Ended up having singles and a double on pyledriver and loves only you in the 8:30 so with the Japanese filly winning pyledriver getting done in the last 50 metres having looked the winner is a bit of a gut punch

Don't think this has been mentioned already, but Rachael Blackmore is up for sports personality of the year. After the festival she gave us, I think she has definitely earned a few of our votes...

Ah ok, fair enough.
stiil find it laughable that he got in the final 6 though.

Wouldn’t say it’s laughable IMO. Arguably our star player in England’s best performance in a major tournament since 66 puts him in the conversation I’d say.

I was surprised not to see Hamilton in there though having said that.

People moan about RS a lot, i personally dislike the chap being an LFC supporter, but there's no doubt when it's come to competition football he's got England the goals when it's mattered more often than not.

I assume LFC meant Liverpool and a bitter fan for him following the oil money...

….as somebody who has played at Anfield & Filbert St (that’s how old I am), I was teasing a little. I like Sterling lots, though, and don’t think he went to City solely for the money.

Good old Filbert Street, lots of fond memories there from my childhood. I know time moves on and the club has moved on too, but it still makes me sad that it's just gone now...
