Pardew will rightly get abuse the next time he is at WHL. The fact that he felt the need to make a statement to confirm it was a joke is of itself a joke.

Pardew is an idiot.

Pardew is an idiot.

The only thing we can cling to as a hope is how much Pardew hates Wenger.

Wigan might actually be worse than the 93/94 Swindon Town team at defending.

Defended well enough against a reasonable side on Sat. Just couldn't withstand the inevitable.....

Just hope that Pardew is a man of his word now!!

Saturday was the exception in recent weeks and Citeh were hardly at Solomon Burke levels of fecundity up front.

oooooooh    Solomon Burke ITT

For not having enough Englishmen in our team and for generously inviting him in to study our training sessions when he was a rookie manager at Reading.

Time to add to the ESC portfolio.

£10 Moldova @ 210 on Betty.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_zCXOPc7vo

Are you SERIOUS?

We just got Fred back on an even keel, some quality stuff coming through, & you want more of that Eurovision shite?

Anyway, I traced the price on Betty under "Novelty", they are now 140, presumably after an avalanche of £3 was placed on them.

Still a bet?

Happy to get on as a sort of spite bet.

Someone must've nicked the 210 then.

No to 140, ask for a tenner at 200 and leave it hanging bruh.

Can't think who that may have been.


Done, £10 @ 200. Do I need to tick "Cancel" or "Keep" or anything?

Not sure this should go on Spready yet, but Vince will know, & decide.

We have £10 @ 200, Betfair, Moldova, ESC (Unmatched).

The chorus of disapproval from affected teams, as well as calls from media and fans to do something about the high degradation tyres has led Pirelli to announce today that it is to make construction changes to its tyres from the Canadian Grand Prix in June onwards.

The Italian company is conducting meetings at its Milan base to establish whether any compound changes are required as well.

The news will come as a blow to Ferrari and Lotus, which mastered the delicate Pirelli rubber in Spain last weekend to take the podium slots, as well as Force India, but will be welcomed by the powerful lobby led by Red Bull and Mercedes calling for more durable tyres.

Accepting that four stop races, like Sunday’s Spanish GP are not acceptable, Pirelli’s Paul Hembery told Autosport today, “We never intended for there to be four-stop races, so we are going to make construction changes to the tyres. We will be taking some of the design of the 2013 tyres, but also some of the elements of the 2011 and 2012 products that served us so well during that period.

“We want to go back to having two or three stop races.”

It was telling that the TV coverage in the last two Grands Prix, produced by FOM, has broadcast numerous messages from drivers like Lewis Hamiton saying, “I can’t drive any slower” and engineers urging drivers to take it easy and protect the tyres. This has increased pressure on Pirelli and provoked a backlash in the media and among fans.

Having opted to be more aggressive in the 2013 tyre range, Pirelli is having to row back on that, citing the increased levels of downforce the teams have generated over the winter overstressing the tyres.

“It was a combination of factors that have come together, “Hembery added. “We didn’t want to make too many dramatic changes, and we do not want to penalise those teams that have taken a design direction to look after the tyres.

“Equally, we had to do something to improve the situation.”

Ideally what Pirelli should aim to do is recalibrate the tyre to maintain the current pace but with slightly less degradation and less wear, to trim it back to 2/3 stop races.

The development tyre tested out in Spain at the weekend was very slow, almost 2.5 seconds off the pace and with very poor warm up, so that is not the answer.

But it is never desirable to change fundamentals part way through a season and inevitably some teams will gain and others lose from this, which could cast a shadow over the outcome of the championship.

Ferrari, Lotus and Force India are entitled to feel aggrieved as they have engineered their car around the tyres that were handed out to all teams in testing and at the start of the season, but there are warning signs that fans are starting to turn away from the current style of racing.

Has to be good news for Vettel. Note Red Bull lobbying for the change

Red Bull v v dominant  in 11-12 on the former tyres and has the best aero package for durable tyres.

currently 11/8 for the title

http://www.oddschecker.com/motorsport/formula-one/drivers-championship

thread has £20 at 8/5

http://www.jamesallenonf1.com/2013/05/what-pirellis-mid-season-changes-will-mean/

"
Which teams will be most affected by these changes?
Thermal management of the tyre is the key this year and teams like Ferrari, Lotus and Force India have prioritised this in their 2013 designs. All three have good aerodynamics, but they have engineered in a way to keep the tyre in its ideal operating window by a combination of a stable aero map, a mechanical package which is in sympathy with the tyre and a good set-up.

Red Bull has very good aerodynamic package, as it has for many years now, but inferior mechanical package and thermal management of the tyres.

These weaknesses assume less importance with the changes Pirelli is making, they are likely to increase the operating window of the tyres and increase the durability and that reduces the importance of the thermal management."



Would liike to recommend the Vettel position is doubled (£20 more) at 11/8 in the light of this news

Boyle, VC or Wm Hill

ON, details to follow.

Thanks Tighty.

Some semi-inside info is that the Lords pitch for the first test against New Zeland on Friday is slow and low

The chances are that Bresnan plays ahead of Finn

It is a two test series, second test at Headingley which so far has seen scores of over 500 and 600 this season

The England top bowler market reflects conventional thinking. English summer, seam bowling etc

http://www.oddschecker.com/cricket/england-v-new-zealand/test-series/england-new-zealand-tests/top-england-bowler

However two games on a slow pitch and a batting paradise make me think we should be looking at Swann at 9/2

Anderson is priced up
Broad is priced up
Finn and Bresnan might not play two tests.

Swann will play both

Saw him last week and he is fit, and bowling with plenty of rotation on the ball. Was much missed against a left hander like Rutherford in the series earlier this year and will be the stock bolwer bowling a lot of overs on these wickets at these venues

Recommend £20 Swann top series bowler 9/2

Ooh, lovely.

We are on, details later.

Doh - haven't checked in, so many jobs to do.....I am an idiot.

I meant for you to place the bet.  Best now is 250/1 with Corals.  My man thought 300/1 was still value.  If you want a sweat and don't think 250/1 is value you can have £2.50EW of mine at 300/1 for Fred Morale - just add it to the slate not going to lose any sleep over a fiver .  If he wins youd be freerolling your 2% and some ha ha

Ahh, gotcha now.

Important Announcement


It would seem that I recently experienced some severe lapses of judgement, & placed some terrible bets.

They were all on the Eurovision Song Contest, which takes place this Saturday. The Sky Poker TV Channel expects record viewing audiences that evening, as viewers seek entertainnent of a higher calibre.

Fred has these positions, I am ashamed to report.


Sweden, £20 @ 12/1, Chompy (now 69/1)

Netherlands £10 @ 10/1, Chompy (now 36/1)

Moldova, £10 @ 199/1, Chompy (now 122/1)

On a brighter note, we also have.......


UK, 21st or lower, £4 @ 7/4, The Milkman

I have limited availability today and the prices aren't up yet on the chess in Norway.

Magnus Carlsen plays the comp's other Norwegian, John Hammer, today.

He is a distant bottom seed, although has managed one scalp so far.

Aronian played him yesterday. The price started (as White) at 1.952 but was 1.7 by the time the clocks were started.

If Carlsen is even money or better today, I would advocate a bet of £30. Colours matter little to Carlsen and there is a standard factor bookies tend to add to mean Black is a bigger price (think of him as a team that has a good away record).

Carlsen has won his last two games, including against the leader, and has closed the gap from two points to ½:

Price will appear here this morning. Leave it alone if it is <2
