Looks they're handing the Green Jacket to Scheffler on a plate. hate to see one guy dominating for a long period of time

At this rate of attrition Lancashire lad Tommy Fleetwood could finish second.

AS I said, agents are often working on the club's behalf

Maybe I'm not asking the question correctly, let's try this: Wouldn't it be more cost effective for the club to have a permanent employee to handle contract negotiations, rather than hiring an outside party?

IMO Muric is the better 'keeper for the style Kompany wants to play He's also better at catching a high ball in traffic. Trafford may very well improve as he fills out and gains more confidence.

I'm voting for Muric

His gaffe was pure entertainment

If this season wasn't such a disaster I'd think otherwise.

Clubs ripped off players for years - so they got agents to look after their interests That's true but why does the club pay the agents fee? Surely the player ought to pay the fee, after all the agent is working on the players behalf. And for the life in me I've never understood why clubs need an ag...

Dyche to Burnley?

Trim down Kompany's current coaching staff, backroom staff, bodyguard, shoeshine boy and other such hangers on in order to pay Dyche what he's currently making. Hire Dyche as co-manager in charge of defence and set pieces.

Job done

I was just reading about Princess Anne's trip to Trawden, and yes, she's the most unassuming of all the Royals. A credit to our country.

Ohh, and it was raining just for an exciting change of pace.

Logic would say it can only be Scheffler. No question Scheffler is No 1 in the world and this years' favourite, however Augusta National is a totally different animal. As the old adage goes 'Masters doesn't start until back nine on Sunday' has held true on a number of occasions in recent years. Mol...

Liverpool for me, they're my second team except when they play Burnley.

Can't stand City for the simple reason I hate one team dominating.

As for Arsenal, they're from the south....'nuff said

Agree with Canada (except didn't Meronk go to LIV?) Rory's week. Let's get this done.

Yes he did go to LIV but qualified for Augusta after last years Masters through a high finish at a major, or something like that. There's quite a few LIV guys eligible, Hatton for same reason as Meronk.

I tried to edit the above post but apparently the function is no longer available. It'll be interesting to see how Tiger does. I doubt there's much wrong with his golf game as far as hitting quality shots is concerned but his ability to walk such a hilly track is in question, as always. Personally I...

I have no interest in betting however I am an avid golfer and love The Masters. As is my annual ritual I'm going for Rory to finally get the 'Grand Slam' monkey off his back. Unlikely, but if he fires on all cylinders for once he's more than capable of winning. As for others: Canadian golf is in saf...

You can bet your bottom dollar (or quid) we'll be out-Dyched Saturday. He'll be rubbing his hands in anticipation of exploiting our vulnerability to set pieces.

I can absolutely cope with us not being good enough for the Premier League. I'm a Burnley fan, I don't expect us to be automatically successful. I struggle though when we don't show grit and fight, and too many times this season our heads have dropped. But today was the epitomy of rolling your slee...

Off topic from Netflix/Prime title but tv show related. I recently signed up to Britbox and watched all 6 series of "line of duty". I though series 1-4 were brilliant but series 5 and 6 were merely more of the same. I'm curious to know what you folks you saw the show thought of it.

Looks a stunning course but not sure the place is set up to cope with the Canadian Open or a big championship.

That singing of the National Anthem on the 14th for every Canadian is mad as. That's the "rink" hole. At every Canadian Open since 2017 a par 3 teeing area has been lined with boards, rather than rope. Instead of applauding a shot, the spectators bang the boards as the players do in ice hockey.

Canadian Nick Taylor won Canadian Open yesterday with a 72 foot eagle putt to beat Tommy Fleetwood on the fourth playoff hole.

I was wondering when a Masters thread would pop up. I so hope Rory can get the monkey of his back and finally get into the elite group of Grand Slam winners. There's not much wrong with his game at the moment but the 'six inches between his ears' appear to get in way on the biggest of stages. Who ca...

To the best of my knowledge the only time I saw a game from the enclosure was a cup tie vs Everton, February '62, won 3-1. Down 0-1 at half time, Miller equalised shortly after the restart with a bomb from outside the box. I think Connelly and Robson scored the others. No idea why I remember the det...

A sad day indeed. I followed her career from when she was Christine Perfect, singer for 'Chicken Shack'. First gained prominence with her version of the Etta James classic "I'd rather go blind". Then on to the big time with 'Fleetwood Mac', she was always my favourite band member, not 'in your face'...

As in all golf majors I'm hoping a non Yank wins

Rory's due, he's been playing well of late. Considering the weather forecast is pretty benign, winner could be as low as -18.

Cameron Smith was my top pick a week before The Masters started.
