This “I’m holier than thou” nonsense needs to stop. If you don’t want to bet, don’t. But definitely don’t write an article where your betting “experience” is US racing. You know nothing about it. Nobody in the uk does. And you can probably count those betting on it on one hand.

@cjsnowdon Pro gamblers spend years training models and this clown puts a bet on a US race he knew nothing about, while in a pub in Peckham, to make a point people shouldn’t bet. He definitely shouldn’t bet and there’s a fair bit of evidence to say he should write either.

Guardian writer who hates betting learns the lessons that teenagers learn very quickly when they start betting. theguardian.com/sport/2026/apr…

Hopefully @netflix learn a few lessons from this. Great to have a big show, not on PPV. But I’d have paid US PPV money not to have listened to their commentary team. Ranallo must have the unredacted Epstein files.

Not one of the three Netflix pundits follow the sport closely, all their opinions can be disregarded, just generic waffle

@PrescottRamseyX @IanDarke Not sure why everyone’s so fussed about saying he’s one of the best National winners. He can’t prove he could go back and win over the old fences any more than Red Rum can come back and beat today’s horses off top weight.

@IanDarke comparing him to winners of the old race is like comparing apples and badgers

I Am Maximus is one of the greatest Grand National horses of Aintree. Surely only behind Red Rum. Ist-2nd-Ist. That is some record lugging big weights in such a tough marathon.

Those £12 tickets on viagogo are looking a bit steep now.

@devsahni It won’t. Because they won’t match him with anyone remotely dangerous.

Anyone between 140 and 154 will want a bit of Conor Benn right now. The next fight will be very interesting.

@chrisrobwill And ironically I wish they left Mauro Ranallo sleeping.

@chrisrobwill He permanently sounds like someone’s just woken him up now.

Is Buffer ok?

Mauro Ranallo and Conor Benn is the real battle this evening. Who comes out most disliked?

Conor Benn does a mean Naga Munchetty impression these days.

Only one man would be pleased to see this @Mark_Quayle

The Springbok officially has the worst line up ever seen. The eagle eyed will spot the alternative to Carling and Spanish Carling is cans of Bud. 🤮

@Goalinton04 @JoshCourt8 @_AlexOliva_ The real tell from a Slough spoons is whether anyone is selling £10 coach tickets to Utopia, Destinys, or Royals.

@gerryjmurray @JoshCourt8 @_AlexOliva_ it’s also missing the statue of a man made entirely from spoons

Every English person knows exactly what spoons this is

@Goalinton04 @JoshCourt8 @_AlexOliva_ Similar, but it’s not a red brick building in Slough so can’t be it.

@JoshCourt8 @_AlexOliva_ it does look like the moon and spoon tbf

@Carti3rLens @BigBearKentlaar @matbern03 Foden has less minutes because he’s not been picked to play. Not quite the same.

@BigBearKentlaar @matbern03 You said Bowen has more with 400 more minutes and you didn’t account for how many more minutes he has over Foden who’s 1 behind him whilst being a starter in every competition 😂😂 your guy is sorry mate

Bukayo Saka has had a lacklustre season by his high standards, he has 16 G/A in all competitions (remarkably the same as Trossard and Martinelli). However it’s more than: Foden 15 Palmer 13 Gakpo 12 Doku 15 Watkins 12 Solanke 6 Cunha 11 Mbeumo 13 Garnacho 11 Wirtz 15 Bernardo Silva 8 Marmoush 9 Jarrod Bowen, the one West Ham fans tell me HAS to go to the World Cup over Saka? 17 G/A in nearly 400 more minutes. Saka is having a season like this, whilst STILL out performing so many players in the league. Class is permanent, he deserves the trophy come May.

3 massive weapons.

@London_W4 Black cab drivers famously used to always stay silent. 🙄

You’ve gotta laugh I suppose. Heading home now and I thought, no, I won’t give uber my money, I’ll support a good old British London black cab. So I hailed one and here I am, with a Somali driver talking into his phone the whole journey. Reminds me of being in an uber. Apart from the price.

@shaniefla @MiguelDelaney I get the point but Browne looked like he was shitting a brick walking up and he’d been very poor since coming on. Vale is a distraction really - the main point is Browne should have been nowhere near the penalty most likely to be the decisive one.

@gerryjmurray @MiguelDelaney Haha it auto corrected to Brown . Listen I’m excited to see a new face in the squad like vale but putting him in that position in his first cap with minimal minutes is asking for trouble . If he missed imagine the stick he would have taken off people .

@darrenglynn85 @MiguelDelaney Probably - but if anyone would have offered a one goal lead away at half time, everyone would have snapped their hands off. And they came out for the second half like they were 1-0 down. They then played 90 mins+ after the mistake. You have to be able to solve things in that time

@gerryjmurray @MiguelDelaney Decisive: a critical action that determines the final outcome of a situation. I see what you are saying, but if that penalty isn't given away, we win that match comfortably.
