TBF to Scheffler, I think his foursome's pairing (Henley) ruined him. He was having to hit approaches 20-30 yards further in than everyone else, stats wised he still performed quite well (although of course, they don't always tell the whole picture). Absolutely, there are quirks to the whole compet...

And there's a bum note. 5th or 6th one.

Agreed - I can't unhear that every time it's played!

https://datagolf.com/ryder-cup/strokes-gained Justin Rose is +4.56 strokes gained on the day for putting and +5.84 sg overall... the next highest player on putting (Lowry) is +1.01 on putting, overall (JJ Spaun) is +1.96. Rosie has just put on one of the all-time best performances in any sport, eve...

Cheshireclaret

PS - JJ Spaun has shown class, integrity and fight in his rookie performance with that victory, so I hope for the sake of players like him I am still watching The Ryder Cup in years to come.

Cheshireclaret

That's an interesting sentence, could you elaborate? Yep. The Europeans have been the more dominant team over the last 20-25 years and players like Tiger have shown that it doesn't suit their mentaility on the golf course - arguably Scheffler is doing the same this time. Unquestionably a man you wo...

Agreed, hammerings are NOT good for Ryder Cup long term. Away wins are pretty rare, but this has the potential of being an AWAY hammering, that's a different animal :D This would be only the 5th win on US soil by Team Europe and if it's a bloodbath, then it would likely eclipse the 2004 Ryder Cup. ...

Cheshireclaret

Its great to beat them but not sure these one sided hammerings are good for the Ryder cup long term. Yep. They've paid them to be (potentially) humbled this time, it'll be interesting to see what the appetite and / or incentive is for them to fly across the pond in 2 years' time. They seem to reall...

Oh and of course, a lovely sub-script - Ian Finnis (Fleetwood's caddy) is married to Rachel Brown-Finnis, Burnley girl and fan and former England goalkeeper.

Cheshireclaret

I had the pleasure of having lunch with Billy Foster last week and he called pretty much everything that has happened, right down to Finnis getting stuck in if it came to it. What DeCahambeau's caddy did was unnecessary and there was no need for it. Pretty much the same as happened with McIlroy and ...

Why enter any competition and not play a team that gives the best chance of winning? If fringe players need a game then arrange a friendly. This competition is now devalued and pointless. That starting XI had more than enough to win that game of football. The fact the performance simply wasn’t good...

Cheshireclaret

Injury aside, a long time I suspect given the performances out wide in recent games (last night apart) barring injuries.

The one player that has reduced my son to inconsolable tears when he left us - he was 9 at the time, idolised him and walked out with him a couple of times as mascot. Tom is probably the nicest footballer I have ever met - he had time for every single fan, young and old, he would always stop for a c...

4 goals after 90 minutes, with 3 of those being outright winners including last night; 6 goals beyond 80 minutes with the 83rd minute goal against Arsenal being a winner and the 88th minute goal against Bournemouth setting up the 4-2 win (Salah scored in the 94th minute); 3 times this season they ha...

Presidential elections are imminent at Benfica and Amorim is being hevily linked with a return to, as you say, his boyhood club. It would give United the perfect get-out if they want one and it does seem that there is a real possibility of this happening if the election result goes the way it is bel...

Oh good, so his last game reffing us was the one where he gave a free kick, that shouldn’t have been a free kick, from which Wolves equalised. Great.

Evening all, Me again, after some advice (following the fantastic advice on cameras for my son, whose birthday it is today and he's made up with his new camera, so thank you all!.

Who knows, but at least Guehi seems to have a bit of class about him! A lot of class, I would say. At FT last night, Henderson tried to push him forward and whether that was to take the limelight, or to make some huge goodbye gesture (or both) he clearly shook his head and refused to. Classic examp...

I’m really not sure what else Newcastle should be expected to say tbh with you. The way he’s treated such a great club who gave him his shot in the Premier League whilst paying him a handsome salary is quite frankly disgusting. Remarkably similar to how Wissa treated Brentford in the end - who of c...

Afternoon all, My 14-year old son has had a strong interest in all things aviation for some time now and over the last 6 months he has become a keen plane spotter (not my cup of tea at all, but there are far worse things a 14 year old could be doing with his spare time!)

And interesting choice of fourth official, the very same referee who gave Sunderland two penalties on the Turf last season.

Yep, Easter-Island-Head won't be slow in giving something (anything) against us.

Cheshireclaret

Class Act in every sense of the term, playing The Royal Albert Hall in October.

No way a penalty for me, the ball had gone past Anthony, complete stupidity for someone to decide to shoulder barge Anthony but there were no grounds for a penalty for me. I'd have been raging had a similar situation resulted in a penalty against us. The only thing Oliver got wrong today (watching f...

I felt the first and the third could, and should, have been saved personally. looked like the difference between a keeper in his early 20's and one in his late 30's. Long range distribution was questionable too.

5/10 and I've give some leeway for it being his first time behind this back line.

Cheshireclaret

Like the six second rule before that, and countless others - added time being properly administered, 'simulation' being clamped down on, bellowing at the referee being clamped down on etc etc it will last as long as it takes for a decision to be decisive in a 'big game' before it'll be completely fo...

Little alternative for us given we lost Trafford, Egan-Riley, and Brownhill, and some in our squad wouldn't have stood out in the Championship never mind the Premier League. This, for me, is the key difference between the Kompany and Parker approaches. VK seemed to sign players left right and centr...

Which national anthems do English fans boo ? Unless there’s been some reciprocal nonsense like the Scots etc or some incident, it’s pretty rare these days .

The modern day version of Gabor Kiraly, for me, in terms of keepers that had undoubted talent but were always seemingly prone to getting bored and thinking of creating 'things to do'. There are always goalkeepers who are remembered for their eccentricity yet, on many occasions, great play. Bruce Gro...

Our National Athem is dreadful. It works well as a football chant because, frankly, that’s all those 4 stanzas are. Compare that to Flower of Scotland, Land of our Fathers, The Soldiers Song and its pitiful. The Spanish national anthem is more rousing and it doesn’t have any words. Anyway. Back on t...

Quite incredible darts tonight, well done to all four of them. I’d love Wade to win it, and would t bet against him it’s a very Wade thing to do, but when Littler has the glint in his eye, it’s pretty bad news for any opponent. The depth in quality is far higher now than it was in Taylor’s prime, an...

Cheshireclaret

Great to see Rock fulfilling his potential- much was made of him when he first emerged, people put too much pressure on him and it pushed his career back a year or two. Littler dealt with the same pressure in a different way, people are different, but on his day Rock is a match for anyone in my book...

Like it or not, we are leveraged in the same way the Glazers have leveraged MUFC and I said from day one this sits very, very uncomfortably with me. No amount of protests from supporters at Old Trafford has made a jot of difference (Ratcliffe is not there because of them and their woes continue) and...

And those criticising him would also snap the hand off if they were offered a similar pay rise to what they currently earn I'm not criticising him at all, it's his career, his life, his choice - he can do what he wants with it.

Give 'em a clip around the ear and tell them you're Gen X, not Boomer.

Ironically, they then procee...

We haven't beaten Leeds at Premier League level have we? For me, last season was something of an anomaly with both United and Spurs being weak - I can't see that being repeated.
