A bunch of Bentley-driving, carpark picnic-ers (and that's just the Team) losing to a Nation that still lives its Rugby.
Was I bovvered? Nope. Not a bit. I'll support any outfit that plays Rugby of the ever-hopeful, mud-stained, eff-you peasant variety. PS - Always been more a Wales Supporter than one of the Sais Shower. Bit of both, you see?

Sorry Taff,
Didn't look athe social board went on holiday to Madeira, far better than watching England. Still we won at Gloucester whilst I was away so that made up for Enland losing |

Paul,
Now a voice of reason has arrived after Taffs hysterical ramblings  .
My predictions for the weekend :- I think England will probably go and fall apart at Murrayfield, after their Paris heroics, it's bound to happen !

Well that was desperate wasn't it? Ultimately you have to ask yourself the question why is it that players who perform well week in week out for their club
sides are incapable of looking like anything more than rank amateurs when they pull on an England strip. Personally for me the buck stops at the coaching setup
these players aren't that bad but this whole concept of Ashton putting responsibility for decisions on the players is flawed any team needs strong
leadership you only have to look at the improvements in the Wales squad to realise the benefits of strong leadership. Were england heroic in france? No the
french got there tactics all wrong and were unable to change and adapt.

Paul.....did you pick 6 numbers for tonite as well???? Uncanny!
Listened to the last 10 of Wales match and the England Debacle on the way back from Manchester! I console myself by thinking it could be worse...I could be an English Chelsea fan!!! Roll on next weekend...Bring on the Frogs!! A VERY VERY happy Taff! |

OK,
Three out of Three ! Next weekend I reckon :- Wales to get The Slam in a full bloodied encounter in Cardiff.......... England to fall to bits once again against Ireland (probably be their worst ever finish !) And I fancy Scotland to turn over Italy away......... Cheers Paul M.............. |

What a great weekend
 Triple Crown, FA Cup Semi Final, bring it on. 
Huw keep an eye on the big man next week 
After all, a slip into the Taff and there's a ticket going spare. 
Cheers

Haye was superb ! Talked the Talk and Walked the Walk !
The sight of Macrenllei staggering around the ring after the knockdown was comedy at it's best ! I fully believe that if he steps up to Heavyweight he will do the business there too ! Clarkie, you can try m8, but you'll be coming in with me !
Agree about Ashton though, don't think he has the passion or commands respect like other coaches ! Look at Wales, same pool of players who went out of The World Cup to Fiji ! Just a different, brave coaching set up ! Their defence was superb and as Huw said to me, they'e learne to 'Win Ugly' and grind victories out ! Next Saturday should be a cracker ! Cheers Paul M............ |

The trouble starts at the top with our RFU. Change is needed right through, Francis Baron, on a big salary for doing s*d all, Rob Andrew someone tell me what
his job is? The other problem is AShton doesn't get on with his forwards coach John Wells. I'know Wellsy personally and he's a great forwards
coach, Ashton is to to placid. Why do we persevere with players from a club that never does anything, Wilko, Flood, Noon.
Wilko hasn't really played well all season, Noon and Flood are no better than average. Forwards where is the leader, Vickery a raging bull don't make me laugh, he's not playing well enough to be in the team. Rant over Paul |
