The Batman

I was waiting for one of the clubs to confirm and now they have. 

Yay. Bristol, Bath and Exeter in the playoffs. Good for the South West. 

Bath v bristol final

Would be harsh on Sale in fairness. Correct call imo.

Castres olypique had to forfeit their European match. Leicester were given the win (probably the only way Leicester could win) . Bigger competition 

Yep. Postponed, not forfeited.

Surely they have to postpone all the games that are affected with the top 4 positions in mind 

Waiting for official confirmation but you're right. Can't have final games of the season played on different days. I recall the man utd v Bournemouth game but that was only because of a security error when the game was about to start. 

Rumours that sale game postponed till Wednesday. Unconfirmed as of yet. 

Let's be honest, if sale were not pushing for a top 4 place, this game would have been forfeited already due to safety.

It was Harlequins' recent defeat against Wasps when they had Elia sent off that has potentially buggered us.

Never expect any favours from Quins. Too full of their own self righteousness. 

Eugh. Everyone is gonna win bar Bath aren't they? Sale are going to shit house some crappy win with some retired bloke who had to buy boots tonight to play on the weekend.

Reminds me a bit of the Spurs food poisoning from years ago 

Lasagne - Gate.

Also, rugby World Cup final 1995. All of a sudden the dominant new Zealand team are not as good and there's footage of players vomiting on the sidelines. Something happened there too.

They're lucky Saracens have the points deduction they do, otherwise they'd be toast.

I really fear we're going to regret that Draw. At the time it seemed like a terrible throw away of points. 

Someone on twitter said that if Saracens' original 35 point deduction still applied, Saracens would be 1 point ahead of Leicester going into the last round of games. Shows how far Leicester have fallen. 

Also, great news about sale's possible forfeit of the last game. Means the mighty Bath and evil Bristol are guaranteed a play off place if so.

This one is considered one of the worst Bond movies of all time but I really like it too. It's really fun, it has great bad guys, some stunning locations, great bond girls (although goodnight's character is a bit meh), and great opening and closing scenes. I think lots of people hate the sgt pepper character but I remember as a kid thinking he was a good character too and even now I don't find him too gimmicky.

As for a no.1 movie I probably need to watch the Connery ones again to check but it's got to be one of his.

Goodnight? Goodnight? Goodnight? 

Good night sir

What is everybody’s favourite Bond film?

It has to be Goldfinger for me. Pure class! 

Mentioned it in an earlier post, mine is From Russia With Love. 

Agree with @Lrrr, goldeneye is a quality film. Probably my 3rd favourite behind Thunderball. FRWL has always been my favourite.

With the way CGI is advancing, it won't be long before they could do a new Connery Bond movie with it being impossible to tell it's a computer character.

Wasted a lot of time playing this. My favourite bond film made into a computer game.

Badly dated now but at the time, it was immense.

Hardy would be good. I think the franchise needs a rethink and reboot.

At this point, as much as i don't like Cruise, the last few Mission Impossible films have done these sort of movies better..

 

I liked the idea that someone made a while ago (not on here) that they do a hard reboot and go back to the 60's with the story lines. Something different. Doubt anyone involved  would go with it though.

Tom Hardy rumoured to be the new James Bond 

Yeah I saw that yesterday. Too old now. You'll get 2 (possibly 3) films out of him. 

Ed Westwick or Richard Madden for me.

It can't be as bad as Quantum of Solace or Spectre.

If it's up there with Casino Royale & Skyfall then I'll be happy enough.

Quantum of solace is the worst film ever made. I thought warriors of vitrue was the worst film ever but QOS beat it. 

But it introduced me to Olga Kurylenko. So I can't hate it too much, but it was utter dross.

Lets just say her and her friend have some "fun" with Keanu Reeves- but ends badly

Mrs Batman and I are no longer together so I think I'll give that movie a go now. 

Looking forward to this one most out of the Craig era. Mostly because of Ana de Armas but having freddie mercury as a baddie i know will be awesome. 

Phwoar

Wasn’t it the Bolton chairman that wanted the premiership ring fenced 

karma .....

Yes it was. Gartside at the time. Feel for supporters but nothing for the club itself.

Careful now. 

Will have to convince Mrs Batman that the film will be worth a watch

For anyone that doesn't know Ana De Armas

@The Batman I assume you have seen "Knock Knock" ?

Nope only blade runner 2049 with her in. Will look it up. 

 phwoar!!!!! 

Might make this bond film worth watching. 

Can make this a general Bond 25 thread if you all wish. Thought I'd share the joyous news.

Spot on.  If you watch Rugby on BT it is dominated by ex Leicester or ex London based players.  No Mark Regans or Gareth Chilcotts.  The only one not from the English rugby 'establishment' is Sam Warburton who incidentally tipped Bristol to beat Bath on BT the other night.  

Correct - he did, on Rugby tonight last Wednesday.

I am a Bath Supporter, and I just knew we'd lose to Bristol on Friday. We dont have Joseph & Watson, RJC guy is going to be weighed down by the cash in his pocket. Priestland is the most frustrating 10 in World Rugby.

Plus, we lost to Bristol the last time we played each other. This was never going to be an easy game for Bath.

We have Glos this week at home then Quins away. Must get maximum points from those two games. A win at home to Glos and a Bonus Point Win against Quins is what I think we'll get.

Anyway, this is a Bristol Bears' thread - congratulations on victory. All the best for the season. Hoping you establish yourselves in the Prem so we can play each other more often.
