Lee, how are you?
I'm really good, thank you. Suffering a little bit post-Cheltenham COVID or something, but you know, cowboys don't cry, do they? So I enjoyed my week. i'm just struggling this week it's a man flu you can tell the truth yeah uh quietly in the break there shane was like i had a great chat i'm like he's literally the only person i know who finished up we had a few people though i think there were a few people who backed uh bigger price each race selections had really good weeks we had some incredible hackers that were landed but there just weren't many of them yeah i think on the wednesday And like, I don't know if you've got violins under the desk for the punters there, but I think we had the best Cheltenham day we've ever had on the Wednesday.
So on day two, which is incredible. But yeah, one for the bookies it was in the end.
Yeah, yeah. Shane had a 50 to one.
What are the predictions for Tottenham vs. Nottingham this weekend?
Yeah. Which he just picked up in the paper. I was like, oh, I like the sound of that.
I belong to Chernie if I've reached way on the 50s. Yeah, yeah. And then Gaelic Warrior, of course, in the Gold Cup. Not a bad Friday. Yeah.
Nah, decent. I got wiped out, which meant I ended up stupidly panicking, cashing in my Aston Villa not to finish in the top four bet before they lost to Man United. I was like, oh my God. Anyway, they're back now. They won last night and John McGinn is back and Tielemans is back and they're going to go on a rampage. They're going to finish third. Anyway, I won't regret that until the day I die. Where should we start this week? Our live game on Sunday is actually one of the most interesting games of the season.
Yeah, Spurs-Forest 2-15. I mean, this is the sort of game, I suppose, that could go very south very quickly for either team. But Spurs at home doesn't necessarily mean it's an advantage for them recently.
No, no, definitely not. I mean, I was looking at some of the stats around their season and the run that they're on. Longest winless stretch in league football since 1935. Haven't beat Burnley or West Ham.
What challenges is Manchester United facing in their away match?
We were right down there. Won one Premier League game since the end of August. Drawn four, lost nine. Collected the fewest points of any top flight side this term. 10 points. I mean, it's just, it's abject, isn't it? And there's been like a bit of a, suddenly there's since the Liverpool draw and the winning midweek, there's a slight change, isn't it? Like, oh, maybe you're starting to turn things around. I mean, Liverpool were pretty poor. And I mean, they were already, they'd already lost that game. they're just like yeah if you score we'll just score one just to keep near you they lost 7-4 on aggregate I'm not sure you can take that as a moral victory for Igor Tudor but we'll see I just think there's more fight in Forest surely surely there's got to be more fight in them than there is in Tottenham but they're going to have to do something soon aren't they otherwise they are
I mean, if West Ham, it's a big if, if West Ham won at Villa and Tottenham failed to get a result at home to Forest, then serious. Yeah, it's getting really serious then. Forest are the interesting ones. They're like, we've kind of taken Burnley and Wolves out of the relegation betting now, but so you've got West Ham being favourites, then Tottenham, then Forest at 5-2. Um, so Forrest might be the value again, if Tottenham do win here and West Ham don't get beaten, then, you know, Forrest might be the value to go down at this stage, but you know, it's fascinating. I've kind of, you know, because Arsenal have seemed to have almost got the title wrapped up in a, in a weird way. I'm kind of enjoying the relegation battle more than I'm enjoying the top of the table at the moment.
Yeah, it feels that way.
