Unlucky in the football NEC but that is not important in real terms.My old team mate lives not too far from you,Dougie,he can cheer you up if you wish?

I could arrange a meeting with the big guy if you would like that?

Oh well one out of two aint bad, Dons should have put the game to bed in first half but no complaints about second 45.
V.W.D. on wildcard(s) Glen good prices to boot and comfortably into last four where we take on our old rivals the thieves
should be a cracker and we need to bring our A game with us...

Hi lads,bit of a hangover this morning but a hair of the dog sorted that,had forgotten what it was like.Again well done to the whole team for getting us this far and aceys magic rabbits,amazing how flukey he has been (according to a sore loser)!!!Laugh

Now we are up against a very good team again in a one off,you know we are good enough but as NEC says,we will have to be on the ball,they have a weak link with no SOH so maybe we could use some psychology,like drafting in Skinto who is shocked to find he is considered a cherry!!!Wink

Amazing how we are slated just for doing what we are good at,sour grapes rather than cherry pickers imvho!!

Just do your thing as always and we can discuss tactics as and when if we need to.

Got to agree. Jock was 1/10 to get that cut off but completely ignored it to move further into the pack. Meanwhile horse comes from behind it and gets clear run. Surely he was there on the rail waiting for that cut off and I can't believe he bottled it.
Report glentoby • November 10, 2021 8:00 PM GMT
Not sure what he was doing tbh dessie,the horse is strong over further so holding it up made little sense.

Off to be very shortly but had an ew September Power in the last,seems a tad overpriced imo?

Good luck ALL in the compy and bear in mind it really is just a game.

Hi lads,noted our opponents found a couple yesterday,could have been worse if they had gone for wins.Again despite out good results from acey and scrabbler with big prices,the reality is to weigh up the risk and reward.Scrabblers 16/1 place is equal only to a 6/4 winner for example so please bear in mind today our oppos have taken the lead with ew on fairly short prices and also they cost themselves by going ew on a shortie when only 2 places.A happy medium is what we need imo.

As always though do your own thing and try and make our spare pick count,I have faith in you to pull it off again,reserved the afternoon for racing so will keep an eye on proceedings.Best of luck lads.
