You'd think he had done the way he jumped about after it.

And then he went and fecked it up anyway.

Aye but a half point will do.

Then they only need to win 4 more and it looks highly likely that they will with Perry and Weekley virtually home and hosed.

That's it then. Feckin Yanks - no class. As i feared early big guns won it for Azinger.

All I can say (regarding nose-picking and Faldo) I'm glad he picked Poulter over Darren because Poulter was brilliant. Frankly our big three - Garcia, Westwood and Harrington - let us down - or were not in form. Sergio was sick and Westwood had blisters. Faldo was right to sit them yesterday. Hats off to Zinger but I hate American golf fans - shouldn't be allowed on a course. Rant over.

2010 is going to be tasty now.

No idea who'll be in charge for the Europeans but I feel some legend like Freddy Couples might be in line for it for the Yanks.

Must be between Sandy and Ollie, our only major winners not to have done it yet (doubt Lawrie will ever get it).

As a final word, Jug Ears interview with Faldo last night - asked him if he'd be captain again? Again? FFS.

The Americans just wanted it more. They had home and crowd advantage and it counted for a lot, certainly helped carry their journeymen through.

Faldo didn't do that much wrong. The whole point of gambles is that they come off or don't, no grey area.

and they played it on the sort of target golf pitch and putt that favoured their lot. We lost it in the foursomes in particular- Faldo's fault

How can it be Faldo's fault he can't swing the club for them....all he could do was pick 2 wild cards, the rest of the team he can't do anything about....and before anyone starts Megson's different he can pick the whole team & buy and sell players....Faldo couldn't !

Poulter was immense....main reason that we lost was that the Americans played really well and putted great...and our so called 3 best players played shit all weekend......Garcia, Harrington & Westwood, fact is that if those three would have won their singles matches we would have won !

Factually incorrect.

Go on what have I missed ?....would another 3 points not have got us 14 1/2 ?

The Ryder Cup, as a contest, was over by the time Westwood and Harrington's singles matches came to a close.

But would it have been if Garcia had won his singles match ?....which is what I said orginally

Yes, but the honourable gentleman did mention a third name.

That's true, rename the game The If Cup.

Neither could MEgson. Most of his players are from the Lee/Allardyce era.

Aye, the big three all fell down. Of course that could be due to their Captain's selectins policy for the match. LEaving out your best foursomes players for the second day's foursomes is hardly the stuff of genius. Although no doubt thta was what was in Faldo's mind - 'if this comes off I look like a genius'.

One might have imagined that the clueless commentators who railed against Faldo's picking of Poulter might now be too embarrassed to voice their opinions on these matters....

Not big Nick's fault... the US just had a better golf team this time, roared on by raucous home support.

Garcia's putting.... oh my goodness.

And Lee 'would you like some cheese with that whine' Westwood.... grow some balls.

Poulter played well.
Faldo had a mare from beginning to end- PR joke-failed to motivate (didnt even know the names of the Scandinavians)- picked the wrong pairings (in my opinion) esp 2nd day and failed to spot that Azinger was going to try and get points on the board early in the singles.
results dont lie - worst team since ????? and can you say on paper Europe had the inferior players?
