Some tough tough playing conditions with the wind today, due to longer around all weekend. Homa was my pick before the tournament and certainly think he'll be there about by end of day 3.

Re: Interesting that potential contract clause mentioned again.
What is a bit odd is the timing that Trafford was dropped - he hadn’t made any obvious errors the week before from what I recall - and Trafford not making the bench. Ahh yes, I too tend to pre-plan my illnesses with my employer just like Trafford. I'm quite impressed with the ability of people on t...

We also play better when we go down to 10 men.
That's why we have the most red cards in the PL as we need to go up and gear and catch the opposition by suprise.
