Tv car ads. Every single one of them is electric. Is that all they are allowed to push now?

It's f**king depressing. Year after year Petrostate FC sweeping up all around them.

Teams with the most money buy the best players.

When has it ever been any different?

Not in my lifetime.

City have been spending above the budget cap and cooking the books to hide it. Their accounting and law department is bigger than the FA complete administrative organisation.
Would have been nice for another club to win PL but I'm hoping Liverpool can finish second for moral bragging rights if nothing else. On another subject I think Villa are doing a fantastic job this year and making the three above them look silly like Watkins is only one goal off PL top scorer.

Watkins has went up a level this year. He should go to the euros but Southgate is reluctant to change his style to suit him when Kane is unavailable.

The likes of tielemans on a free has been great business. I don't think he's a guaranteed starter if the squad is fully fit but by God has he been useful for large parts of the season.

I have to say Peter Drury wore me down a little yesterday. Repeatedly roaring "And Bakayo Saka" or "And Leandro Trossard" with every half chance. Maybe I should have put this in the gear grinding thread. 

I actually turned it off with a couple of holes to go. Scheffler was never going to lose that and the chasing pack were mostly crumbling.

That swing follow through of scheffler's is mad. It looks to be an injury waiting to happen.

I didn't think it was a red but it was very close to being one. He can count himself lucky

[City have made team afraid of them]

The bigger picture with Villa is that they played a weakened side v City 11 days ago, so they'd be fresh for Brentford on that weekend. Which sort of backfired in a 3-3 draw. Villa did no such thing against Arsenal today. And that's what you're up against. City have made team afraid of them, that you'll get noting - even if you try. Arsenal don't have that.

Liverpool won't be playing a weakened Villa side either.

I take your point but villa easily beat city in the reverse fixture earlier in the season. Emery took the foot off the gas for this meeting yes as the squad was struggling with injuries and Brentford and Lille to come.

Just out of the cinema there after watching the Amy Winehouse film. You know what you are getting with these music biographies but it was very enjoyable. A tortured soul with an abundance of talent. Sad.

Reddit would be one of the more popular i'd say.  It's such a huge community though.  You can narrow it to more specific areas of interest.

[He's still well in this]

Good round from McIlroy. Wasn't at it on the first 6 holes, whether it was mental or swing but kept himself in it with some great patient play. That's probably the worst score he could have shot from round where he didn't bring his A game.

Scheffler is the opposite, played great and got lots of lucky bounces. On the 13th he should have been in the water and staring at bogey rather than simple up and down for birdie, but you need luck to win too. McIlroy was inches from a tap in birdie on 13 rather than a tricky downhill putt, that could have easily been a 2 shot swing. DeChambeau similarly blessed with luck. The 17th for McIlroy on another day the drive isn't as penal on the swing and the approach rolls into the bunker (what he was trying to do) rather than out the back, so he has a chance of getting up and down.

Bar the 16th missed opportunity, I think the rest was ok. He could have been 4 under with a few breaks (13, 16 and 17 cost him) without being anywhere as at the level of the 2 leaders. He's still well in this.

Certainly not the disaster round that he can sometimes have. If he does his usual and has a very low scoring round then he will certainly be well in the mix.

Some poor enough results for the English sides last night that wont help the hunt for the 5th CL spot.  Villa the only team with a win, and by the looks of it they'll have a very difficult trip to France.  How Watkins doesnt get a penalty awarded I'll never know.

Quare change considering Derry were playing in front of a few hundred in Div4 not so long ago.

A delay because of the weather already.  It does give a good few days though. Could be a difficult day today.

[Omagh are back to back MacRory and Hogan Cup winners and have had 1 all star in the last 2 years]

Perhaps a mix of trials and actual performances would be a better system to pick the team. Omagh are back to back MacRory and Hogan Cup winners and have had 1 all star in the last 2 years. Daly and McCullagh missing out on all stars shows the current system doesn't work.

Pretty damming that.

Golf memberships have been a waste of money

Disgraceful from Saka. Never a penalty.  This Arsenal side always seem to have something to moan about.
