He's good at producing teams that play good football BUT they tend to sit back when infront and will get punished if they do that in the Premiership.

Both grounds are dual purpose but Swansea's is like a Billiard table even if the Ospreys have played there the night before unless Wigan sort theres out the passing game he likes may be compromised.

Celtic I could understand but Wigan is a bit of a hiding to nothing as take Bruce for example Birmingham....Wigan.....Sunderland in 5 years is hardly shooting up the managerial ladder at a dramatic rate.

Taken some 50's about Summer Bird for the final leg of the US Triple Crown - the Belmont Stakes on Saturday night, he's a top priced 20/1 now and I still think that's about 8 or 10 points too big, he's a bit of a plodder but is one of the few guaranteed stayers in the field and is a big price.

Gone with The Miniver Rose each way in the Oaks tomorrow, was impressed with her very early this season - the run behind Nehaam and Monitor Closely looked decent at the time and I think they can bring her back to peak on Friday

I had Detroit to win pre-season. Says they won the series on the official site, but I've got a nasty feeling it's from last year.

As nothing is on here I'm guessing he didn't make the final.

At least my featherstone bet came off though
