know this from first hand experience from the old lay a day comp,and the placepot comp the rivarly between us was fierce but always in good taste.
Best of luck Pete and i hope that 2 Thieves make it through to the final week.

yep he is dedicated and I know he is playing mind games with me.
He has told me he is going for a 11/10 shot but I am expecting it to me more like 11/1
Tingle, I thought I had been eliminated twice but now I am going to win it.

Tingle, I thought I had been eliminated twice but now I am going to win it.
Petemac he WILL go for a shorty. If you don't show your hand first you'll beat him with a 2/1 shot imo. He has got into "odds on" mode in the comp and he'll find it difficult not to go with another as he has done so well. Dont post until as late as you can, force his hand.
Its a shame but thats what it boils down to. He waits for his oppo to pick a loser so he can go for a massive odds on shot, or to set him a target, if they hit a winner. Stick it out until Sat as late as you can, you've hit that many good winners recently he'll be the worried one. You can do it
Good Luck with your selection this evening Oshun.
That's me done. Seemed to cover an additional furlong out there. Compensation awaits hopefully.
Good fortune Thieves...

just pleased my nap has won got 6/1 so be happy with a place for Golden Call. (1st would be a bonus)
Hey Lads go to the Premiership thread for Thursday and follow the you tube address as Shane has done an hilarious take of Hitler losing money on Salmon winning the premiership "unmissable"
Many thanks for that YouTube update Pete
a Absolute Classic from Shanelee without a doubt
hes wasting his talents on here
Im sure Salmon is proud of his recognition
Sorry I have not been on of late guys .... circumstances
becoming even more out of touch ........... nearly committed to do more thankfully didnt .......
at least not having to post a nap is saving face

It is a little known 'true' fact that Saint Nick is the patron saint of 'Thieves'
so lets hope he pays all E.W.Thieves a visit over the festive period and gives them his blessing
Happy Christmas & Prosperous New Year to everybody

Good morning Stewpot I hope you had a nice xmas.
I am off to the riverside 12 as our Kirsty has got a six a side match on the pitch 10 min e/w, the wife is staying for the Boro Burnley game but I have been fighting with myself what to do the last week and Kempton has won, so meeting a few mates at 2pm in the Tiger. (I couldn't miss the King George)
Had a good study last night narrowed it down to the three 4/1 joints and Menorah e/w.
My bet is straight win Dynaste at 4/1 bog and e/w Menorah 22/1 Bog.
Any views today?

hope they both enjoyed their day they certainly had one good result

Yep great Stew won 4-0 she scored the opener assisted the next 2 hit a volley at the post in the first minute what would have been the best goal the riverside has ever seen.
Hi Dessie I will put up a new topic up soon
Unsure of Undecideds plans he puts in an enormous amount of effort to keep guys on here happy
and I think it needs to be lowered
(a maximum of three selections per Team on a Saturday may help spread it ?)
there must be a budding IT lad out there willing to set up his own website
just to download cards vet users, competition, race, selections and settle results ......................... lol
sounds easy
looks the perfect project for some University course
Happy New Year to all
