But Man City is the new Man U! Man U sucks! :dance: :dance: :banana: :banana:

That's true. It's a little like if I viscerally hated the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jags aren't hurting anybody.

LOL, whoops.  Yes I do see it now ... although it hadn't occurred to me when I wrote it.  Me and my dangling participles. And I gave @RonTheSavage crap for something similar just yesterday!!

I'll keep quiet, wouldn't want to land you in the Spelling/Grammar thread... :-P

Any chelsea fans here? If so i bet you're glad to have shipped out Torres for 2 years!

As kind of an outsider, I find Torres' career arc fascinating.

He actually tried to bite my genital. He was suspended two games....Forgot to mention Roger Goodell is our commissioner on his off time.

I do feel sorry for him really. He was such a good young player at Madrid and then came to liverpool and was practically a god. Then got snapped up by the big money offers and has never really had a good game since. Sad to see him struggle so much and almost become a villain at chelsea.

He's the time of player to suck...then score 58 goals against freakin Tahiti. He made "the Fernando Torres" hat trick famous. Miss with left foot, miss with right foot, miss with head. I don't feel sorry for him. Of course, as someone who does not like chelsea or Spain...I love him! Sad to see him go

He played almost exactly the same amount of games at Liverpool and Chelsea. He scored 65 goals for Liverpool compared to only 20 at Chelsea. Granted, there are reasons for that (a bit more of those games at Chelsea were against stronger Champions League teams, he had more competition among teammates to score goals at Chelsea, and he came off the bench more), but that's still an insane drop off. He's also a tall Spanish striker at a time when an historically great Spanish team didn't have another tall guy in the middle who could finish, and yet he never really excelled there either.

For the record: I do not only have one genital.

Yikes. Everton's defense and Timmy Howard absolutely getting their BELL RUNG. 6-3 loss to Chelsea.

Yesterday's results where pretty crazy! Fingers crossed Liverpool can take 3 points this afternoon to capitalise on Man city slipping up against stoke

Just watched the highlights of the Everton-Chelsea game. Insane game. Those are the first 6 goals Tim Howard has ever let in, correct?

    • Hello Everyone, I am moving to a new house and first thought... let's have a room for indoor golf practice! I know many of you love to record your swings, but indoor there is always the issue of the blurred clubhead at impact due to the poor lighting compared to practicing in the sunlight. Has anyone figured out a combo of camera and indoor lighting to get good results at 240fps,  720p?  
    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.
    • Wordle 1,070 3/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost.
