Big day.....

Well, it's finally here, the day we've all been waiting for. The Big One. We've been here before, we've suffered the pain of watching defeat snatched from the jaws of victory, we've followed the thrills and spills, the incidents, the bad decisions, the inspired genius of top class sportsman at the peak of their capabilities, we've seen their form slump and felt for them as it withered on the vine. The passion, the tension, moments of heart stopping brilliance, and of seeing people choke on the tension. And all to try and win the big one, the prize that eludes all but the very best....

Yep....the US Open starts today and can a Brit bring home the bacon for the first time since Tony Jacklin? Or will Tiger Woods game rise like a Phoenix from the ashes of a disastrous year top once again conquer all before him. My money is on Vijay Singh, or Ernie Els.

Euro 2004 Comment

Apparently we'll playing the diamond formation with Frank Lampard from my beloved Chelsea playing in a defensive midfield role, in front of the back four. Paul Scholes will sit behind the front two acting as playmaker (sic..surely) . Well done Sven Fuckwit, Frank Lampard has scored 16 goals for Chelsea this season in a flat midfield four, he scored against Iceland when England reverted to a normal 4-4-2, and then against France he scored again. So, play him out of position, ask him to curb his natural instinct to go forward and score, and play Paul Scholes who hasn't scored for 3 years in an England shirt as the forward midfield player. Lets hope I'm eating humble pie later tonight when Sven Fuckwit proves me wrong!

Later, Grocerjack

well Ernies currently even in 22 nd place and VJ is currently tied 4th at -2. Nick Faldo +11 at 135, unless he plays a stormer today he'll miss the cut. I'll hedge my bets until the cut but would like to see Padraig Harrington up there

And Another thing , why are most of your commenteers posting as anomymous these days?

I think thats the in-built comments that the new Blogger templates use. It means that people have to put an id in, for which they need to register or they just put stuff up anonymously.

Still think VJ or Ernie can do it.

Judging by play so far it could be Phil Mickelson

Jack, you can go back to using Haloscan or whoever for your comments by turning off/hiding the blogger comments, republishing your blog, pasting in the comment code from Haloscan and then republishing your blog again.
This worked fine for me on my networking blog, I don't like this blogger system at all.
Incidently you dont lose all these comments, they are just hidden.
