    Managed to back Van Gerwen at 11/2 for the PDC there. 5.2 to lay on Betfair

    I'm under severe pressure this year, managed to back the winner the last 3 years

    As an avid follower of Utd i backed them not to finish in top 4,My reason is that Moyes is not the man and Having Evans,Smalling,Evra,Jones,Cleverly near the team is shocking.Arsenal are very solid in every position and should win the league .Arsenal overspent on Ozil he is not the player people make him out to be..

    OK first of all you don't even know the manager,or the players of united.how can you call yourself a fan? Allardyce manages united,and we certainly wouldn't have the likes of evans,smalling,Jones,cleverly playing for us.we have enough sh*ite already :)

    There's nothing in Taylor's quarter really, Andy Hamilton or Simon Whitlock in the semi will be his first real test.

    Edited to add: Roll on December 13th ;)

    We destroyed those Southampton freaks. Boruc, Oscar and Sturridge all injured, disaster for fantasy football. :(

    Not alone are the Sheiks outbidding everyone on the planet for yearlings and older [6m for a filly recently] they have just appointed Harry Herbert as one of their many managers.Coolmore have a very serious fight on their hands over the next number of years.

    Regarded as the best individual buyer of Yearlings around.Have a look at Highcleres record from when he started it,astonishing.Coolmore could not buy a speed horse to save their lives.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,669 ✭✭✭Colonel Sanders


    Just had my first proper beef stew in ages. Top notch.

    They do em sometimes in work but they're rubbish.

    Really?? He's 20 years in Highclere, i cant think of a lot of quality Highclere horses off the top of my head other than Harbinger and Motivator.

    Im not sure Coolmore ever go out of their way to buy speed horses though.

    Secret to a good stew is the meat.

    That 6 million filly any confirmation who it was bought on behalf of? Lots of rumors it was Coolmore but doesn't make a lot of sense them paying a blood stock agent

    Good meat, coated in flour, browned and then slow cooked in stew, nom, nom, nom.

    RP had a quote from the agent saying it was for Coolmore & she stays in training

    I thought Coolmore were the under bidders for her.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    No the Doyles bought her on behalf of them it has transpired

    I don't know what you expect a disadvantaged child to be able to buy for you, but good luck with it. :pac:

    I'd have sent it to the real Santa though. :cool:

    I was of the opinion Sheik Al Thani bought Chiquita for 6m With the Doyles as bidder.Demi O Byrne is the buyer for Coolmore so why use the Doyles who are the principle buyers for the Hannons.The underbidder I think was a Turkish syndicate with Coolmore dropping out early.I will be very surprised if she is not in training with Richard Hannon[jnr] next year.

    Ties you into a 2 month contract because you can't give them the 30 days notice.
