I do not give you that capacity. Three in a row poke? Hell, I was hoping you were right about him winning because I like Paddy a lot. He is one of my favorites.

He is one of my favorites. Yes, he does seem a truly likable individual.

Perhaps they can bring a little more fun back into the professional game?

FWIW, there really aren't any brits currently that I don't like. Spaniards, now, that is a different story.
