Are you Team William or Team Andrew?!

Last I checked Wiggy is a grown up and not property to be stolen or not. Considering they all seem happy and settled now, and it's water way under the bridge I don't see why it's pertinent?

Anyhow, it's going to be a real nail biter and great for the sport.

Well said. For what it's worth, things were not good between William and Wiggy well before Andrew came along and William is much happier with Alice. Andrew and Wiggy are very happy together so where's the problem?
PolarSkye, rumour is not always founded on fact. Luckily parties involved don't read the forum and they have a good solid relationship but scurrilous gossip can cause unnecessary hurt when foundations are not so solid.
 
Ouch! At some of the comments! And we were all playing so nicely too ;)

You honestly couldn't make it up, a grand slam head to head, which only happened because an event was cancelled, with the two main protagonists being age-old rivals, and with the current world, european and olympic champion making his debut at the event too, on a horse which looks like it does everything on rails it's so flipping consistent.

Jilly Cooper or what?!

Good thing too or AN would be afraid to come out in public with all of us lusting over his thighs - who knows what one of us might do after a few drinks...

Good motivation for him to make the time xc though, crowd full of dangerously man-obsessed, HHOer she-wolves ready to pounce on him at the slightest hesitation :eek:

No wonder he's Mr Stickability, poor guy daren't fall off, he'd be eaten alive by lascivious horsewomen...

tbh though I am very glad to hear (but not surprised at all) that he/they don't read the forum. After that particular remark, good. :( :( :(

Does amuse me that there are at least 10-15 other combinations who could probably win it, but nobody is mentioning them... e.g. Jock Paget, Chris Burton, Victoria Panizzon, any of the other Germans, Mary, Zara, Tina, Pippa, Tappers... not a three horse race at all!

And they have the advantage of the spotlight being off them. There are several others too, perhaps less well known, like Astier Nicholas, Aoife Clarke and Stefano Brecchiaroli who could well put in a strong challenge. The favourites are under no illusion that it is a match or a 3 horse competition.
