No i havent been boozing but at Haydock today their was plenty of that about on the members lawn which was shocking to see as it means that things will only get worse now as the post football looms up.
I was only being realistic, after all Sir Peter is one of the great commentators but could not go on forever and i was merely saying the same as regards Big Mac, while i want him to continue it is fair to say that if C4 racing is still on air in 30 years time then it will have different people on it.
Neil, I think Reet was referring specifically to the words he had emboldened :
"plus his form knowledge is second to none."
In that time worn phrase………"you cannot be serious!!!!!"

Quite. As displayed recently when he confronted Jim McGrath on The Morning Line, questioning the value of quantitative form analysis in the wake of Iris De Balme’s Scottish National victory from 20-odd lbs out the handicap. I also seem to remember Big Mac casting doubts over Denman’s ability to stay the trip in the Gold Cup, endlessly repeating "remember One Man", referring to their respective Hennesey wins. His numero uno form knowledge slipped that day, as he forgot to mention the 26lbs extra that Denman carried in his win, as well as the poorer going.
To say "plus his form knowledge is second to none" is just about the most stupid thing I have read on here.
Marko Pierre White got it spot on when he said everything McCririck does (and says) is for effect.
Big Mac is about the only reason for watching C4. Their coverage is getting worse and worse. Maybe we’ve been spoiled by RUK and ATR I dunno but something needs doing to C4 racing and getting rid of Big Mac isn’t the answer. Did anyone see the coverage without him yesterday? Not to be rude but BORING!! Nick Luck / Tom Lee in the betting ring come on FFS both have about as much personality as a dead goldfish. Imagine going for a night out with Tom Lee? I think I’d rather watch Titanic and I consider that the most boring film I’ve ever watched (well actually fell asleep after about 20mins, literally).
Matt Chapman? Please, the guy is like an extremely poor man’s McCririck, though in fairness I’ll concede of late he has been less of an annoying twerp than he has been in the past.
Advise to C4 – Get rid of Lee, Grinner Graham, Plunkett (I can’t stand that
thing, Thompson, Emma Spencer (though she is a babe), Cattermole and get in some people that a) know their stuff and b) don’t send you to sleep.And bring back Big Mac, keep him till he wants to go.
If its true about this “womens rights” thing its just another example of how pathetic this country is getting. Humour bypasses galore and politically correct nonsense.
Mac told Tanya she had a plantpot on her head the other day – Shock, gasp, horror!! HANG HIM!! Old Tanz though has a sense of humour, bless her and a maturity and common sense that is so badly lacking nowadays.
On a completely different subject just look at those two buffoons in the photo above Boris and everyone’s friend Dave. It really is laughable isn’t it? Would you trust either of them with collecting the correct change from a cashier at the local supermarket let alone running a country? Best part is they are a better option than Gordon Broon who is possibly, just possibly more boring than Tom Lee and more clueless than Ken Livingstone. Well, err, yeah questionable I know. The future isn’t very bright all in all is it?

What sort of a name is that? If you have a surname White you don’t have Christian names Marco Pierre, it sounds ridiculous lol.
How about Jean Marie Smith? Or Gurdip Jones?
.What about Marco Antonio Batty?

Sounds foreign to me Flash.
Think it’s a great name, I don’t know the bloke, is his mum French and dad English, or something?

Value Is EverythingI remember when Tanya first started she was very nervy, give the guy a break.
Judge them in another 18 months.
Value Is EverythingJohn is obviously a betting anaylist, but in terms of historcal form he does know his stuff (when he has it all in front of him). Dunno about you guys but Emma Spencer is very easy on the eye, at least Jamie has something else to focus on riding when he packs the game in.
Might I refer you here[/url:2nfpuuwy]. A few mentions for Mrs Spencer (and one for her mother
) in there!

Indeed. Richard Lee rates his son Tom as “the funniest person he knows”, so just you all wait. A couple of years and he’ll be indulging in more witty repartee than the Great British public can handle and McCririck will be forgotten about.
Hmm, well if the conditions to that mean funnier than his sister, that ain’t hard!!! Had a shouting match with the po faced old cow at Worcester one day, many years ago….
McCririck may be a lot of things but he is a recognisable face that the British public associate with racing – he brings racing to the attention of the public. Some wet behind the ears lad with (and I am quoting a comment overheard in a pressroom made in answer to the question "Who on earth is Tom Lee then?") the "charisma of an inanimate object" isn’t going to publicise racing to the masses now, is it?
It’s also worth pointing out that much of his "persona" is merely an act which he puts on for the cameras. He’s actually a very intelligent guy in doing so well at keeping up that persona to the extent that people think he is truly like that and is, in actual fact, more than capable of being polite and friendly, even to women!

My god that is somewhat disturbing, poor Richard must’ve had an extremely grim life. Must be a hoot a minute at their Christmas knees up.
