    Yeah, they'll be lots of VN streams on YouTube. Or just get a link from soccerstreams.net

    It might work out for the best if they give up on playing football and just go for set pieces.

    Yep, lets av it.

    Also, stuck a £5 free bet on 0-0 in MUN-NEW. Can Ronaldomania trump our simple little Ole? I'm not so sure, even if he starts.

    Would you not have been better off backing no goalscorer to cover any OGs?

    Fancy the hat trick myself.

    Yeah, didn't think of that. Odds have plummeted from 19 to 17 anyway so it's coooooming home.

    Just managed to get odds of 151 on Newcastle winning. Should I cash out before they notice the mistake? Will it be voided anyway?

    What the fuck is he doing?

    Edit: Knew he was done after the 17th. He was lucky to escape with a bogey but it was clear that it affected him on the 18th.

    I went yesterday and as I was stood no more than 6 feet away from him on the 17th fairway, I wanted to say to the great man: look, Kiradech, I've got some shekels riding on this, you know, if you wouldn't mind getting going a bit here. However, I held my tongue, more's the pity. I don't think there's any other sport where you can bet on someone and then be that close to them mid-game.

    He then went on to balls up the 18th, looked like he had run out of puff completely, so I gave up on him, and then next thing I know he's 8 under through 12 today, rarely has a good full 18 in him unfortunately.

    It's quite interesting being at the course, you really get a sense for who is good and who is having to work bloody hard to be at the top. Marcus Armitage, for example, is in the latter category. Nicolai Hojgaard looked a million dollars, he and his brother will go to the very top. Bezuidenhout is absolute pure class as well, think he might nick a major one day.

    Been a while since a good train chaps but Bayern at almost evens is the one. You're looking at a Barca side who have just lost Greazy and have been struggling even before that against a Bayern side that is really beginning to click. Would have preferred it to be a KO game to ward off complacency but I think that could also make it one worth covering some ambitious handicaps on.

    -1 3.1
    -2 6.0
    -3 12.0

    Let's be fuckin 'avin you.

    I find that Bayern thing convincing so may follow. Godspeed, my Nazi heroes.

    Anyway.

    Fortinet Championship

    The PGA Tour season has only just finished, but already it starts again with this rather low key event in California wine country. This falls the week before the Ryder Cup, and it's notable that 23 of the 24 players in that event are giving this one a miss. The one exception, somewhat oddly, is Jon Rahm, who clearly feels the need to compete against a very humdrum field to tune up for Whistling Straits. As a result he goes off at 4/1, which to beat 150 odd people in a golf tournament is pretty damn short. I am not interested in Rahm this time, purely because he will see this as a tune up whereas for most of the rest of the field it is a golden chance to grab some early Fedex points and make the rest of their year a lot easier. This is also the first tournament with a shaken-up field as new faces arrive promoted from the Korn Ferry.

    Grillo 40/1
    Ghim 66/1
    Kizzire 80/1
    List 125/1
    Hardy 200/1
    McCumber 250/1

    Dutch Open

    After last week's star-studded affair, the European Tour returns to a much weaker field in the Netherlands this time. In fact, they have attracted a pretty reasonable cast list considering the low prize money, as in the absence of the Ryder Cup stars, some of the middling names jockey for ranking points ahead of the final 60 cut off for the season finale in Dubai. I have always quite liked this event, which moves around between different courses, as the Netherlands has some crackers - Hilversumsche being my favourite. This year however we're at the newly built venue of Bernardus Golf, which on first inspection appears to be one giant sandpit. I saw enough last week from BEEF to think that this might be his week, but I've also gone for a home town boy, as I like to do, and a talented amateur.

    Johnston 25/1
    Besseling 33/1
    Garcia Heredia 66/1
    Kearney 80/1
    Gavins 125/1
    van der Vight 500/1

    Bayern winning by three goals, in Spain, to get 5/1, sounds a little bit...risky.

    Ya, but Jan Venegoor of Grolshbrewery swinging a stick at a ball at 561/1 is okay because everyone's fallen asleep before any kind of result is announced. The state of what's become of this gaff

    You could have had the 175/1 place last week, so basically a 35/1 winner to go alongside 7/2, 12/1 and 45/1 payouts in the last few weeks. Tell me when you last had any of those on the kickball.

    0.2 - 2.30 xG with them walking around in the second half. It was a CR7 raping.

    I'd feel bad for you gammons but I'm sure after so many years, you know better than to doubt my credentials. Even Lofty was probably on it but had to join in on the racist attacks to save face. You're welcome lad, buy the missus something nice and tell her I'll be round later for a reverse midas touch of her dirty clit.

    I said it was a convincing train, shots were only fired once you strayed onto my patch. They keep BLMs like yourself off golf courses for a reason.

    Seems so. I can't see any info but it tends to be sparse on the Euro tour for this sort of thing. Does happen occasionally with people like him who have cards for next year and don't need every penny, so if they have a twinge in the warm up or something they can drop out.

    Kearney bogeyed the last two to lose a place, great job m8.

    Good luck Manc with the Mavster later - I don't think my man Kizzire has much of a chance from four back, but you never know.

    He should be able to take care of Jim Knous (I'm not sure how he's even in this tournament let alone leading it), and from there he has a two shot lead so I'm fairly optimistic for you.

    Mito and Homa the dangers.

    Ryder Cup

    (this is on the long side a la the Masters, but I write it out to get my own thoughts in order so you might as well have it)


    I could go into my usual spiel introducing the tournament, but I think we all know what the Ryder Cup is: United States vs Europe in 28 games of golf to keep the cup for the next two years. It's probably the best event in golf, possibly even the best bilateral event in all of sport, which I think is for two reasons. First of all, the team element sweeps away most of the corporate / money-driven bullshit that normally surrounds and dulls the game of golf, a game that is fundamentally thrilling but has been hamstrung for decades by the boring tossers who run and participate in it. Secondly, this is, to my knowledge, the only major sporting event in which the United States of America - competing as such - is opposed by a rival anything like its size and strength.


    In reality, even the whole of Europe is, on paper, completely dwarfed by America in golfing terms. With money, top events and the generously funded college system all aggressively concentrated within the US of A, European golf is always playing catch up. The USA always names by far the stronger Ryder Cup side on paper. I think there has only been one occasion in history, 2006, when Europe have matched America on paper. All of this points to American domination with Europe as perennial underdogs. Europe are perennial underdogs - and yet they have won seven of the last nine Ryder Cups, which is a real sporting curiosity. Once again, in 2021, USA go off at 1.59 on the exchange, with Europe 3.25 and the tie 14. So will Europe continue their remarkable habit of bucking the odds, or are USA going to get it together this time?

    I don't have much insight into the event, but for me the yanks appear to be short of a few rabble-rousing dickheads who are usually central to their successes. Quite a staid bunch.
