    Nah he cant live with these, he couldnt beat handicappers last season, he only just won a King George that he should have pissed, they are reaching for cheekpieces and he has the dentist.

    Up agaisnt Barry on Bob and Davy on Sir, ive had a line through it for months.

    Saying that, it is jump racing and it is Cheltenham so Cape Tribulation and China Rock could fight out the finish for all we know.

    Well said Roy Keane.

    Good call from the ref.

    I said United would get a breakaway goal which they did and at that point Nani should have come off.Poor decision making since at that point the game plan had to change.

    He was the one player on the team sheet that was a surprise with Valencia fit.

    Aside from that you still have to defend even with 10 men but United were ripped apart twice within 13 mins of the sending off.The game was over.

    Always dangerous to give a side like RM almost 70% of the ball.

    No, id still say 3 horse, and gun to my head id have it between Bob and Sir.

    ive just had a feeling for a while that Captain Chris will run a big race, but id be surprised and disappointed if he won.

    Dan: No offence was meant. Just remember quite a few HaHa's with old Cue Card in the past, and the fact that the Tizzards hardly met the criteria for a proper training establishment, i.e. more farmers than anything, which is true I guess. To be honest, I doubt that CC can beat Sizing around Cheltenham; the odd jumping errors (occasionally serious ones) will probably cook him against the Irish horse.

    The ref should never have been a position to make that decision George.

    Nani shouldn't have been on the pitch at that point.

    Overall the best team won I think even though I detest them.

    Hmmm ............. probably right on Long Run not being good enough in the cold light of day. Gold Cup looking like either a no bet race or dutching Bobs Worth & SDC. I'm going off Silviniaco Conti, think he's not a Cheltenham horse. If I can get 8/1 Long Run on the day I might do him e/w. Then again I might save my stake for the Foxhunters <laugh>

    It was still a shocking decision Dex, whether Nani should have been subbed or not. I think United shaded the first half and were on top in the second before the red card. They were very unlucky tonight.

    I thought it was a bad decision at first but the more times I see it the more times agree with the Ref

    Backed Captain Chris @50-1 to win the Betfair and Gold Cup so will be a choker if he obliges, definitely think he can get in the mix though!

    Agreed, Man U were in control until then and it completely changed the game, I wasnt bothered who went through to be honest.

    My boys Dortmund done the job as I knew they would, comfortably, and im still very happy with 40/1.

    Right, fancy another offer? Long Run will be tomorrow's headliner. 10-1 from 6-1, avail EW, and NRNB. Bets can be placed via any WH method.

    Back from OT.

    The red wasn't a red. Dex mate, you're not seeing things straight and I don't understand your point of view.

    Welbeck is terrible in front of goal. 4 easy chances in 2 games after the one he scored. The red shouldn't have been an issue if he'd done what he's paid to do.

    It was very even but Real weren't creating chances and United were so I'm struggling to see how Real were edging it.

    Giggs... unbelievably good.

    Anyway. Football over for the season. Cheltenham a week away.
