liking montys decision to tell everyone theyre playing on friday :

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2010/sep/22/colin-montgomerie-ryder-cup-pairings

would get short odds on rory/gmac first off i reckon.

blackwaterfish

this has been brought to my attention.

poulter already taking the piss out of USA uniforms:

nice one "IJP"... you dick!

Mister Sifter

Poulter, just like Faldo did, would also make you support the Americans in the Ryder Cup. Some of the crap he's been coming away with on Twitter this week has been pathetic.

I see he's again giving it the old "oh, IJP is hitting it awesome/playing amazing/ going low/ big one coming" bollox. Let the clubs do the talking Poults. Something they've not done in over 6 months.

What odds on Poulter having a 0 after his name in the points column after the Ryder Cup is over. I certainly would be tempted to stick a few quid on it. Part of me almost hopes i'm right too.

He's an arse.

blackwaterfish

sadly... at the risk of sounding homo.... but he's an arse europe needs.

Ugh.

he may just be the new garcia, a total arsehole that once every two years is inspira..... nope, lets just leave at total arsehole.

Dr.Silly

Personally speaking, 13/8 for the US to win is the safest bet of the year

i reckon Conno is gonna take ye off his christmas card list!!!

Interesting interview with Ken brown & jose maria re 1999 ryder cup:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00tt837/5_live_Sport_The_Ryder_Cup_Years_Brookline_1999

Have to say, still bitter about this one. Stunning comeback tho in fairness.

fair play to Paddy & lawrie... rookies brought home the points on sunday.

This is contrary to some posters a very tight RC. Looking at the splits in World Rankings it shows very little between them.

Europe USA
4 in top 10 5 in top 10
3 from 10 to 20 3 from 10 to 20
3 from 20 to 30 1 from 20 to 30
1 from 30 to 40 2 from 30 to 40
1 @ 42 1 @ 49

I know stats are not all there made out to be but!!!!!!

mag

yep, i think itll go down to the wire this one. backload the singles with kamer, gmac & rory and hope for the best.

I recommend you download sopcast & veetle. Veetle streams are close to tv quality.

Speak Now

So who will the 4 Europeans to play 2 matches on day 1.

My guess Kaymer,McDowell,McIlroy and Westwood.

JerryHandbag

Montys mind games goin into overdrive today.....calling Tiger the best ever.

He also said "the cup will be won with a Sunday putt". Well I suppose he has to say that stuff to the media, in reality I bet he wants to hand the yanks an almighty beating

1916

Is it not a little odd that 3 days before the start the Ryder app still isn't out. I guess someone must have dropped the ball, or maybe missed the putt

Based on the tuesday practice, it looks like Harrington could be paired with Donald!! I'm going to ignore that for now. Here's my guess at day 1 pairings:

Fourballs:

Mcilroy/Mcdowell
Westwood/Jiminez
Kaymer/Harrington
Fisher/Poulter

Foursomes:

Mcilroy/Mcdowell
Westwood/Hanson
Kaymer/Donald
Molinari/Molinari
