Merson always conveys the subtelty of a charging Rhino at 40 paces
but removing the emotion from his argument, had at least, a point to make.
AW, for all his cerebral intellect,offers very little in the way of culpability or a game plan to address the glaring problems that are laregly of his own making.
The ones I would put on a pedestal do not put forth opinions, as such.
It is a difficult one, because if Monty is right, then we have to take note of Paul Ince* for one.
*Name picked at random from a long list of failed managers. See also Stuart Pearce.
difficult one - surprised by the very negative reports I've read
Simply lost to a very good team. Farrell can f**k off though - I'm bored with him. Outstanding forward effort - very impressed with Attwood. Think you are a bit harsh on Barritt, he is a very competent rugby player aside from his defensive qualities. I think we have to be realistic and say our best centre pairing is him at 12 with Tuilagi outside him - all the others have talent but not consistency or their wea.
Then again my pre-match comment on the team was what f**king point was it picking a winger who can only go sideways and he promptly scores a great try within two minutes :-)
WD Ireland , England will beat Australia ..Wales might beat Fiji now hook back
though need to f**k that Rhys scrum half back to where he came
i had 1 pint at rugby..a pie and a pint.. and a Bratwurst before
Last season the only "glaring problem" according to most was that we didn't have a world class
striker.
Indeed, most were of the opinion that had we ought one the previous summer, we may well have won the league.
Agree on Farrell. I thought they would've picked Ford, especially with
Farrell not having played much recently. You have to wonder if Andy being a part of the coaching setup is having a bearing on his selection.
I guess we could see a Tuilagi/Burgess pairing :cloud9:
Arsene is ways too smart for that....he punched in the code for 30 extra lives...
I really hope Burgess comes through
6ft 5 and the skills of a Cipriani
