SPORTS !!!

Rain away Dave, math is not my strong suit, I only use math when I buy something to make sure I recieved the correct change....but you are right, get off your high horse athletes until you can prove you can compete with the rest of the world not just turn up and expect to given free reign of the winning dias.

All you Golfing Americans, where are you?   

Just need to gloat over a fantastic comeback by us lowly Europeans.

Bathurst 1000 motor race is on next weekend , now that is real racing that not to many overseas drivers are game to try and U.S drivers would run a mile ha ha , see if you can find it on your local tv channels .

Golf now there is a game that could make you happier watching paint dry

[shaun]

Willy.  It is a European sport.  Don't you think it is about time you won once in a while?  Even Americans can slip up every now and then so don't gloat too much. 

If it were not for an American Police officer the Europeans would not have won.  Rory McIlroy almost ruined it for ya'll.

[Willy The Londoner]

I like to see the USA win now and then.  After all it is one of the very very few big sporting events where the USA can take on International Matches.

I will be honest and say that I thought the Americans would win so I went to bed before the end as I could not take any more of the bad audience behaviour of cheering rubbish shots by the home side and booing good shots by the Europeans.   Americans need to learn a lot about sportsmanship!

BUT I was happy in the morning when I heard of the comeback.

I am watching The Australian open tennis championships on UK TV here.

But where have all the Aussie and US top tennis players gone?  I miss the likes of Sampras, Conners, McEnroe and Agassi. And of course Laver and the down under boys.

If it was not for the Williams sisters then we would not hear from either country these days.  I wonder which Nationality won the US Open AND the Olympic title in 2012.

Shaun the Rory McIlroy you say nearly lost the Ryder cup for us certainly picked up a nice little earner this week. 250 million dollars over ten years for wearing clothes!  Looks like he has taken over from Tiger Woods.

There is a new saying here in America after Tiger's exposure and subsequent divorce.  "Tiger has lost his Wood."

[Willy The Londoner]

I see that the billionaire owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars has bought Fulham FC my second choice from the English Football clubs.  We now have six of the top flight clubs owned by American owners.  Maybe the future is in football.

Lets hope more money is spent than the previous Billionaire did.

Getting back to China . The biggest clubs in the UK are finding that visiting China pre-season is certainly the place to find new converts to Association Football.  The big four are all coming to Asia in the next week or so.

Hi David E

I think Broad should have walked. This game should not become like others 'win at any cost'. He knew exactly what he had done.

BIG FOUR....you mean you count Arsenal in with the other three, this is the team that has not won a trophy in the last 8 years...

Sorry Willy I forgot they are your team

Alas Willy, the noble "Gentleman's" game has also fallen prey to the money grabbers, posers and un-sportsmanlike predators that control modern sport of ANY kind.

Having said that, I (and most Aussies) are really pi###ed off at the way our "premium" cricketers cant seem to get their act together.

Yes, Broad should have walked, but 10 years ago, Warne or McGrath would have got him next ball...and our top order would have made enough runs to make his dismissal irelevant !!!

[Willy The Londoner]

Those were the days.  When five days meant five days. 
The first day of this one made me think of when I was watching Kent v Northants at Maidstone in June 1976 and during that day I saw 16 wickets fall, but there was a snowfall in June, during the lunch break, so being cold was an excuse.  But first day at Trent Bridge was very good warm weather.
