Tony the Bookie likes to think of himself as a Karaoke buff. Anytime we’re out and about, he will pick up the mic and slaughter any number of songs. His favourite tune to massacre is Teenage Kicks by The Undertones. Think of an even more monotone version of it than the original and you get the picture. Now… Read More »
This is the last round of fixtures before the latest international break and managers, players and fans – not to mention punters – will be looking for a good weekend of Premier League action.

With six games of the season gone the league table is beginning to look decidedly disappointing for fans of Man United and very exciting for Everton and Saints supporters.

I’ve mentioned this before, but when it keeps happening to you, you start to question yourself and your methods! On Saturday, we saw both Doc Hay and Dungannon win, 2 horses I backed last time out and both whom I didn’t back on Saturday. And yes Mr Hulmes text me to say thanks.

Well, Chapter Seven tuned up perfectly for the Cambridgeshire last Saturday with an excellent second at Newbury. That race will have put him spot on for the big one this week. Now in the words of Tinie Tempah “Let it rain, let it pour.” There’s a guy who’s been coming in to Tony the Bookies’ shop for 5 years now,… Read More »
You gotta love the WWE haven’t you? There is blatant sexism, racism, ageism and every other ism you can think of and yet it is the longest running episodic tv show in history!

Four weeks into the campaign and the top of the table already has a familiar look, with the “big” six clubs occupying what they view as their rightful places. With Everton up to ninth after a fine win over Chelsea last weekend it won’t be long before the top seven we expect to see come May have all… Read More »
“Just a quick one today”said The Good Lady, (as opposed to a marathon session) as we entered the shops! Super, the Kerry National is on in about 10 hours and I’m likely to be stuck here trying on 17 versions of the same top in 10 different shops and then returning to the first shop to buy the… Read More »
