Leigh Adams springs to mind!

Can't believe I'm sticking up for Nicholls but last season he raised his game and he was more than capable of maintaining this for this season. KK can beat anyone on his day (as his re-qualification for the SGP series shows) so I wouldn't have written him off. Zengi was the gamble but he turned in a great season to be their rider of the year! Summers was a bit hit and miss (more miss than hit) as was Roynon but the Sziepaniek brothers both showed what they were capable of the previous season so they should have been a strong reserve pairing. Ok it was lacking in inspiration but should have been capable of more than the wooden spoon - IMHO. PS - I agree that there would have been outrage if it was announced as the Swindon team - but only because Nicholls was included :wink:

I still think that if everyone rode to their average for the Bees this year then you wouldn't have been too far off the play-offs but, for whatever reason, it didn't happen. I think the Bees will bounce back in 2014.

There you go! What are posts 1 and 2 if not sneering? What relevance does the financial position of our clubs have to us making comments? As for your third post - not impressed that you blatantly flaunt forum rules but hey ho I won't!

Sneer at Coventry? I'm pretty sure I didn't. You appeared to take the moral high ground (and continue to do so) that because Brummies have well documented money problems that a Brummies supporter shouldn't quip about Coventry's financial stability! And now because I pointed this out, you then raise something similar about Swindon! If anyone is sneering it's you I think. Watch you don't get dizzy rolling your eyes

As I've already said - I'm not the one who is confused! Quite simple question 2: Which rider rode through the pain barrier not once but twice over a 12 meeting tournament to show that he is the best rider in the world this year and be crowned world champion? Anyway - as I said the best rider in the world doesn't want to ride for Poole!

Can't win the speedway argument so talk about runners and boxing - and you claim I'm mixed up and confused!

You are entitled to your opinion but comparing a one-off final from yesteryear to someone who emerges top of the pile after a 12 round series is like comparing apples with pears. It's also a bit like comparing Poole's season with Birmingham's- one team was the best over the season and the other were crowned champions I would not be wrong thanks. You have an opinion and so do I - doesn't make me wrong unless what I said is factually incorrect - and the facts support my opinion!

I think you'll find the first two are Peterborough cast offs

You can think what you want but the fact is that Tai IS world champion and Darcy isn't - queue the injury card AGAIN!! I like Darcy and I think he will be world champion one day (in the not too distant future too) but for now - don't rain on Tai's parade I disagree

Oh right! He's world champion because of a season of doubling up for Poole - not the multiple seasons at Wolves!

Definition of world champion - the best in their chosen sport

No it's not! Can you at least try and be respectful of the conditions attached to the Brummies racing - no need to be flippant and the "I'm alright Jack" attitude!

Change the record - it's boring now! Think you'll find he won't (not might) - it's hardly going to improve his world ranking

I think you'll find that Tai Woffinden (world champion) doesn't want to ride for Poole - they don't come any better than the world champion!

Club into disrepute? Really? More like a sense of humour bypass by some Poole fans I'd say!

He has hardly set the world on fire - having increased his starting average by less than 1point in a weakened EL.

Probably because he has an opinion and this is a discussion forum? I think you'll find most clubs have financial issues so there isn't any moral high ground!

Made me laugh - I think you meant moniker when in fact it should be signature

As I said last week - congratulations Poole, commiserations Birmingham. Wasn't a great spectacle last night - unless you were a Poole fan, the track took away any home advantage and the racing was pretty poor. Hope Danny King is OK. I can understand the joy the Poole fans are feeling but Shovlar has proven, yet again, that he doesn't do humility. Having said that, I didn't expect anything else. The best team in the play-offs rightly won and they deserved it.

Swindon fans? I don't think so!

I strongly disagree!

I had heard that and, if true (which it seems to be) then I wish him all the very best.

Not so Mickey Mouse that they made the play-offs though Actually the new Swindon players' piece is a panther wearing purple kevlars - to recognise your assets' contributions

Not content with upsetting speedway fans - you are starting on upsetting the religious types too
