Seeing as it is a bank holiday here and I want to shoot off to the pub now, I’m going to keep this short.
First up we have last week’s winner of the €/£30 free bet, who could be none other than Karl and his almost tender entreaty on behalf of ex-footballers who have fallen on hard times.
The €/£10 free bets go to dee cregan for making me think less unfavourably about Ronaldo and Michael R for moaning about having to watch sport in his native language. The usual suspects contributed the usual quality rants by I do have to spread the free bets out a little but you’re all back in contention this week, no matter how many free bets you’ve won…Davey J 
There were a lot of Liverpool and Rooney rants, many of which I enjoyed, but to avoid a week of repitition I shall be awarding no free bets to rants on those topics over the next seven days, plus in an attempt to mix try and broaden the horizons of the ranting, the winner next week will be someone who takes on something a little bit different. Or at least something which doesn’t get covered to exhaustion by everyone else.
So get ranting and if I’m especially blown away this week I’ll double the first prize, otherwise it’ll be a €/£30 free bet for the rant of the week, with the usual, random number of €/£10 free bets for the runners-up. All you have to do is give your point of view on, well, whatever the hell you want really, make it funny, heart-felt, passionate but most of real and you could win yourself a free bet. Don’t forget to include the email address you have registered with your Paddy Power account so I can accredit the free bet.
I’m sure you were happy that Carlton House failed to land the Derby today, seeing as it was sent off as the 5/2 Fav but I was slightly pissed off as that’s where my money had gone!
In fairness, the sight of young Barzalona standing up in the stirrups, before he’d even reached the winning post, was enough to make me think that it was money well spent as this finish gave me a great giggle and I was delighted to see it unfold on my TV screen – the slo-mo footage was even better!
What pissed me off most was having to watch it on BBC and having to listen to the ridiculous waffle from Little and Large aka Carson and Balding! Making the excuse that Carlton House had been forced too wide entering the straight, even though the eventual winner had gone even wider, really annoyed me!
I’m glad that the Beeb have only got limited coverage of the Sport of Kings because these two sycophantic twats would turn me off racing if they were the only pundits I had to listen to!
Give me At The Races and Channel 4 Racing any day of the week.
