@goddard_luke@wggwg2987 Maybe he doesn’t want to set up a satellite stable in Dubai over winter when all his horses are at Newmarket. The cost would be extraordinary
@goddard_luke@wggwg2987 But if it’s got a chance of winning a lot of prize money in the UAE, why would you not transfer it over? Varian may not want to have a winter in Dubai and that’s why it goes to the JA Stable
@goddard_luke@wggwg2987 Loads of his horses move to Jebel Ali in the winter, this isn’t new. Varian tends to have them in the summer in Europe then Jebel Ali get them in the winter. Ed Crisford is now leading that stable taking over from Michael Costa
@PeterDellaPenna Boxing Day last year at MCG was $40 (£20) and this year in Jo’burg is £15. Why should we accept these prices in the UK when they’re the most expensive in the world?
@Louchepunter Potentially because it qualifies for City of Gold on 27th February on Super Saturday. A win there qualifies for Sheena Classic on World Cup night with a $6m purse
@RokerEndPete@UnderTheLight73 Every club changes their font every season. They’ll use it in all cup comps. And I hope for anyone who’s bought a shirt with Europa patches but got sent prem numbers gets it changed for free. Stupid decision from the club not having it ready
🚨🔵 The agreement between Chelsea and Granit Xhaka on personal terms is guaranteed.
Xhaka is driving the move personally as he wants #CFC, wants to reunite with Xabi Alonso and wants to live in London.
Deal depends on the clubs.
