With the jumps season just about to come alive I thought it about time to start the annual Cheltenham build up thread. Just watched Thistlecrack make a very decent start over fences winning easily on the bridle at Chepstow. Third Intention won the Old Roan on Saturday past whilst Sire De Grugy...
The biggest two weeks of the tennis calendar are fast approaching and today the draw was made for the main draw of The Championships. Andy Murray will play Daniel Gimeno Traver in his opening round match, defending champion Rafael Nadal will play Michael Russell, Roger Federer faces Mikhail...
Who wins?
Who's your tip to win it? Choose your favourite and a rank outsider, say lower than 40/1 in the rankings. I'm going for Justin Thomas and Brian Harman https://www.oddschecker.com/golf/the-masters/2018-us-masters/winner
I thought this would be a good time to start this thread after an informative weekend of NH racing. What's the feeling on Sprinter Sacre ? Faugheen 15/8 for the Champion Hurdle, value ?
The final Grand Slam of the season starts on Monday and Andy Murray has been paired against Lukas Rosol in round one. If it goes to form, his path to the final would be; Round one - Lukas Rosol Round two - Marcel Granollers Round three - Gilles Simon Last 16 - Feliciano Lopez Quarter...
Just got underway at Edgbaston. England 28-1, Cook out for 13, spin strikes again.
Sorry if already posted, but this deserves a thread, or possibly a whole forum, to itself: https://twitter.com/SkyCricket/status/1310258272348274690
So the opening day has come and gone (I didn't bother starting this during Spring Training and the WBC as I've otherwise been busy) the past 2 days and the Summer sport is underway (if only the weather would now join it - looked positively freezing, particularly in Minnesota last night!). Houston...
The third Grand Slam of the season begins tomorrow and Novak Djokovic will be looking to defend the title that he won for the first time in 2011. He is first on Centre Court tomorrow against former world number one, Juan Carlos Ferrero, which will start at 1pm. Roger Federer is also playing...
Scotland 76-0 after 11 overs. Looks like a great wicket for batting on.
So not long to go now until the battle commences. Thoughts on how it will go? For me the US are favourites and I think it will be close until the singles with the US storming away with it on the final day. Too many inexperienced and out of form players in the European team.
Going Thursday and Friday on the hospitality :cheers: Bets placed already £25 e/w on Jordan Spieth @ 13/2; and £25 e/w (free bet) on Oosthuizen @ 25 /1 Cannae wait..
Potentially tricky first tie for Gary Anderson, last on tonight v Adrian Lewis.
Well, the NFL got underway last night with the Tennessee Titans hosting the Pittsburgh Steelers, with the Steelers edging the opening game 13-10, in what was a very subdued affair. The bulk of the fixtures start on Saturday evening, with Sky beginning their coverage on Sunday. Can't wait...
Anyone like ice Hockey? :greengrin
One of my favourite two weeks of the year is almost here and the excitement is building after the draw has now been made. Despite the controversy surrounding this year's tournament before a ball has been served, due to the All England Club's decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players from...
Anyone else enjoy Aussie rules; perhaps some Hibees who now live out there? I'm not into American sports, such as NFL and baseball, but I've really gotten into Aussie rules in the past couple of seasons and have adopted St Kilda (perennial underachievers with one title in their history) as my team...
Off to a flyer with the games tonight. All the games were decent, but the final match between MVG and Klassen was the highlight. There was no handshake at the start or at the end, they obviously don’t like each other and MVG confirmed that in his interview. Klassen could and should be a top ten...
The fourth and final Grand Slam of 2012 will begin in just under an hour. We have three out of the big four arriving in New York with Rafael Nadal once again absent from the entry list as he continues his recovery from a knee injury that his kept him out since Wimbledon two months ago now. ...
Less than 2 weeks till opening day at Dalkeith B.C. it's been a long winter! When's the rest of your greens opening?
Can't believe its time for the first major of the Season. Coverage of all days on Sky (including 3D) with BBC covering Saturday and Sunday nights. Unfortunately I can't see beyond Tiger but would love a European win. Saw an advert on TV about some bookie giving refunds on other players if Tiger...
It’s here. It’s the only thing I ever have a punt on. I love a wee interest on it. Who we all on? Heres my picks with sky bet. Thy are paying 10 places at those odds. Fowler win 14/1 McIlroy win 7/1 Casey e/w. 25/1 Molinari e/w 18/1 Koepka e/w 25/1 Leishman e/w 45/1 Hoffman e/w 80/1
Who do you fancy for the Open next weekend? McIlroy is favourite, but I'm not sure he's worth a punt these days. Paddy Power and Coral are offering 10 EW places, with Bet365 paying 8, but maybe with slightly better odds. I don't bet much, but I like a small wager on the Open.
In no particular order although number one is undoubtedly football (and has been been since the day I was born :greengrin) Im going Football Cricket Boxing Rugby American football
Ok Lads, I know the season has not started yet, still about 6 weeks away for us, but nothing like forward planning eh! I was thinking of arranging the re-match of our game last year for around about June 20th/27th depending on our greens availabilty and what all your guys plans are around that...
Is this really a thing? And if so what is it? A mma or a boxing matchl
Decent start by the Windies, currently 123-1 pushing on for halfway through the first day. A quickfire 44 from debutant John Campbell was a good entrance into Test cricket. The Windies now have Braithwaite and Hope at bat. I really like Shai Hope, he's a great young batsman with huge...
Andy Murray just starting against Stefanos Tsitsipas. Not expecting too much here, if Murray wins a set he'll be doing well. Dan Evans has just beaten Thiago Monteiro in 4 sets. Murray is live on Amazon Prime for anyone who is interested.
Is this a real fight then or a hype job to sell tickets and PPV? Last week was built up to be a genuine fight and turned into an ok boxer smashing Mr Blobby. To the proper.boxing people in here, what do you think?
Anyone been watching? Personally really enjoy watching the snooker and the World Championships is one of my favourite two weeks of the sporting year. Three names into the Quarter Finals already and two of them have been performing at this level for around 30 years - Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark...
Great win for Scotland today over Ireland 27-22. Hard fought and plenty of guts on display. :aok: England sneak home against France 19-16. Great start to the tournament. Bonus points on offer for more attacking rugby. Going to be a great 5 weeks of rugby viewing.
ANyone else think it's going to miss the roided out Russians?? Being in Sweden it's always quite a big event as they generally do well. Looking forward to it think the ioc have bottled it a bit with letting the Russians compete under non country rules.
Could be.
Right who's taking part this year? Please apend names below: Me:agree:
So we're on to another year and although it's a couple of months till it starts proper the mild weather is giving us a chance to get rid of the cobwebs. Just had a round with hibbyradge (cheers bigman, thoroughly enjoyed it) and there was a few signs to make me optimistic for the coming season....
Bazball's irresistible force meets Smith & Labuschagne's immovable objects. This should be one that lives up to the hype. I have a sneaky feeling the Aussies will edge it due to the aforementioned duo and an attack England will have trouble whacking around the ground. :hmmm:
Starts tonight. Guess : Australia 2, England 2!
Few surprises already in the Province Championships, especially with Cavan beating Monaghan! Been some very entertaining football on show, looking forward to Mayo vs Roscommon next weekend with two very good sides hopefully going at it hammer and tongs. Live on Sky Sports as well
Just around the corner. Scotland have never failed to make the quarters though it will be a tough ask being in the same group as Argentina and England. Well looking foward to it, starts September 9th I believe
