Northern Red

Wasn't there today but I've always liked him as a player, got a reasonable scoring record wherever he's been too.

That'll do nicely.

They are getting a guaranteed £3m each, but they will have both been told in no uncertain terms that they need to crank the fake aggro and dislike levels up to 'full moron'. Expect the most embarrassing, manufactured, drawn-out build-up in the history of boxing. Haye wins by KO, whenever he likes. They will then hug outside the ring, talk about how the size difference was just too great, but how brave Bellew was moving up, and then Bomber La retires to spend his cash and Haye goes after Joshua

UK boxing has finally gone full WWE.

Stop embarrassing yourself.

Just didn't have enough penetration at key moments, a lot of which will be a confidence thing, but overall that was a hell of a lot better.

The biggest disgrace of the night was the Mcdonnell decision, no way he won that one. Matchroom special judges at work again.

They are, but we certainly haven't helped ourselves, as usual.

That nonsense with Knockaert's shirt is the most mawkish thing I've seen on a football pitch.

I see the forum's resident sad old mess is embarrassing himself as usual.

Bryan's having a shocker.

Meyer certainly wouldn't be the cheap option, would be a real statement if Bristol got him. Was linked strongly with the England job before Eddie Jones got it.

He won't be, not yet.

Pack it in you oddball.

The sort of game we'd have lost last season.

During his time on this forum, he once stated that he would have got Danny Wilson's City side promoted.

Think Geraghty might prove to be a decent signing. Experienced Premiership fly half who can kick, so an improvement on anything we currently have.

Ignore him. He didn't see the game and has no idea what he's talking about.

It's really not though, is it? Decent Championship side beats another decent Championship side.

Lose on Saturday and there will be people wanting Johnson sacked and half the team sold.

Ha! No, not a chance of Flores doing anything tonight.

Oh look, Haye's there. Prepare for some WWE antics after Bellew wins, with him pointing from the ring and giving it the "hold me back" routine.

Warnock will keep them up. They weren't particularly good tonight but they did a job on us, completely nullified Tammy and seemed quite content to make us try and play through them which we couldn't do.

Mods, any chance the swear filter can be relaxed when they're being used to describe Warnock?
