I would not get 8/1 on that. I don't think England will beat Ireland today (or beat France) but if they win today they are a better team than I thought and will then have areal chance of beating France and will be quite short odds, so I thought now was the time to take the 8/1. If they are good enough to beat France in Paris they will def beat Ireland today, so the two go together.

Very good odds I agree but I am a Kauto fan and a Ruby Walsh fan. Tony McCoy sometimes does not do the business when on a top chance horse for some reason. Ruby is a cool head and I think he knows Kauto's perfect cruising speed. McCoy may have pushed Denman too hard so he was uncomfortable and slipped up?

They won't beat Ireland (hopefully) but if they do they are a real grand slam chance. If England don't win today I won't bother hedging for the final game as I just could not then see England improving sufficiently to win in Paris.


Both bets placed will win me over ?200 so I'm happy to have hedged a bit.


No grand slam is not attractive - its good odds cos everyone knows France will win it now :))

Looks good but too late am on way to game. Will look at it again after todays result but my thought is that if england lord today them they will not beat france but their odds may lengthen for the france game after if they lord today. Think declan has i point they could lose their last 3 games or win them all cos noone really knows how good or bad this england team is .

To football...I have ?100 on an England vs Egypt draw at 7/2 and a twenty on an Egyptian win at 7-1.


Egypt looked very strong in the Africa Cup (which they recently won) but have not qualified for the World Cup and keen to show they are still strong...England trying out a few things in prep for the WC, Terry affair, restless expectant crowd .


Basically I'm backing Egypt for a result with this one.....

Do you mean 7/1 or 7 decimal? You can't guarantee a decent or indeed any profit (I think)...you've got ?350 to cover


Arsenal have some easy games approaching...maybe leave it and then lay them if they get expected results. You could also bet Man U on individual games as they're your biggest problem...but you're going to be down if Chelsea win too! I'd just stay with what you've got to be honest.

I will hope to make sufficient profit from backing Rangers to win the next Old Firm game to pay for the champagne. As long as one of Walters brothers is referring again I should make a tidy profit and you should be able to get merrily drunk on my winnings. (wink)

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
