    Cheers Dex! What has happened to your Bilboa side this year? Loved watching them last year, they were seemingly ready to step up to the next level but noticed their European voyage was short lived? They still got bit Llorente upfront or did he get sold??

    Javi Martinez was sold for €40m and not replaced in defence...the team have conceded 50 goals in 25 games.Llorente's modest contract demands were rejected by the board.Very proud and arrogant club who have decided that he will sit on the sub's bench and train with the suplentes until his contract runs out and he will go to Juventus for free instead of the €25m the club could have got last summer after he announced he wanted to go.

    Relegation beckons for the first time in history (only AB,Barca and RM have never met the drop) and with a new 55,000 seater stadium just about to open!

    Dark days and discord rife both on and off the pitch...a toxic mix that would stifle any possibility of progress.

    That's been happening on and off lately (ever since the server upgrade in prep for the transfer deadline).

    Sorry to hear that Dex, they were an absolute joy last year. A mini Barca was how I thought of them. That's a shocking state of affairs with Llorente- I'm sure they could have fetched 25million euros or more from Chelsea too. Goes to show the lengths that stubborn owners or directors will go, to the detriment of the club and the supporters. Hopefully they will stay up though <ok>

    I'll be honest Eddie,I did think about steaming in but reined back unfortunately...it worked yesterday with Realt Mor who crashed out at the first after all sorts of goings on.

    Haven't back one since Salsify two weeks ago.

    That match is a tricky one...Betis always give you a chance and play an open expansive game whilst Malaga have the tightest defence in the league and a decent away record.Malaga also have one eye on the CL and played away in Porto mid week.They have a smallish squad also.

    If I was punting I'd probobly go for a narrow home win.

    I'd

    Ok! I may have been offline during you're Boris Fenster stage but I do recall you were pretty apt at flagging up winners last year on the flat <ok>

    Views everyone? No bet today for me but is he now world hurdle bound? If it comes up good or good to soft surely a real chance?

    Not for me Pops..that was a pretty moderate race today and he makes little appeal at G1 level...albeit a poor G1 stayers hurdle.

    Ain't seen any of the day's racing so merely going on reports but surely Willie Mullins has got to have taught Mickael how to jump by now if he's ever going to learn <doh>
