    Oh Lord, alright Sir Barney. It is the best manager's job in football, must admit. Bayern Munich could learn a lot from Arsenal in this respect. Haven't counted, but they must have had about 18 of them the last 20 years or so? OK, Bayern honour their trainers' contracts of course, but it's no job for their respective CVs. Very happy that Jupp Heynckes is doing so well this time around as Bayern have treated him abysmally in the past. Jupp could well win the lot this season before his (enforced?) retirement end of June. Good luck to a thoroughly decent man.

    Sad to say the writing was on the wall after the first couple of furlongs - the horse pulled for his head for a whole mile and unsurprisingly had nothing left at the finish.

    placed 3rd at 25-1 - I feel that performance would have won yesterday's easier race at Windsor.

    I don't like Fallon but he was the reason Focail Maith won that race.

    I love Fallon Bob and I agree he was the only reason he won.

    Watching him this last couple of weeks I think he is back to his best.

    well done Joe, and well done Nd on Bold Ring, although mine was the one who just failed to get past you.

    Me likes me trebles alright.Normally one of them lets you down but from a punting perspective i've been doing fairly well with this strategy so i'll stick with it for now.
