Washout Sunday

A bit of a so so day today, with the weather seeming to be having an affect all round. Only one race meeting and that's over the water at Navan, with Exeter now advertising water polo. if I was looking at any bets i would keep the following in mind: Honey Bach, Bonisland, with a lay on Busty Brown.

Final Grand Prix of the season, which fittingly will determine the drivers championship. Normally i would have backed Hamilton for the race, but it seems that Alonso may have sacrificed some speed for a wet weather set up yesterday, he also has his team mate sat on Vettel's exhaust from the start so it looks like it could be an interesting race, toom many people will want to win it, but Vettel will not want to do anything silly to compromise his race.  Watched an interesting interview with Schumacher yesterday, quite insightful if you get the chance to watch. Starts around the 19 minute mark - www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01p3s9s/

Yesterday's rugby has its consequences, with a certain All Black hooker almost certainly will be missing a few matches followings his right hook on Bradley Davies. And least said about that bloody French referee again the better!! There is also a now a vacancy for the Scotland job  with Andy Robinson having thrown in the towel following the Tonga defeat. When will people understand that there are very few easy games in International Rugby these days.

In the cricket, it looks like England may actually get a result, some exciting batting from KP, some solid batting from Cook, and some intelligent bowling from Panesar/Swann. Should be enough to get a result tonight/tomorrow morning.

Some pretty good football games today, and in particular looking forward to the Swansea v Liverpool game. both sides trying to implement their new manager's systems. Both sides like to score and both have a habit of conceding. Both sides like to play football as well as numerous personal cross overs with ex-managers and players, so a lot of pride also at stake.  Below are a couple of basic stats, with the best odds of some recommended bets.
