Ryder Cup
 
Obviously I've been following this like a hawk...

Anyone getting a touch nervous. I wasn't ever that confident going into this morning but at the moment it's right in the balance.

Once a couple of the matches turned it was just a waiting game.

Pleased Poulter kept his unbeaten record. Pleased for Donaldson because he's had a fantastic year.

I managed to play on Saturday, only scored 27 points so bit disappointed.


Mickleson has quite openly had a dig at Watson. Shame, I thought he was such a classy bloke until that.

Took yesterday afternoon off to watch the final day on TV. Excellent entertainment. Still wish they had picked Loook instead of Gallagher but I suppose they had to pick a Scotty to play up there. Wasn't GMac brilliant. Three wins out of three for him. As well as Westwood and Scotty, I was expecting him to be our weakest link. That Welsh geezer was pretty hot too and what can you say about Rory. Great all round performance with the result never in doubt. Perhaps they should allow the USA to pick South Americans to make it a more even contest.

While you Europeans have the uniting cause of slaying the great beast from across the pond.

That was easy money

Most of you can't even ****ing find Europe on a map. It's a surprise that the entire team actually made it there.

or Dubai like Stenson.

Is there still a smattering of current/ex- sports stars choosing Dubai as a base?

Trevor Sinclair has moved his family back to the UK. Carlton Palmer was a PE teacher at Repton. BSAK had Richard Illingworth and Colin Wells doing a similar job.

Stenson doesn't live here anymore.

Donald, Poulter, McDowell are all Florida based I think.
