    Brighton 6.10 HIGHLAND HARVEST 14-1 has a great chance at the weights. His turf rating is 8lbs lower than his AW rating and despite being 1lb out of the handicap he is really well weighted on last seasons form. He is a dual course and distance winner, admittedly on good to firm but some cut has never seemed to bother him. Last September he was beaten here only 2.1/4L off a mark 5lbs higher than this. He has looked out of form, otherwise he wouldnt be this price but the handicapper has given him a real chance and I am prepared to side with him on that basis. His best form would see him win this in a canter!

    I feel really sorry for them actually, they were playing the better football when Spurs suckered them twice on the break!
    I hope for our sake WBA do us a favour and it doesnt go the last game. My nerves cant stand much more!

    I bet RV is delighted too

    I've only watched the 2nd half and agree they were on top until the 2nd spurs goal. I'm gutted as layed spurs at 1.28 @ ht on betfair, Bolton equalised, then was just thinking of cashing out and Spurs went and made it 2-1. Never mind.

    Yeah Qpr need a result this weekend, don't fancy you getting anything at City to be honest....

    Oldrick in the last @ Hereford @ 6/1 looks a class above the field and return to ant type of form would see an easy win . Max bet for me

    RV/George - They said on talksport during commentary that Cisse has a buy out clause of 15 million. Reckon you can keep hold?

    Charlie does very well at Hereford so I've done his three for a cheeky little trixie.

    I am a big fan too Quel as you probably know. I wonder if he wanted Tom O'Brien on Ted in the last??? Found a half decent deputy though!

    Agree it's possibly rubbish but you have to be slightly worried! We'll swap you him for Carroll if you want?

    not too worried if i'm honest. i genuinely don't listen to anything that station has to say. could broker some sort of deal for carroll, how much money do you have left? ;)

    If I knew that George then id probably cry.

    Kenny will stand down in the summer anyway so dunno what will happen with Carroll etc. I went the match last night and it's the worst I've seen in a long long time. Crowd were right on his back. Even if we win on Sat, I still think most want him gone.

    Good luck with your CL dream anyway :)

    Carroll will come good but I don't know if you will play the football for him. He's as good in the air as anyone in world football I genuinely believe that. I don't know about Kenny, maybe now Comolli is gone he can excel? Or not?

    Carroll was actually our best player the other night. He put the effort and work in but just didn't have any support. I really want him to do well but as you say, I just don't think we will ever play the right style for him.

    Interesting Summer ahead!

    Anyway, back on to the racing. Really fancy one today so had a nice bet on this last night.
