Golf: "No one loves us, no one loves us, no one loves us, we don't care." The anthem created by Millwall football fans has spread far and wide and is now sung by supporters of Barnet, Bury and even Power Wevelgem in Belgium and the Luxembourg rugby team. No kidding.

And we wouldn't be surprised if Seve Ballesteros and caddy are holed up somewhere in Pedrena this week singing the same tune. Some people put the beginning of Seve's end down to an obsession with winning the US Open. It was all very well for him to spray the ball around Augusta and Saint Andrews and let his magical short game get him out of trouble and into the winner's enclosure.

In short, the theory is that he tried to change his natural game to cope with the US Open conditions, where accuracy off the tee is at a premium, and got confused by all the advice he took.

There was still enough goodwill towards Seve to prompt 192 managers to employ him when our season started in March but his recent spats with officials seem to have eroded that support. Even with the promise of some Cutter & Buck apparel, not one of the 192 could manage an e-mail backing their choice.

However, we will send something to Olivia Moore, who at least tried to do some research by visiting www.seveballesteros.com. You hardly need Olivia's language skills to understand "Listado de directio no permitido - Accesso prohibido". Seems like Seve is out of bounds, even in Cyberspace. Does no one love him anymore?
