The Boat Race 2018

I popped into McCambridge’s of Shop Street earlier to buy an Oxford Lunch. I’m going to devour it now in the same way our chaps devoured their opponents on the Thames.

Fantastic analytica from Coach Trapmore. After an unfortunate week, the Cambridge name has been well and truly restored to glory

With the blue riband event of horse racing out of the way, the focus switches to the 4.2 mile stretch along the Thames from Putney to Mortlake tomorrow afternoon. Its all about James Cracknell for this year’s renewal.

On a Sunday ??

The very best time of the year. The People’s Race and the Boat Race. What more could anybody ask for in a single weekend of sport.

Caused his divorce apparently, or at least was the final straw. He is trying to get into a boat to row at the Olympics, and was told to get in the boat race crew and he’d be considered.

The brain injury can’t have helped either. A good example of a fella not knowing what to do with himself after being a sportsman for so long.

No it didn’t, not at all.

Informative.

The Boat Race on a Sunday dosent sit easy with me
We really are entering a period of a few slow Sundays now after the drama of the Leagues and such was the fixture congestion various mouth watering and or extremely attractive double headers had to be played on a Saturday to clear the boards
The GAA season has now been cancelled until may and it regrets me to say that today’s FA Cup Semi Final dosent fill me with inspiration at all ( and i regret typing that)
Even MOTD last night - whilst i enjoyed the 3 games as Burnley are box office had a horrific panel of Gabby Yorath, Paul Ince and some other token woman

its difficult for me
I hope April can pick up but i foresee Sunday Sport been a lost zone for a few weeks

The boat race is unremitting dross.

Who’s on the Middlesex and Surrey stations?

Some Mick in a provincial, post industrial shithole in northern England wouldn’t understand the importance and tradition of this great sporting and cultural event .

Homeless people out of their minds on spice attacking the police all around Manchester city centre. No wonder he’s always crying about going back to Ireland in all fairness. I don’t know how any could live there

A solid win for us. I’m very satisfied with that.

You’re absolutely right there bud.
