The reality we at Josimar face is stark. Should we fail to raise 50 000 euro by 1 July, the world’s only investigative media dedicated solely to football will cease to exist.

Shocking but not surprising...
Not a single constituency in the North East or South West sees even 20% of kids on free school meals going on to get a degree

I'm siding with Florida Dreams in the Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso tomorrow.

He's not been running badly at all and looks to me like one of those that saves his best for warmer, drier conditions.

11/1 looks good value.

This is excellent.

Parents are insufferable, and I say that as one.

A gutsy performance and a nice 9/1 winner.
Sticking with Famous Bridge in the Grand National Trial at Haydock (3.15).

Slightly disappointing last time out but the extra distance and first time headgear could unlock him. The bit of rain about this morning will do his chances no harm either.

I do like the look of Harry Derham's Givemefive in first time blinkers under Harry Cobden on Saturday.

Stable is bang in form with three winners from four. Horse was poor last time out but he's surely better than his 130 rating???

25/1 with five places is my kind of bet.

An unusual turn of events
Sources: Santos still pursuing Sheffield Wednesday forward Josh Windass.

Wednesday don't want to sanction a January exit.

Santos just signed Brazilian legend Neymar. Still interested in bringing in Windass.
Sources: Brazilian club Santos have made a bid for Sheffield Wednesday star forward Josh Windass.

Windass, 30, having excellent season with 10g/1a in 1,551 minutes.

MLS clubs have had serious interest in the past. Windass remains on the radar this year.

Disagree with this.

27 out of 36 clubs either out already or through to the playoffs/next round.

We've seen some great individual games but all without much consequence.

I guess I'm just yearning in vain for a pure knockout.
This new Champions League format has undoubtedly been a success.

Breaking my bluesky duck to say that this is truly excellent, so far.

The drive into the country in ep2 is wild, and just so very sad...
