Totally agree Bash!!

Bit of apples and pears being mixed up here. Kurtz the Younger started the season on a 7.54 average but ended it on 8.73, not 9.17. (9.17 is with the 5% guest uplift or coincidentally his 2015 average including BPs.) 1.19 is a good increase but not rocket ship. His away average without BPs was only 7.77, nearly 2 points down on his home average. For comparison, the much criticised Cookie increased his non-BP average by 1.16, so pretty much the same improvement. I agree that Mr. Kurtz needs to develop his racing brain but I don't think that will come more quickly at the drop clutch and twist throttle to max tracks like Somerset, Sheffield & Peterborough, even if he is entertaining to watch there. Just my opinion of course!!

Far too many "J"s in those lists.

Oh dear it's nearly that time then!! Yes as expected I feel very apprehensive about tonight's meeting. + = we are the better team + = we have experience of winning this stuff + = we have the inspiration that is Cookie - = we are away from home - = Tiggers are desperate to prove their investments are reaping the rewards - = mibbe just mibbe Sarj will get away with 7 "special" gates So I just don't know. I fear it might come down to tape breaks, engine failures, iced-up goggles - it's gonna be bl**dy freezing!! At least I'll be able to watch it unfold in the Chatroom in the warm, with a glass of something, with EastEnders on in the background, safe in the knowledge that even if we don't win tonight, we have tomorrow to recover. It'll be even more nerve-wracking tomorrow!! May the better team win and of course we all know we are the better team!!

Well I have sympathy for young Fish. Must be blooming painful.

I actually think Kurtz the Younger would benefit from a year at least at a smaller track.

Doesn't he want to ride in Poland next year?

Saving it till tomorrow MD!

Yeah right!

Would prefer it if he went EL full time so I don't have to watch him again.

Must be a nail on to sign for Scunny then.

Newman has signed for Devils again.

Did Rye sign his mother too?

Did I really write that? Wow! I'm impressed.

Ah but that was then - now I'm a happy go lucky Eastenders denier who really loves watching Ippo and thinks they always play by the rules and don't use guests every week unlike some!!

Really!! What did I say? Must have been something complimentary and nice as usual!!

Which team has to declare their lineup first?

I think Edinburgh have disproved this.

Golden heats would it not be? It's a might close!!

Think the 35,000 season ticket holders might disagree with you!!

Yep gone for the play-offs apparently. A 15 point max would make it all pretty close!!

What double point tactical joker thing is that then? This is the playoffs remember.

You got inside knowledge... bruv?

Ouch!!

Super result for Tiggers - well done. Long way to go before the tie is settled though. Kurtz minor off the boil or all down to bike problems?
