    Well worth watching the whole film though - some great goals

    That was 1978 Oddy and yet in 2012 Chelsea and Liverpool players and fans still do the same thing.

    Quel it was only rocking because of the whole suarez & evra incident. Been to OT myself and the atmosphere was piss poor first game of the season 1-1 against Newcastle - Martins 1-0 up :p - it seems that way every week on TV as well - for such a big stadium the noise is bad

    Atmosphere at OT can be piss poor but it's always great against Liverpool and European nights is fantastic. Unfortunately We've got the UEFA cup now and not champs league so not sure how Thursday nights are going to fare.

    Suarez did shake hands with Wellbeck and Valencia though - does that indicate he isn't racist but just has an issue with Evra?.................................... in fact he even shook hands with Giggsy the adulterer and Rooney the brothel creeper <laugh>

    Toppy it has to be Cash And Go for me. I think Sous Les Cieux is massively overrated on his Royal Bond victory and he was beaten fair and square by Edward O'Grady's runner last time out. I don't believe a couple of pounds in the weights will make much difference. SLC looks one paced to me - in the Royal Bond he just hacked round against some inferior animals, but last time out Cash And Go accelerated past him and he had no answer. Lord Windemere rates the danger for me - very unexposed and on a line through Dylan Ross is close to Cash And Go. Much as I loved Captain Conan's victory in the Tolworth (I backed him SP) I think he will be exposed here by crack novice hurdlers and I can see Henderson putting him away for next season afterwards.

    I am not sure but think it carries over to the next C4 race. There is usually a message in your inbox to tell you. If not send them an email via the link. They are very good at getting back to you. The best bookie by a street.

    Sous Les Cieux by 5 lengths +

    failed to settle last time out and that was not his true running. Odddy the 2nd in the Royal Bond was 100+ on the flat I know it doesn't always work like that but he took well to hurdling. Midnight Game was beaten around 15 lengths - and that one has beat Dylan Ross more impressively than Cash And Go did last time out with SLC in 3rd. I know SLC is a better horse than Midnight game, extra 2f will help -has been given a longer break inbetween his race as well. I do not see him losing tomorrow. The Irish horses will get nowhere near him , only danger is the unknown Captain Conan who could be anything still

    I think the extra 2f will help SLC tomorrow as he looks more of a stayer to me - I think it's telling that Mullins started him over 2m4f. I think the form line through Midnight Game is interesting but I actually think the head-to-head last time is more telling. I would even say Cash And Go idled a bit in front, allowing Dylan Ross to get at him but then found a length when he needed to. SLC looked full of running coming off the final bend but found nowt, He was fighting for his head in the early stages but it didn't look too bad and I'm not sure it took too much out of him. If the stables were the other way around Cash And Go would be odds on tomorrow.

    Captain Conan is the lay of the day
