Mousetrap: I have just heard a funny little story with my dads horse le Duke, he was falling off and he shouted to the other jockey on the horse next to him, to push him back on, he did, bt he fell off the other side LOL

Mousetrap:
please tell me no horses were shot this year

Oceans Apart: LOL!

"Snoopy": I have no doubt horses have been shot this year in other races before this one. I don,t know about this one. It can happen in any race I,m afraid.

Mousetrap:
yes i know its a sad fact of racing
the only reason i asked was i was just about to watch the replay and wanted to know before hand

"Snoopy": I don,t know. I userally pick the Sunday paper up the day after and read about how they all did in it then.

Oceans Apart: The first time I ever went to the Grand nat it was the year Little Polvier won. I had the first 3 horses in the right order on a trio and I won about 55 quid. Unfortunately it was a combination bet and if I had just done a straight trio I would have won £3000. I have never done it since lol! But I have been 4 times.

"Snoopy": Nope, no Horses were shot or injured this year.

Right , i'm off to have a basinful of the football.....wish me luck oh and Watford

Oceans Apart: LOL! What happend with the football? I have,nt followed t since George Best played.

Mousetrap: lol we lost 1-4, but Watford played well in the second half, we just couldnt keep our defence together

Oceans Apart: so is it now a Man U and Chelses final?

"Snoopy": Well yes, if Chelsea beat Blackburn tomorrow, gawd how boring lol

Oceans Apart:
dont like to say i told ya so but i will anyway

Oceans Apart: I had silver Birch
Sitting in our local club with George the 'Bookie' as we call him even though he is a postman LOL i had already backed my 3 horses, but just before the race went off reading through the racing paper a guy mentioned Silver Birch as an e/w bet, so i had a 1 e/w on him with George
OK its only 43 pound, but it was a huge profit..........out for a beer today me think

Well isn't Hamilton doing well another 2nd place for him he is tying for no 1 spot at the mo too. Well done

Summer Flame: WOw, he is doing well isnt he. Good luck to him

Oceans Apart: Yep he is. Better than Jensen and coulthard put together

Summer Flame: I wonder if he winges like Wenger when he dont get top spot

Oceans Apart: LOL probably

Watford 0-1 Man City

Oceans Apart: Its not over yet :o(
Dont you have to win though to stay up ?

MadMonkey: Yeha we do , and we have jsut equalised

stupid banana still wont dance

Oh well we have jsut been relegated

Well done boys you did your best, and there is always next season, but you have done us fans and your Manager proud.

Oceans Apart: aww sis

LIVERPOOL IS IN! :-)

Now who will take the Man U - AC Milan portion? AC Milan has a chance, but can they do it!?

rednaz23: I tink it will be a cracking game, if it is Liverpool Man U final

Oceans Apart: I think it will be great... I am looking forward to it. I guess we will see tomorrow if Man U makes it in, I think they will.

I am looking forward to the final!

Once again i'm smashed by the intelelect of a great manager called Sir Ferguson with his tactics on tonight's game.
The man once again made history... How can a team with so many stars, make a lousy game?
The answer is wrong players, wrong tactic and an absolutly lack of understanding of the game.
Congratulations Mr. Ferguson

Nuno Miguel:

WELL DONE to Lewis Hamilton on winning the Canadian Grand Prix

Lewis Hamilton won the Canadian GP, in Montreal, today, taking his maiden Grand Prix victory for McLaren-Mercedes in only his sixth start(One first, two seconds & three third places now, not bad eh). Nick Heidfeld finished second in the BMW-Sauber, while Alexander Wurz took third place in his Williams-Toyota.

Heikki Kovalainen in the Renault was fourth, Kimi Raikkonen in the Ferrari was fifth, Takuma Sato in the Super Aguri-Honda was sixth, Fernando Alonso in the second McLaren-Mercedes was seventh and Ralf Schumacher in the Toyota took the final point.

Rosert Kubica has been taken to the L'Hopital du Sacre-Coeur de Montreal in the downtown area for tests following his enormous crash in the Canadian Grand Prix. The Polish driver is reported to have a broken leg, but is conscious and talking. Kubica hit the wall at high speed (160+) on lap 27 while he was fighting for 13th place with Jarno Trulli. The collosal impact, on the right side of the track in the fast left-hander before the hairpin, catapulted the car back across the track , coming to rest on its side at the hairpin.
He was extracted from the car eight minutes after the crash.
