    Well done RV.... a great result considering he was only a 7/1 shot in the Racing Post...most unusual for an unraced Stoute horse to go off at 25/1 anywhere...though Stoute has had a very poor season by his previous standards !

    Long story Red.

    The transfer saga of Martinez and Llorente,problems with construction at Lezama training facility leading to Bielsa tendering his resignation,contract problems with other players,poor relation between the President and Bielsa and a failure to replace Martinez.Llorente,the only goal scorer has been frozen out meaning no offensive product and the team is conceding an average of 2.5 goals per game.Bad combination!

    Also the squad has not been strengthened and injuries have been a problem.The poor run in form started towards the end of last season and has continued..two wins in the fifteen league games.

    In short this side is a shadow of the one that played so well last year despite the personnel being largely the same.Relegation is a real possibility for the first time in the club's 114 year history.

    Things at Anfield not great either for your lads at the moment.

    Indeed Dexter...they should never have ousted the King of the Kop that was Kenny !

    I feel Rogers days are numbered there...though I hope my teams' manager Dave Jones starts to deliver again and push us back to where we firmly belong...the Premiership !

    Any answers for my new Quiz yet ?

    Bonus point for the movie and original text (replace RV with ..................?)

    By the sounds of it Dex if Liverpool played Bilbao anytime soon it would be a very long game...!!!


    Just like anywhere you go, once politics gets involved it usually ends in tears... Gonna be a long season for the Reds this year... And all prices will shoot up for strikers once Jan 1st comes around... Sigh... bring back Rush, Fowler, Kenny, Barnes... i could carry on but its all in the past...


    Onwards and upwards think positive, were playing the Toon this Sunday... gaurenteed 3 points...<whistle>:emoticon-0136-giggl

    I think she was a little unlucky in 3rd there as it looked as if Sentaril hung into her. Hope I get to see a head on. She's such a strong traveller that I think she needs to be given a Spencereque exaggerated hold up ride and get there right at the death as she doesn't do a whole lot out in front. I think on her day and given an exquisite ride she could be up to Group company.

    Having a small bet on 3.20 Lingfield Livia's Dream 66/1. Ed Walker's 3 year old filly is a horse I've followed for quite a bit and she owes me nothing at this stage but I'm very intrigued about her entry in this Listed contest given she is on a handicap mark of just 76. I do feel she's definitely better than her current mark and Ed Walker is far too shrewd a man to ruin her handicap mark unless he thinks she has an excellent chance. If not just out for a spin, I think she's going to surprise a few and I think she'll make her presence felt in this race.
