No houses ?

Well maybe it does when said poster uses 2 of his 3 daily posts to repeat it ! In fact has now used all 3 so that is that until tomorrow at least

Great start, we are 31/2 off 6 overs ! Carberry and Adams both out for 1, Vince 26* Ervine 2*.

Force

But actually it seems we are naive, in need of serious help blah blah blah !? What a load of cobblers from people who really should know better.

Methinks you love stirring TBH

What are you blathering on about now Mr Pedant extraordinaire

Fascinating stuff !! Anyway it is still: Mounties......

Mounties!

Fickle or what

Keep up

Though it seems this was not in the previous reply : "We remain more than happy to work closely with the chairman, but her prefers to talk to Radio Solent. " Let's get things stirring again, no news to report HER !?

Many thanks for your email and comments regarding the Daily Echo and its Saints coverage. Obviously we do not feel happy when some Saints fans become upset over our coverage. However, it is difficult to see how we could have reported these matters in any different manner. The facts are that the speculation regarding the future of Alan Pardew was started by Radio Solent quoting a source at the club close to the owner. The club and Radio Solent, as you no doubt know, have a financial arrangement so we can take what they say as an official view. This speculation was taken up by national newspapers and elicited a strong response from such Saints legends as Matt le Tissier, Kevin Keegan and so on. The Daily Echo sought clarification from the club day after day. We wished to put the rumours to bed and move on with positive news. A simple vote of confidence from the chairman would have quelled the rumours - this was not given. Yesterday, as you know, the chairman issued a statement on the matter and attacked us as well as others. The only media he did not attack was Radio Solent who began the rumours and speculation in the first place. Now, some might say we could have, should have kept quiet and not reported on the whole matter, but that would be extremely unfair. Why should the Daily Echo, alone of all media, have to keep quiet on such an important issue to the fans? Why should Radio Solent, paid for by your licence fee, be allowed to start rumours and then escape any blame? Why indeed... I believe we acted responsibly throughout and gave every opportunity for the club to put the record straight on rumour and speculation we did not start. Some are telling us that the chairman only backed down over sacking his manager because of the publicity given to Pardew's cause and the support he received from sports legends, the media and of course the vast vast majority of the fans. I cannot speculate on that of course. I hope that sets out a little clearer what has taken place. Many thanks for taking the time to contact me.

Was posted several hours ago wasn't it ?

Well you noticed it and I noticed that you noticed it. Conclusion is we are both far too sensible to post on here as clearly is hamster

Point is made, we don't know for sure.........unless someone here is truly ITK !!!

The only thing I'm certain of is that nobody on here is certain of anything TBH ! That said I am certain that I'm glad of the outcome regardless of whether NC changed his mind or he didn't !

Don't look at the Ladbrokes site, more likely Timeform to try to give me some idea about a horse/race I hadn't even looked at. Then again maybe Ladbrokes use Timeform as well :smt102

Just a few more to look at: 2.10 - York - Hanoverian Baron -@ 8/1 (Sportingbet): Hanoverian Baron has taken his form to a new level for his current yard where he has posted progressive form in three handicaps since being stepped up to ten furlongs. His breeding has always suggested that middle distance may suit and his performance on his reappearance at Epsom over 10 furlongs last month was highly creditable. he was a clear second to the highly progressive Alainmaar (winner again since), who holds Group Entries, and had the like of Indian Days ( 2nd here on Wed I think ?) and Tartan Gunna behind. The performance can be rated even better because the selection didn't seem to enjoy the track once he was asked to chase the winner. The step up to 12 furlongs here could see him progress again and the two pound rise he has incurred looks fair. The only concern is the fast ground which he encounters. His two victories last season came in ground with cut and he has disappointed on G/F ground. However he did run the subsequently top class Casual Conquest to within a head as a Juvenile on faster ground in Ireland. 4.35 Newbury - Red Courtier - ew @ 11/1 (General) : Three year old handicaps at this time of year are not always appealing due to the unknown improvement individuals can make. However Red Courtier was quite a progressive Juvenile last season and he showed he had trained on when finishing on the heels of the placed horses on his reappearance at Newmarket 12 days ago. He has the scope for physical improvement and it's highly likely he will benefit from that opening run. He stuck to his task well in the closing stages and the step up in trip today could see him progress again. The form of that Newmarket race could turn out to be strong and the only doubt is his ability to handle quicker conditions. Being by Red Ransom it shouldn't be a problem and his Dam was versatile regarding ground conditions. 4.45 - Newmarket - Ramona Chase - @ 6/1 (General) :Two seasons ago Ramona Chase was giving Conduit and Heaven Knows a race but the key to him has always been getting him to settle. He normally races like a nutter and, hence, he has only won one of his 35 outings. However, partnered by today's lady rider for the first time at Windsor earlier this month, he was much calmer. It resulted in a cracking effort to get within a length of the winner of a very decent handicap for it's class. Today's affair is weaker and is probably the easiest assignment he has ever faced. It's anyone's guess if he consents to co-operate again but, if he does, he definitely has the ability to win from his current mark at this level. 8.25 - Newcastle - Kiwi Bay NAP - @ 3/1 (General) At York in the 3.45 Diman Waters is likely to be a lot of peoples banker. Confirmed reappearance promise when running away with Haydock handicap last month. Ran a cracker from out of handicap at Chester and clearly the one to beat here off 6 lb lower mark. However, 6/4 might be short enough.

A few positives above might give you a clue ?

Ok, been backed already but 8/1 is still a decent price. Could be another of those horses specifically aimed at winning at a decent price. Ran as though it still hadn't overcome whatever it was that kept him off the track for nearly a year when running a stinker when stepped up to 6f last time at Windsor, so has a bit to prove, but the drop in trip will suit, as will this fast ground. Still a risky bet UNLESS the connections are truly ITK !!
