I can't imagine the Poulter selection was popular within the majority of the team - but we'll have to wait for autobiographies to find out!" That's a good last point Al. As it stands, I haven't got too many negatives to throw at Faldo but maybe something will come out later down the line.]]></text>

Typical it's all Faldo's fault pfffft, yeah that would be right despite people like Tony Jacklin saying he doesn't see how Faldo's done anything wrong. Same with Butch and loads of others who actually know the great British people and media are going to crucify him (again). You know like they did because he picked Poulter who is not good enough to play on this team (oh yeah he won a point or two didn't he!!). It was close. We have only won on US soil three times in history why did we think it was going to be an easy game to win. The Amercans played awesome golf under immense pressure. Europe played well, looked together and I think Faldo did a greeat job so please accept USA played better and don't look to blame anyone. Harrington didn't cut it when it mattered but I don't think we should castigate him for it. These games are always close and turn on the odd shot or putt but maybe if Mahan hadn't holed a tram liner on 17 it would have been different, who knows. I don't see why the British media hate winners so much!"]]></text>

								<text><![CDATA[So what do you make of the each captain's strategy? Faldo has bottom loaded according to most experts although a top five of Garcia, Casey, Karlsson, Rose and Stenson looks strong in my book. Azinger has definitely top loaded by going with Kim, Mahan, Leonard, Mickelson and Perry as his top five. Mahan (3pts), Leonard (2.5pts) and Mickelson (2pts) are his three top scorers so far so Azinger is clearly going for broke and trying to finish it early. Faldo, as befits the way he plays the game, is going for patience. His idea will be to hang in there and then kill the US off in those bottom games where he has Poulter, Westwood and Harrington at 10, 11 and 12. It's certainly a gamble putting his big guns out late as the game could be over before they get a chance to make an impact. But the two big decisions Faldo has made in this Ryder Cup - picking Poulter as a wildcard and leaving out Garcia and Westwood in yesterday's foursomes - have proved correct, even 'masterstrokes' according to some.]]></text>

Like everyone, I've gone through the 12 matches and tried to predict each outcome and I'm afraid I'm getting the US coming out narrow winners. However, this big guessing game is an ultimately futile exercise and I'll tell you later how right or wrong I've called it!]]></text>
