  1. Are we all not entitled to a opinion then? is it not aloud.Even Rosco has made errors over the years even some of the Robins fans at the start of the year have questioned this years Robins line up.
  2. My point is being a Poole rider does make a difference there is no doubt about it.And so far in Pressure situations / Bates has the upper hand the roll of honour shows that. Also to answer that Bates has been riding when carrying injuries but we all know that is part and parcel of speedway though.
  3. And Bates has also won a under 19s championship if he had been a Poole rider would that had made a difference.?
  4. And lost to Bates in the 21s final at Sheffield and was behind him again at Kings Lynn.Did not matter who was picked yesterday but on achievement so far Bates has proved more the future who knows i actually like Ellis has pushed on this year.
  5. Well done Poland well done to Rosco and the boys a great effort speedway was the winner tonight.
  6. Great post but god was Borg late 30s when he made a comeback? i am sure that it was not on a fulltime tour.He was making good money ex wise playing Mcenroe,Connors anyway.
  7. Pissed myself laughing 🤓😜great post Danny enjoy Belle Vue tonight.
  8. He would say that he was and still is a modest man bigtime, yes the physical aspects come into play of course.But again Borg another was a master with a wooden racket he would be in most peoples top 6 of all time wouldnt he.?
  9. 1980 T.Briggs,Gresham,Spinka ( who was to blame Gresh got the blame)was a bad one also Steen Mastrup once went over the fence at the Abbey looked horrific.
  10. They wont unless they conquer Europe, Fricke has coped well in Poland the other two have to reach that level.All three i really like all bloody good riders hand on heart for the next few years Fricke,Holder,Kurtz but i could be wrong Doyley is the hope to expire to for any young Aussie now.
  11. My theory is Laver ( who lets not forget played in a good era.) Joe Davis,Rocky Marciano,Sugar Ray Robinson, Joe Gans, Willie Pep only a few sporting examples they would go to the level that was put in front of them.Only my humble opinion even worst scenario Laver would be in a all time top five no doubt about that some of these players today are fit yet can barely go five sets unreal really.
  12. Hancock also has never ridden this Belle Vue this decision is madness to be honest.Does he not owe the other Nations that Germany would of qualified speedway at times is a complete joke does he get fined.??
  13. Laver wooden racket or not still no 1 for me,with Pistol Pete second my take on things class players play in any era.
  14. Fricke believe me is a very good rider, and at the mo is two steps ahead easily of Brady/Jack.
  15. Lost three times to Matt Williamson how did he get the call over Bates ?😜
  16. You never see Laver live in his prime then Gater? Sampras is the best player i have ever seen live would still have Laver at no1 though.
  17. Why would i the man is a gentleman😄😜
  18. Spot on a great win, Moran/Gundo also really shook up the longtrack world.
  19. With Sweden at the highest level i could not trust Lindgren. Jonsson both great riders with Llung as well at Belle Vue this side worries me.
  20. My wife Witcher went to alot of Tennis more than me, she saw Curran beat Mcenroe which then was a huge shock .Agassi was a great player Sampras with Courier as well were real players the USA were powerful then.Witcher do you think Wimbledon has changed? as in who does well style of play., For me growing up if you had a mega serve you were nearly halfway there, now that has gone there are now great returners of the ball.ISNER as a example would of been better in other eras i am convinced of that saying that he has his limitations being a big man movement wise.
  21. I really fancy Poland for this one, just think the track will suit them more England for the wooden spoon.
  22. No i didnt go to that mate but forgot i did go to the semi in 92 when Johnny Mac tried to roll back the years and beat a young Agassi i was gutted he lost in three.My biggest disappointment in tennis was Mcenroe being two sets up against Lendl in the French Final and he finally lost a hard pill to swallow mate.
  23. Witcher did you ever get a ticket for the Wimbledon Final? i never did went into a ballot every year went to the semi,s one year Cash v Connors. Lendl v Edberg.I see some great matches on court 1 stopped going after Sampras retired then the precedure of tickets and watching certain matches changed.
  24. Do i care what mugs like you think na could not give a ..
  25. I think not a few Pr.... who are up there own ASSES, 🤓sad B.......s no Gresham is ok a few of you . ....should of been shot at birth sad but true.🤔 If you have been to Wimbedon as many times as i have, you probably have i first went in 81.These people do not represent England i went when you could choose your court your match now those days have gone.A snobby lot lot False as anything not a England crowd for me.
