At a time when blogs are threatened with censorship we feel proud that we can bring you this week's Top Trader Bloggie1 fully uncensored. In truth, our winner has reigned himself in, and when you consider he's a Leeds United fan and understandably bitter that is a miracle in itself...
1. How does it feel to be Top Trader this week?
Quite delighted. I expected to get close after having that tall Liverpool striker for dividend and daytrading so well, as I avoided the top movers that faded very quickly thus saving commission.
2. We never thought we'd say this but Crouch is getting pretty reliable. What was it that set you apart from the rest of the players this week and meant you got the silverware?
As the Sportdaq Talk site advises but doesn't always follow its own advice a good pair of mittens is required to avoid trading into the wrong share and repenting at leisure.
3. Hypocrites, the lot of you! Your most important buy or sell this week?
There's a few of them but to start with there was the hattrick hero Peter Crouch then spotted Carl Llewellyn at 3rd on the leaderboard at a nice price and knew with Aintree on the way he was a worthy mover so he started the momentum.
4. Very much a little and large double act. Portsmouth put the cat amongst the title-chasing pigeons last weekend. Where's the smart money going now?
Chelsea are starting to gain some consistency so it's up for grabs but Man Utd have to be slight favourites especially after their demolition of Roma Tuesday night. They play each other at Stamford Bridge on 9th May so that has the potential of being a title decider.
5. Could be the closest we get to a repeat of Michael Thomas at Anfield. England's cricketers appear to have blown it again. Where did the World Cup go wrong?
They look to be short of a true world class bowler and reliable opening batsmen but even with Vaughan off his game they are still in it but their chances are slim.
6. Slimmer than Nicole Richie's arm hair. The US Masters was a bit of an anti-climax. What are your impressions?
I do an adequate Frank Spencer but I'd say the course layout was normal apart from the greens which threw up some hard luck stories.
7. You should see our impression of our old geography teacher Mr Geoffrey. If you'd met him you'd swear it was spot on. Any tips for the Grand National?
Difficult race to tip up with any certainty so I'll do a Mystic Meg and say a low weight with blue and white silks.
8. Ah Mystic Meg, accuracy has never been so vague. Finally, take the chance to talk about any sporting issue close to your heart. Try and keep it brief.
The demise of Leeds Utd. I support them but wondering why. It highlights the importance of financial planning in modern football. If they get relegated at least I can make it to Leyton Orient as I live near Brisbane Road. That's if I can muster the enthusiasm.
