Being able to get a free programme from my uncle who was in charge of sales on match days ( not THAT uncle ESB )

The Daily Echo office having a "scoreboard" outside with the latest Saints score...... though maybe it's still there !? Going to the Dell and being able to watch the Reserves and get live updates on how Saints were doing AND a free programme ( albeit only 1/2 pages!).

Really can't get inspired at present so just taking the chance to utilise the free bet offers around and more to come no doubt with Royal Ascot next week Picked up 2 x £25 so far with just a loss of £10 and have another £25 with Bet Chronicle today which will cost a maximum of about £2.50 to receive ( had to place £25 at BC on any market at 2.00 or over so had Surrey to beat Essex tonight at exactly 2.00 and laid Surrey on BF, £25 at 2.01 so total liability is £27.50 ) Easy money! As for our furry friends I am interested in a few. Newb 14:00 Dortmund @7/4 Ran an eye catching race on debut and should improve on that and looks the one to beat. Though the going at Haydock was fast he's bred to enjoy cut in the ground so any rain will probably not do any harm. Yarm 14:10 Divine Call @5/2 : This William Haggas trained three year old colt came out of his debut run well and the drop back to six furlongs today should see plenty of improvement which can see him take the opener in the hands of Liam Jones. Newbury 14.30 First In The Queue @10/1 ( Victor Chandler) : Not an obvious choice but may be better than the form figures suggest. Ran too freely to post last time out and did well to finish 5th. Newbury 15.05 Eleanora Duse @11/4: This Listed race is well within the compass of Elanora Duse who finished within a length of Aviate in the Musidora Stakes at York. She should take this class drop in her stride under champion jockey Ryan Moore. - I do think Deirdre is a decent bet with William Buick on board. Yarm 16:25 Broughtons Point @9/2/Mediterranean Sea ew @ 10/1 : Broughtons Point has improved since switched to handicaps/upped in trip, and landed C&D event in March by 1½ lengths from Any Given Moment (1 lb worse off now). Fair efforts in defeat 2 starts since. Mediterranean Sea has won on last 2 starts though steps up in trip to 2m for the 1st timeso stamina has to be a concern though I think this is reflected fairly in the price.This is a tricky looking race though and Frankie's Uncle Keef should go well and at a big price Three Boars looks very interesting and I note that whilst Betfred go 33/1 he's as short as 14/1 with Stan James. Nottingham 16.35 Rasselas @ Evens NAP : Not a great price but the cash poured onto this one at Ripon last time only for him to catch a real tartar in Florentine Ruler. Connections were visibly stunned, as the colt had been showing enormous promise at home. He can now show those heavy losses to be merely lent. The Luca Cumani trained Rock N Roll Ransom on debut looks a good choice for the forecast and with him being an unknown quantity going to do a small reverse forecast as a saver as it's hard to make a case for anything else though with the benefit of 2 runs Defence of The Realm may go well at 16/1. Nottingham 17.40 Skyrider @ 5/1: Will be suited by the longer trip and hopefully will come on from 2 previous runs this season when still looking a bit keen ( finished 4th both times). Haydock 19.50 Song of Parkes @ 11/2: Looks sure to be suited by dropping back to 5 furlongs having looked impressive and consistent on 4 previous starts over 6/7f. Remains relatively unexposed and looks excellent value at 11/2. May have a few more later, good luck all. Chris

Well go ahead, just waiting to see if I'm right or not !

Different Ownership and Managment, same old summer
chrisobee replied to alpine_saint's topic in The Saints
So with Ostembor Sheffield Wednesday have signed THREE top class players already -
But you are indeed definitely wrong
-
No, I think for once you are pretty much spot on
-
Oh, just do it
-
Len Wilkins ? The only one who played for Saints but no other team.
-
Hurray

We will definitely sign a RB, CM and a striker IMO. I think it is clear those are the key areas we need to strengthen. Harding will however provide a good option for RB in the event of injury and he/Dickson might even be able to play together with one in a more advanced role. Whatever the case the more options the better obviously.

In this case I'm happy to believe the echo !
