Massive Boost For Rugby Coming

Originally posted by Tea Ticket Now now, children.   It's not a peeing up the wall competition - our national sides all have their share of those who were not born here, but want to play for us. Take it as a complement. They have chosen to play for us, often having married into their new country and many will never leave.

I am becoming far to sincere and am not in rant mode today - please accept my apologies, everyone. I am becoming the man I said I never would.

Originally posted by Exiled_Scots   Now now Lost Forward – Talking of accents, I take it that the new England centre will be trying to remove his Maori tilt to his accent?? But there again, given the number of Southern Hemisphere accents who have been in the England squad I am sure he will fit in well. The list of present and past members is endless. Unfortunately, says a lot for the vast number of many up and coming young centres available to England, when you have to resort to parachuting a 29 year old foreigner into the team for his debut, given that he has only been playing the game for 2 years and reportedly by the media looked well out of his depth at International level last Saturday. Great scrum, shame about the rest. There again maybe this should be on a separate thread. Alas, we can all look forward to another International victory next weekend, there again maybe not all of us, if last weekends performance is anything to go by.

  Wahey, a bite!! 
 At least your poach turned out to be half decent. England's recent ones have ranged from good in parts (Flutey) to OMG is that really the best inside centre available (Hape)!
  It seems to be a coaching problem, players who turn in consistently good performances for their clubs sudenly turn to rat peanute when England get their mitts on them.
  The whole structure needs a good clear out IMO, from 'squeaky' downwards - just what exactly is his role, and how does he justify his salary?
   Anyway, thats enough of a thread derail for now. Besides, what do I care - I'm Cornish! Only support Engerland when there's a Cornish boy playing, otherwise I'm not really bothered.

Cannot make up my mind whether the inability of the England soccer side to beat Algeria is a good or bad thing. 

Camquin, 

Allan, they are overpaid, but untalented? I am not sure that is fair.




They are just rubbish at football. (Miracle coming?)

Harsh! England were a revelation compared with last Saturday, in both halves. More pace, more physical at the breakdown, more ambition and more youth. Lawes & Youngs were excellent. We must be less conservative and give players opportunities at an earlier age. Class is permanent, inexperience is temporary.

Much more work to do before we can routinely challenge NZ, SA & Oz. But progress certainly.

As to whether I was fair to the England footie players by suggesting that they lack talent, I think not. Many of those guys last night are so far from being international class that it's embarrassing. Fair enough, they can only do their best. But let everyone, most of all the players themselves, recognise that, technically, they're not even in the same league as the best players in the world.

Let's all look forward to a tiny bit of the 2003 comparative glory when two England teams looked so different in preparation, talent and intensity.

I had a good weekend, until I came on this thread.

David Blaine is reportedly p*223d off. Apparently his 42 day record for hanging around in a box doing phek all has just been broken by Wayne Rooney. 

Osama bin Laden has just released a new TV message to prove he is still alive. He said that the England Team performance on Saturday was completely s$%t. British intelligence have dismissed the claim, stating that the message could have been recorded any time in the last 44 years.

Robert Green - The only man to leave Africa with out catching anything.

In a statement from Broadcasting House, it was announced that all future England games will now be shown on the g.a.y p.o.r.n channel. It is thought that 11 a**eholes being regularly shafted is too explicit for regular TV.

I can't believe we only managed a draw against a s$%t team we should easily have beaten......I'm ashamed to call myself Algerian.

The England team went to visit an orphanage in South Africa this morning. "Its so good to put a smile on the faces of people with no hope, constantly struggling and facing the impossible," said Jamal Omboto, aged 6.

What's the difference between Rob Green's spill and BP's spill?
Robert Green has got a cap for his.

Fabio Capello was wheeling his shopping trolley across the supermarket car park when he noticed an old lady struggling with her bags of shopping. He stopped and asked, "Can you manage dear?" To which the old lady replied, "No way. You got yourself into this frigging mess, don't ask me to sort it out..."

A man walks into a brothel in Amsterdam and says to the Madam.." I'm really kinky and want to be totally humiliated,how much will it cost?" Madam replies," £37.50" "WOW" man says "What do I get for that?" Madam looks up and says " a f*@kin England shirt!!"
