Not a huge fan of Twitter but those that use it are probably aware of @DarrenArsenal1. There are some great pictures of Arsenal fan clubs watching the game/celebrating around the world from yesterday, incredible how global our fanbase stretches. https://twitter.com/DarrenArsenal1

I appreciate not everyone in here is going next Saturday but I was hoping to find out where the majority of Arsenal fans are heading en route to Wembley. I've heard the Green Man in Great Portland Street is where some are congregating, I'm hoping we can rekindle the Paris 06 or Copenhagen 94...

An often forgotten legend of the club. Some of you will be aware that he has had problems battling gambling addition in the past, and it was fairly well documneted a few years ago that he was also battling an alcohol addiction. I played football (grey haired old gits team) last Saturday and...

Found a link to this from Barry Geraghty's twitter account - if Ruby Walsh and Davy Russell are involved then it promises to be entertaining, airing 28 Nov. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJmOubGJFok

Evening All I've taken the liberty of doing the daily thread as I'm off to Towcester tomorrow and was hoping to get a few opinion this evening on the meeting. 12.50 Highland Lodge Not a fancy price but a solid choice I think in what is probably the best race of the day. Some very decent...

I think the headline is a little misleading, the new man doesn't even take over control of the racecourse until after the November meeting, and he's only said it's not a priority. This subject divides opinion, a Sat Gold Cup would become a beast of a meeting and very quickly surpass the Grand...

Evening All I thought I'd hijack the Daily Thread, firstly because I've never done one before and secondly because I'm off to Yarmouth (a track I've never been to) so was keen on getting the early view of you flat experts. I did the card earlier and my very limited knowledge came up with...

Sad to hear of the death of Go Ballistic today from Colic. This horse won't top any 'all time great' lists but there'll be very few horses who get placed in Cheltenham festivals 9 years apart (he finished 3rd in the 1994 bumper behind Muckelmeg and then 3rd in the Billy Hills chase in 2003...

Not sure if this slipped under the radar or whether people are fed up with reading about past NH heroes tipping up for the last time. Master Oats this morning sadly died at the age of 28. He won his Gold Cup by a wide margin, very probably the widest since Arkle (someone I'm sure can confirm)...

Sad news today that Barry Hills 1992 Stayers Hurdle winner Nomadic Way, who also finished runner up in the Champion Hurdle, has sadly died at the age of 27. If memory serves me correctly he also won a Cesaerwich and an Irish Champion Hurdle. Great horse, RIP

I've not been online since before the festival and thanks to some rogue porn finding its way onto not606 I can no longer access the site from the office ! I've tried reading the threads from last week, not managed them all, hope you all found a few winners and enjoyed the racing. I'm sure...

OK, I don't want to drag up the whole sorry whip ban saga again but AP is on a dodgy novice chaser who barely jumped a twig on the first circuit, he galvanised Prince of Pirates to dead heat with Richard Johnsons, Blackloon High. To me it looked like a great ride, a great job of nurturring a...

So Unaccompanied is avoiding the festival and Voler La Vadette is running away from Quevega, believing a battle with Big Bucks in the World Hurdle will be easier than taking on Willie Mullins mare. I am already on at 13/8, 6/4 and 5/4, she is still 8/11 with Ladcrooks and a general 4/6, however...

Morning All On The Fringe is back out today at Leopardstown - this was the big talking horse last year and I doubt I was the only one that got taken in by the chat that said he'd win last years Foxhunters by a mile then double up with this years Gold Cup. What do people think of his current...

To keep this away from Daily threads and others I wanted to know what peoples views were on this ones participation in the Gold Cup. The race is starting to look weak for me, Long Run may have regressed and just about every credible alternative with the exception of Kauto has question marks...

After Curruthers victory in Saturdays Hennessy there's a case for Mark Bradstocks charge to own this title, but there was another winner on the same card who always seems to be spoken about as 'just short'. Rock on Ruby isn't one of Nicholls stable stars but this one has the makings of being...

Thought this deserved it's own thread as it seems to have got lost in the aftermath of todays victory - whether you're a lover or a hater, for anyone to lead their team to 500 wins is an amazing achievement.

Haven't seen this covered but apologies it it has and I've missed it, but Terry suffered a stroke on Saturday and remains in hospital. Not entirely sure how serious his condition is but I really hope it's not life threatening and he makes a full recovery. One of the games characters, keep...

Our financial results are out. The reduction in property sales was expected and these number don't include any of the activity in the Summer transfer window. Are you happy with these or more interested in playing matters ?

Morning All I attended a function last night and bumped into Andy Stewart, actually it was more than a 'bump', we had some time before the event began and he afforded me about 30 mins which was fascinating and needless to say, informative. Some of this may be old news but I'll summarise...
