Wayne Rooney's uncle...

Well, I posted that a day too early, didn't I?

I hope no-one bet on England winning the World Cup before The Hope Of The Nation broke his foot...

Speaking of betting, it'd be very interesting to see how the 'next England manager' odds changed on the betting exchanges before the various announcements of the past week. Did people take advantage of inside knowledge?

Thanks for the lesson, I knew basics but I've never had that much interest. My only bets have ever been on the National. I would win something every year without fail. I used a foolsafe way of picking my horses...I would set my limit (of money I could afford to lose), look at the names of the horses, and place a bet on anything that had a name that meant something to me. If only one horse stood out the lot went on it, conversly if there were 6 horse the same amount would be split among them.

The one year I didn't have any interest in the race was the year that it was cancelled at starting post.
I don't bet on it nowadays though because of the number of animals that get injured, my simple protest!
