Pete's Sports Bar.

Not guilty on the barcardi and I did leave an IOU for the brandy I'll pay up when I go for my pension not been to the bank this week good job my credit is good,mind you did seem to have alot of IOU's on the side of the till ? You'll have to restock for the replay next Wednesday my mate Jose could be in with a chanse of The Euro Cup if things go well ? what a manager pity your lot never went for him Pete

Cleaner? that's a straggler....keep finding them under the snooker table. The brandy and the Bacardi are getting low...can't understand it

Just fancy a quick drink and a bit of a rest,the weather has been dry so will have a swing in the hammock for a short while,must be careful not to nod off though as I will still be here in the morning when the cleaner arrives.

Happy days! And yes, the only way is up...

Well I did say ages ago that Maurhino was the man for the job but Man Utd never listened to my expert advice I only wanted him there so I could and see him in action so to speak !!
As for Tranmere well what can you say ?
I'll have a large coffee this morning with a slice of cherry bakewell I made some last night and brought some over to stock up the tin oh and a small drop of Brandy in that coffee will certainly cheer it up a bit as it is 6 o'clock somewhere in the world.

Pete The only way is UP!!!

Ohhhh Pete!....Laughing or crying!

glam walkabout is about right......think I know a man for Tranmere

What would your boss fancy,a ploughmans lunch?

boheminan I'm thinking the boss has gone walkabout or trying out a new wateringhole to drown his sorrows about the poor performance of his team but he will bounce back again when he misses our banter & humour.Do you not find the pork scratchings a bit on the stale side I think he bought a job lot of them off the back of a van

Quiet in here tonight innit. HELLO??? ANYBODY HERE? I'll have a pint of vodka with three cherries on sticks (feeling posh tonight) and a packet of pork scratchings PE-R-EESE!

Pete It doesn't look as though Everton are missing your Manager does it ? not to worry mate !!
(as she ducks back behind sofa)

Oh Pete, sweetikins, never give up!

Nonu the bugger qualified, and I suppose that's that! I personally was heard to shout "Goodness me! That's a surprise and no mistake!" Well, something anyway when young H Brooke got carted off as Tidal Bay (I think) followed a loose one over to the stand side rails!

And yes, Nonu the chaps were miffed enough to all refuse to attend a stewards enquiry!

Notice though, as after every race, they all shake hands and congratulate each other? Good sportsman like behaviour, and none of that bloody spitting!

That's it....I give up.

Why ,why on God"s sweet earth was "Battle Group" even allowed to participate.
What happened could have been foretold, it was a bloody shambles IMO.
I do believe everyone was deeply unhappy !

Yeah, football's for wimps! Darts, on the other hand - now there's a game fraught with danger...

"Football" ????????

Football is good glam

Big match on Weds.... then darts

Having just reread what I'd written about the race over the past few months I'd said when the weights came out that it was interesting that Dr Newland and Fergal had both got runners and that I'd resolved to follow their horses this season. Thankfully I followed my own advice but also backed far too many others to make much of a profit. So happy to see the horses come back safe. I still think McCoy is far too hard on horses but Paul gave Alvarado, who's a little monkey, a peach of a ride. Now for the Scottish!

A really good result and thank goodness no casualties just my type of horse to be named after a wine so I'll have a large one please or a bucket as I feel much better today and really fancy a drink or three.
How's the Footie going Pete I haven't been keeping up with what has been going on and who scored what or missed what,is Moylsie still your Manager just ducking back behind the curtain in case those darts happen to come my way.

A good National, all horses home safe! So very chuffed for Richard Newland, his first National entry, and a win!

I have been saying for a couple of years that if I ever won the lottery I would buy a racehorse and have Dr Newland as trainer, he only has 12 in training at any one time and I love his approach.

Right....my 25p each way is on...Monbeg Dude.

Any thought ??????????
have a notion for Geraghty , and SAM.
Still, whatever is your fancy .
Bon Chance and fingers crossed !

Thanks for that , will see what the conditions are overnight !
I also thought it very touching he had his brother"s name on his saddlecloth !
