Show off! Look at that consistently elevated and repeatable trajectory! Wait, it's a duck hook isn't it? 😁
You know how in football when a player lashes at a shot but it goes out for a throw in and everyone pi$$es themselves?

It's that, but golf.

They're away att West Ham so too big a risk.
Because they looked very good against Newcastle and now I know the play West Ham I still think they could easily win

Bearing in mind if they fail to win at West Ham you're out of the competition, would you still pick them though?
I'm going for either Spurs (home to wolves) or Chelsea (away to Leeds) - I think???

Was onto France 24 last night and they were showing the massive forest fires in SW France.

I cannot understand why Sean Dyche is still unemployed!
He has put himself out there, even last week he said he was still waiting for the phone to ring.
Strange really...he was touted and praised by other clubs and media presenters while managing the Clarets.
Hope you get a good job soon Sean....forever a Claret.

I think Dyche will be back in football before Christmas. October/November is when the panic buttons start getting pressed. Lampard will most likely the first EPL manager to go, though Everton will no doubt go for another 'name', rather than EPL experience.

Dyche & Forest are a perfect fit.

As I posted on another thread: "I don't get the current obssession with people trying to limit content to their strict personal interpretation of the thread title. Conversation meanders, often tangentially, and is all the richer for it...imo."

This thread has no rules on staying on topic. It welcomes diversity of thought and randomness whilst respecting all the (implied) rules of conduct on this board.

So, if you want to talk about any aspect of playing style, formation, player attributes, budgetary considerations, hospitality, whether OT is in Salford or not, Chelsea's collar, or anything else without fear of offending others, then this is the place for you!
Brilliant thread Duffer.

Hippos can run faster than humans on land and swim faster than humans in water which means the bicycle is your only chance of beating a hippo in a triathlon.

But hippos have a worse sense of direction than the average human so you'd get to your bike quicker
