Sorry I thought it was Thomas/Richards http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-90150594.html

Dont mention that Horse as I had backed Honey End and Josh Gifford that day

What about Arkle brilliant Horse So was Nijinsky and Lester In athletis Bob Beamon jumped a huge distane over 29 feet I think in 1968 Olympics

My favorite happened 1986 in West Indies GREG THOMAS TO VIV RICHARDS (AFTER BEATING HIM FIVE TIMES ON THE TROT) You seem to have trouble locating the ball. Let me help you - it's red and looks like this VIV TO GREG (AFTER BELTING HIM OUT OF THE GROUND NEXT BALL FOR SIX) You know what it looks like, you go and fetch it

Clark is an excellent batsman I wish he could play for us

I think Strauss made the correct decision but should have batted a further 15 overs as discussed earlier It was possible but highly unlikely for Australia to get the runs in six sessions

Sir Roger Bannister breaking the 4 minute mile

So what is your point

Well if he wants away he should play better

The academy has produced good players surely Bale Walcott McGoldrick Cranie Mills James Surman Poke Howard Davies Baird Blackstock prove that

Thats the word I have been looking for awareness The team last season lacked awareness completely

If you are still unwell and have nothing better to do perhaps you could find him some suitable properties for him What areas would you like him to live in so he can snoop on the players Perhaps Chilworth as I saw Claus at the Clump/Chilworth Arms as it served a nice pint of London Pride when I was last there

I think it depends a lot on family circumstances to some extent I would have thought if his children are in the important stages of their education I would not expect him to move but if not he probably will. I dont think where he lives at the moment matters a toss what matters is him getting the team sorted out for the new season and a getting a good group of coaches in place. I notice he is first team manager who now is in charge of the Academy?

Deciding on the players he wants to keep and bringing in new players

Have a good time I think the time you are on holiday is going to be very important getting in new players and trying to get the team to gel If we do not starting winning quickly things will not be looking good

Yes but like the really big clubs they have fans everywhere

Why will that show he is committed If I got a job in Portsmouth I would not want to live there

I remember seeing him scoring in 2006 quite a talented player apparently http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2002/jun/10/worldcupfootball2002.sport34 Strachan also did not want Kevin Davies who I always thought was a lot better than Ormeroyd

Yes I agree lets let Pardew sort out who he wants and go on from there I would have thought

Yes could be what is current situation?

I must admit I would rather take the guidance of Football Professionals who have offered them contracts than fans

I think Hull have the same idea http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/gossip_and_transfers/8157807.stm

I think he scored in both 2002 and 2006

Not a really sensible and tolerant post I would have thought

Just give him a chance he does have potential We are supposed to give the players more confidence not reduce it
