Might even get a few mentions on Football focus......Frank Lampards Bristol..

Just no

Lansdown has wanted him for years. Timing perhaps never correct for it to happen

Valuation too high. That's why things don't generally sell

Its a total Power grab from Tinnion. SL not interested, JL a total vacuum, no CEO. He has put himself in a position of power, and can claim he has invented the style of play. The ultimate power to recruit players and also the coach. He can blame the coach for not implemeting "his style of play". Played a blinder, but unfortunately for him - all roads lead to him if we fail. Which we will. Another, in a long line of strategic brain farts.

Completely unrealistic ambition. This has started from Lansdowns Luton quotes, and now become the Mantra "This squad is good enough for promotion". Nigel has probably told them they are on drugs, and upset them. Instead of having a reality check, they double down on this ridiculous ambition. Don't get me wrong - you have to aim high, but temper it with a bit of realism, which is all that Nigel was probably doing in reality

Yes totl nonsense. The only person that crafted any club DNA was Pearson. BT, in particular, seems to have taken that DNA as his own design. Can see through it a mile.

What serious head coach, in their right mind, is going to take direction from someone so unconvincing? As you say - absolutely no Leadership skills or real vision. If he genuinely thinks we have a top 6 squad he is clearly deluded. Its all nonsense We are screwed.

Totally out of his depth.

crayonboy. I hope that filters up to the "management" team.

Totally ****** off by this. We all saw it coming, but the execution of it was pre-planned obvioulsy. The Lansdowns are cowards, the way the have gone about this and being rich does not mean having class. Not a penny out of my pocket goes to the club for the foreseeable. **** right off.

Ah a flagshagger. Ok.

Yes, but what actual point are you trying to make?

Horseshit. Been to see the Bears the last few years?

Brutal but true. The danger is the RFU will say we finished 2nd and 3rd in the last two RWC and whitewash over the failure you highlight. I think a number of retirements with the older players forces a reset - along with Wales. We are both a long way behind the top 4 teams

England Played no 50 over cricket, from the last series against Bangladesh in early March until September. Horrendous planning

England were 45-0, then lost the remaining wickets for 111 runs. Within that was a 47 run partnership between Stokes and Ali. Absolute shit show Oh well, India and the Aussies up soon....

There is a story going around on social media, that Mbonambi was telling Curry to stay on the white side, presumably meaning white shirt side during a scrum etc. In Afrikaans white side is "Wit Kant". With a south african accent, and the noise of the crowd that could certainly be heard as something else

Thanks for that. I wonder what the punishment would have been, if the Ref had heard ?

Very significant, as he is their only specialist hooker in the squad. What i find interesting, is when Curry asked the referee what "to do" after the alleged insult, the reply was "nothing". Are there no protocols in place for onfield racism? Not that long ago Joe Marler called a Welsh player a gypsy, or something similar. He was retro-spectively banned, so im surprised there are no rules for in play punishment

I think the power upfront they have in the scrum will ultimately defeat any team. Its not often you see the likes of Kyle Sinckler broken up so quickly.

Decided by a penalty in the scrum basically. Well played England. Amazing effort - you had SA rattled.

Bloody hell.

Mass exodus incoming if the treat Pearson like this.

This is a co-ordinated Welsh wind up to give us hope. We will get battered
