He's a total mong. Does he even dress himself in the mornings?

What's this shit about a replacement? Isn't Obertan his replacement?

Don't worry, they may have let him go on a free but they've save £2.6 million on his wages. Result.

Looking at where everyone is born, we're not actually that English. Dan Cole - Leicester, England Alex Corbisiero - New York, US Andrew Sheridan - Bromley, England Matt Stevens - Durban, South Africa David Wilson - South Shields, England Dylan Hartley - Rotorua, New Zealand Lee Mears - Torquay, England Steve Thompson - Hemel Hempstead, England Louis Deacon - Leicester, England Courtney Lawes - London, England Tom Palmer - London, England Simon Shaw - Nairobi, Kenya That's a fucking shock. He was also educated in Spain. Tom Croft - Basingstoke, England Nick Easter - Epson, England James Haskell - Windsor, England Lewis Moody - Ascot, England Tom Wood - Coventry, England Delon Armitage - San Fernando, Trinidad Ben Foden - Chester, England Chris Ashton - Wigan, England Mark Cueto - Workington, England Matt Banahan - Jersey Suppose I'll count that as England. Shontayne Hape - Auckland , New Zealand Mike Tindall - Otley, England Manu Tuilagi - Samoa Toby Flood - Frimley, Surrey (Although he was raised in Morpeth) Jonny Wilkinson - Frimley, England Joe Simpson - Sydney, Australia Richard Wigglesworth - Blackpool, England Ben Youngs - Norwich, England Just under a third were born in England.

I wanted to see the game go to pens so he'd take one, see if he's as good as Shola.

Wigan 1 QPR 0 Villa 1 Wolves 1 Blackburn 1 Everton 1 Chelsea 4 Norwich 0 Swansea 1 Sunderland 1 Liverpool 2 Bolton 0 Newcastle 2 Fulham 1 Tottenham 1 Man City 1 West Brom 1 Stoke 0 Man Utd 2 Arsenal 0

For the record, I'm not slagging Shola off because he's never scored from outside the box. It's because he's lazy.

Sorry, there's no way they're related. Shola is one of the laziest people I've seen and I'm not just talking about in football. Infact my lass is the only one keeping him off bottom. Sammy's bombing down wings, helping out in defence. As a matter of interest, has Shola scored from outside the box before?

Are you supposed to look like Brock off the Pokémon?

That beard is amazing.

The New Zealand Super 12 reject done a'rite for the Lions.

Leave it, cunt. Leave what? I'd never leave it if I was a heroin addict, best place in the NE to get it apparently. Good comeback.

Leave it, cunt.

Wrong side of the law? Nah, he played cricket at my rugby club years ago so when he done his walking from Seaton Sluice to Blyth they finished there. He had this attitude where he wanted to do everything by himself, which is fair enough, but he's shout at anyone trying to help him. He nearly fell off a chair when giving his big speech and then shouted at the women who put her hands out to stop him. Duncan Bannatyne was there though. And yes, he was asked about 50 times to get the round in.

I've met him, well been in the same room as him. Lets just say I didn't like him.

Too harsh?

Some fucking greats ones there.

Reckon you'll win it? It's yours to lose. I honestly think this time you won't fuck it up.

Nice of you to bring an Irish perspective to this, I had a feeling every post was gonna be about England.

Englands 30 man squad was announced at the beginning of the week, here it is: Forwards: (17) Props: Dan Cole (Leicester) Alex Corbisiero (London Irish) Andrew Sheridan (Sale) Matt Stevens (Saracens) David Wilson (Bath) Hookers: Dylan Hartley (Northampton) Lee Mears (Bath) Steve Thompson (Wasps) Locks: Louis Deacon (Leicester) Courtney Lawes (Northampton) Tom Palmer (Stade Francais) Simon Shaw (unattached) Back row: Tom Croft (Leicester) Nick Easter (Harlequins) James Haskell (Ricoh Black Rams) Lewis Moody (Bath) Tom Wood (Northampton) Backs: (13) Full-backs/wings: Delon Armitage (London Irish) Ben Foden (Northampton) Chris Ashton (Northampton) Mark Cueto (Sale) Centres: Matt Banahan (Bath) Shontayne Hape (London Irish) Mike Tindall (Gloucester) Manu Tuilagi (Leicester) Fly-halves: Toby Flood (Leicester) Jonny Wilkinson (Toulon) Scrum-halves: Joe Simpson (Wasps) Richard Wigglesworth (Saracens) Ben Youngs (Leicester) Pretty fucking stupid taking 3 scrum halves when Foden can play there. No way should Joe Simpson be in that squad ahead of Riki Flutey, an inside centre who at a push could also play scrum half. Banahan and Hape aren't good enough centres for England, Fluety and Tuilagi in the centres would have been very interesting to watch and I'm convinced it wouls have worked. Anyway, in honour of Deano, here's my starting XV for the game against Argentina. -- Sheridan -- Hartley -- Cole -- ----- Laws ----------- Palmer -- Croft --------------------------Moody ----------Easter/Haskell ----------- -------------- Youngs ---------------- -------------------- Wilkinson ------------ -------------------------------------- Flood/Hape --------- Tindall Cueto ---------------------------------- Foden -------------------------- Ashton My prediction, we'll win our group, beat France in the 1/4 finals then get put out in the Semis by Australia, who will then lose to NZ in the final. We'll get beat off South Africa in the 3rd place play-off. It could have been so much different with Fluety.

Only 16 days, 14 hours to go, so I thought I'd make you all a thread to keep you updated. No need to thank me. CleeToonFan, you're not allowed to post. Rugby fans (me) are too thick and you'll just end up confusing us (me.)

Just accept the fucking fine. They'll probably take it out of Bartons wages, piss him off abit more.

Fuck off man. Telling a 24 year old man when to go to bed.

Wassat? Whats a wassat? Its like a jusstlikethat, but a whatsthat http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/2199Full He's getting all the celebs involved in getting their followers to sign up.
