    Rishi Persad in fine form this afternoon....
    Rishi to the the lovely Leonna Maher "on a day like this when do you know whether you'll be racing or not."
    LM reply " when they tell us"

    Well done Rishi you make Thommo look probing and insightful. Absolute f***wit.

    I hear your pain George!

    I don't bet on footy - but Reading to win in play at about 70 minutes would have been a real long shot.

    Those two were my only winners - hope you did better <ok>

    Becks and Barcelona - some comfort after the racing abandonments. Only took Lionel 6 minutes to score :bandit:

    He's some operator...hilarious to think people were debating whether Rooney was a better player...many thought he was :huh:

    Shame the racing was so decimated today.

    I shall be lumping on the plastics tomorrow at 6/4 v Tottenham...easy dosh.

    I'll also be doubling them with another coupon standout,Real Betis who play on Monday and are a mouthwatering evens in places.

    Best player there's ever been IMHO - to score with the regularity he does, in the modern game, in arguably the strongest league in the world is breathtaking.

    Maradona the only realistic comparison..they are so similar but I agree Messi shades it.

    What amazes me is his fitness and durability...he never seems to miss a game and gets a lot of punishment from most defences who can get near him.

    Never dives either...another difference between him and Rooney...

    He should have had a hat-trick really - 4th minute he's clean through and drags it a yard wide of the far post, then a couple of minutes ago he lobbed the keeper, the ball came back off the post and rolled along the goal line before the defender cleared. Sociedad pulled 1 back, 1-2 now but really Barca should've been out of sight by now.

    Have had to deposit following that Aupcharlie balls up.

    First bet with the new funds is draw-Blackpool double halftime/full time at 11/2. So far so good. They could do with a finisher though.

    Valdez is a car crash of a goal keeper...his fumble for the initial corner started that passage of play...no wonder his contract isn't being renewed.

    Tomorrow is San Sebastian's day and the tamborrada so fitting San Sebastian making a fist of it tonight...big two day fiesta coming up.

    Hope Barca score...no love lost between us and Donosti...

    Saw a report about the job situation for young people in Spain the other day - really sad. Hope things turn around for them.
