    Shed won fresh the previous 2 years so I doubt it was that

    She was a bit too keen in the first half of the race watching it back

      There was no doubt in my mind Balding had a concern pre race, I haven’t seen any post race comments (though I haven’t looked) but there’s no way they haven’t had some sort of setback before today…
      She should've been 4/9 against that lot 7/4 does suggest someone knew something was up

        I backed the second at 5/1 mid morning, had the shock of my life when I wandered through the ring to see he was a general 13/8 shot (drifted to around 2/1 at the off). So both the winner and runner up were very strongly fancied which will have contributed to Alcohol Frees drift…

            I'd be very concerned with his injury record with that bet to be honest. Not sure you can afford to miss many games and be top scorer in the PL.

              Id take him to score 25 in 30 which would be enough most years to be in with a shout. His injuries this calendar year I wouldn’t be to worried about as he knew he was on the move and may have missed games as a ‘precaution’ to him getting his dream move. And he’s getting a 4 week break in December whilst all other players are off to Qatar. If he continues his goal a game record which I think he could even better then I’m happy to take a punt at 3/1.

              He probably scores 40+ after GDC gets routed to the Ryanair

                Can remember my playing days local Sunday league. If you came up against someone quicker, more skilful than you,you gave them an early kick.
                Haaland will get a few early kicks.

                  Hoping he's another Timo Werner

                    Haaland is 6ft4, strong and absolutely rapid I think he'd cope with an early kick

                    Don't think you played anyone quite like him in Sunday league hahaha

                    • Even if he stays fit I'd have my doubts. But I didn't want to bring any opinion into it on a different sport than racing...

                      He's not managed 30 league games in his career I don't believe, and won't this year either. While never playing for teams that make it to the later stages of European competitions. I'd make the 30 league games odd against, before I got to the 25 goals.

                      GL though. Although I don't mean this if it results in City winning the league

                      On a positive note. Salah leaving or remaining out of form would take away what I assume is seen as his main rival. Not even sure where this market exists at the moment?

                      • I'm not convinced, he's very injury prone, German and Austrian football are completely different tactically to English football as they are much less physical and they play much higher up the pitch which means he can score a lot of goals being on the best teams in those leagues

                        • In fairness I reckon I'd get 4 a season playing up front in this City team

                            Why would that make him play less games? Not sure I follow any logic here.

                                More likely to get injuries due to him being injury prone playing in a more physical league
