Re: England to play at Old Trafford

I agree with mightymouse, the atmosphere is better at Old Trafford as you are closer to the pitch, more fans get to go (less corporate freeloaders!!) and these fans are more knowledable. More Northern fans travel as its closer and they have alot more passion about the game than alot of home counties...

Re: Tom Varndell

TV is one of my favourite players in the game. But for his own good, he needs a change of club. Our backs don't really play. Our backs certainly don't play to his strengths. Our supporters seem to think that a top scoring speed merchant should be judged solely on his tackling skills (which admitted...

Re: Carlos Spencer signs for Gloucester

He must have come cheap. Wouldn't they be over the salary cap otherwise? I can't remember when James Forrester announced his retirement (were we already into this season?), so maybe they have a greater margin to play with because of that. Shedhead 1 here: I think he has come cheap...( I know he was...

Re: Who is this Andy Goode?

I've never been someone who has slagged off Goodey but he is(was?) a very limited player for a fly-half and tended to choke on key occasions. However 1. apparently he isn't the same player now, as Brive use him differently 2. boy oh boy we've missed his cross kicks this season and I'm sure Mark Cue...

Re: Ellis in for Care???

Also announced on skysports, Care turned his ankle. If an ankle has been turned, lets hope not as I rate Care highly, it will be dodgy for Saturday. I agree with other threads an Ellis/Goode partnership would be interesting and highly entertaining. Lets hope England get off to an excellent start!!!

Re: Mercury - Jake White leads race for Tigers post!

Well said Wiggo. Support through thick and thin. If someone wants to give up their S/T that's their business. It hurts to say it but just look at how loyal Saints and Quins fans were when their teams went down. We are 5th in table and in Q/F of HC and people are still moaning. Let's get behind Cock...

Re: JAKE WHITE SEEN IN SPAIN

I DID SEE JAKE WHITE BECAUSE HE CAUGHT THE 12-30 OUT OF ALICANTE, HE HAD A FAST BOARDING CARD IN HIS HAND. HOW MUCH MORE PROOF DO YOU WANT? According to the timetable, the only Easyjet flight out of Alicante on Thursday at 12.30 was destined for Geneva. Obviously off to deposit in his swiss bank ac...

Re: Mercury - Jake White leads race for Tigers post!

I fully expect Cockers to be in charge until the end of the season at least. If he does reasonably well then he'll probably get it full-time. Unfortunately, I don't think our style of play will change much with Cockers at the helm. I'd just like to see us play some decent rugby - i wouldn't care wh...
