Bath gate again but this time no Charlie and Coffee shops.

So the are lost burgess under a cloud, Grewcock gone, Mafi left after an altercation, fa'osilivia sacked for fighting and now they sack the manager for 1 poor season.

How long before Craig pulls the plug?

Controversial tweet by George Chuter...

"In my opinion, Ford has been great."

In a determined attempt to justify a statement which clearly goes against the established view on the Barf forum and elsewhere, Chuter qualifies his opening remarks...

"I've owned a Fiesta, a Focus, and a Kuga. I've never been let down." #NoBreakdowns

If that is true then it could have a devastating affect on the family, so hopefully it is wrong.
If true however then perhaps best to give George the summer off to get his head straight, and take Farrell and Cips to Aus.

As far as I can see, apart from the headline there is no suggestion at all in the piece that Bath were interested in Lancaster or that he had snubbed them. Dreadful 'journalism'.

If the Daily Mail told me today was Wednesday I'd still feel the need to check a more reliable source.

With regards to Bath, it appears the smart money might be on Cockers' predecessor Heyneke Meyer.

An interesting choice. Awful circumstances that led to his untimely departure from us but there were a number of us shifting uncomfortably at the way we were playing under him before he took his leave of absence. As I recall it, as soon as Cockers took over we looked A LOT better with the same players.

Bath have got a tremendous amount of potent, pacy backs. Would a Meyer side get the best out of them? I'm not so sure.

It's hardly the official organ of the BNP and EDL. More celebrity tat and salacious sideboob. Online I think it has one of the better layouts of the free sources but the material makes me cringe.

It really may as well be at times. Some of the propaganda it spins on immigration is truly vile.

It might have a nice layout, but Mein Kampf was separated into nice logical chapters too.
