Pressure was immense. That approach to 18 that went in the bunker (after a good drive) was all nerves - not a difficult shot. It's just a great tournament. I still play off 10 but no way I'd break a 100 when it's set up as it is for the Masters.

Always been a delusion about how popular the game is and an assumption that if you make a sport professional that money can "force" growth and appeal. Two clubs cover the north of England and can't get gates of over 10k. Is it just 2 clubs covering London?

Bears starting the season today - as usual injuries picking the team.

Just posted on the Death List about Eddie. RIP a real character.

RIP Eddie Jordan Had the pleasure of an extremely raucous night out in Budapest (included casinos, an establishment called the Black Cat club and dodgy dives!!!) with Eddie and Eddie Irvine's family during a Hungarian F1 week. Would see him at subsequent races in Budapest and he'd have a giggle...

Everyone should get checked. It took my Dad.

Love the chaos of a wet race. Don't think it tells us much about where teams are actually at in terms of performance apart from Ferrari's usual self sabotage.

Love finally having a QB rookie contract that enables us to have an aggressive free agency. Vikings go out and address the issues that have plagued them for seasons. A proper centre, a guard & two good DTs. Not sexy positions but the major weakness for us for far too long.

If they can't hit a cricket ball properly good luck trying to hit a smaller ball

First tier Test sides (outside tournaments) seem to be only averaging 8/9 games a year. Don't remember a game against Pakistan after the Test series - might have been useful. Need to remember last World Cup was a disaster - w3 l6. lost to Afghanistan then so this lastest defeat should be no...

Think there's an issue with 50 over cricket in general. Players aren't playing enough. There's an average of 9-10 Odis per year, none are playing domestic 50 over cricket. Too many top order wickets been thrown away in this tournament with unnecessary shots - batting like it's a 20 over game...

The Trump administration has no time for a group it perceives as being overly liberal and weak. Holds EU in same low levels of esteem as it holds the Democrat party.

EU fraud budget. Cases already ongoing against Hungary, Romania & Slovakia off the top of my head for cohesion funds. Agriculture is a historically big one - area payments etc , Greek Olive hectarage was a big one. https://www.politico.eu/article/olaf-reports-increased-eu-funds-fraud/

Nope.They'll be going hard on military spending - Trump, Musk & Hegeseth already been making briefings about it. Tax dollars is the theme ofthisnew administration.

EU now has to spend 100s of millions of Euros a year tackling fraud etc because of the billions it was being defrauded on - particularly in agriculture subsidies, development grants and cohesion funds

If they're serious they are going to uncover some astonishing numbers in an organisation that has consistently failed to pass audits and has handed out ridiculous contracts. Literally trillions of dollars of assets unaccounted for.

It's still a vicious circle. They've devalued domestic 50 over and 20/20 so far that it's bound to impact the national whiteball teams. Only meaningful white ball cricket players are getting is around the various global 20/20 leagues. Bazball is still entertainment-based rather than result...

Lot of credit to Howie Roseman - eagles GM. Knows how to build a roster. Chiefs top 4 earners accounting for 40% of their cap - 3 of them not worth the money. Eagles have noone above 7% of the cap. Plus drafted really well. Mahomes carried Chiefs offense all season behind a line that couldn't...

So many pundits have this SB as a one score game. About 2 to 1 favouring the Chiefs. Mahomes has led the Chiefs to quite a lot of one score wins this season. Something very Patriot-like with this Chiefs team- strong defense, not many stars on offense but a QB who knows how to get it done...

These whiteball sides are a mess - both bat and ball.
