    I agree there is a major split of opinion with Tiger, I get up the golf club every weekend and he is a hot topic of conversation, some with your view some with mine. I think the media thing is a bit full on but if he starts winning again which I think he will, the Tiger show may be here for a while which I for one don't mind.

    Love Tiger Woods, great player before all his issues. Would be awesome to see him back at his peak, but I don't think it will happen long term and think this revival might just be a flash in the pan.

    You may well be right, would be good to see how much he wins if he could stay healthy for a few seasons.

    England women leading Ireland in the Six Nations by 19-3, including 3 tries. Two scored in a maul....Ireland can't stop them once they get going. Enjoyable game.

    England women won 33-11. Shame they lost by 1 point last week to France, so have lost the 6 Nations.....finishing second.

    England have turned into a complete mess under Jones.

    As Jones said himself, they were world beaters less than a year ago, now they are a mess.

    Fans are hilarious.

    Yes, what was it? 31 consecutive wins including 3-0 in Australia, and suddenly he’s ****? Some very short memories I fancy. This will be clear-out time before the World Cup.

    England´s rugby team humbled, the England cricket team a shambles, the England football team just not very talented, our Government so totally clueless, so it is up to our ladies teams, Mo Farah and Hamilton to restore British pride.

    Kimi might be behind him on the track, but he burns him with just a look!

    There are few things more satisfying than sad Hamilton.

    Great job by my boy Charles LeClerc too - bringing the crappy Sauber home ahead of a Williams and Toro Rosso.

    Yes, he did well and good to see Alonso heading in the right direction.

    Murray says he will play in the Rotterdam Open at the end of June after hip surgery. I wish him the best....he has had injury problems since he was young....let's hope he still has a few years left in him.

    I don’t usually post loads about the NFL in here as it’s not everyone’s cup of tea but thought this was worth sharing:

    http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...ffin-plans-to-attend-2018-nfl-draft-in-dallas

    This guy has had one hand the whole time he has been playing probably the most physically demanding team sport. If not the most, then the one which places the most emphasis on speed/size/strength and is looking like he will be drafted. To put it in football terms it is like being in the top 250 players of players aged 22-24, which is phenomenal. And if he goes in rounds 3-4 then top 150. A ridiculous example of what you can achieve if you really want something
