Warren Gatland wonders if England have already played their World Cup final Wales coach: "We have seen in previous World Cups that teams sometimes play their final in semi-finals and don't always turn up for a final" Matt Dawson: If you could choose a combined XV from England and South Africa at this World Cup, you would choose all England players. So in Saturday's final, if South Africa play exactly the same as they have done throughout the tournament, I think England can handle it. I cannot see how South Africa's gameplan is going to work against a side who are going to match them physically.

CHARIOT FOR SALE; wheels appear to have come off.

Fuckin hell man...

BP to run in every seat in Scotland too...there isn't enough yogurt and eggs in the kingdom

@Dr Gloom where are the lib Dems taking 20 Tory seats? You're assuming all the Tory defectors will get re elected? 🤔

Corbynism is a cult. Some good policies but FFS look at them

Just found this account...it’s a fuckin joy

Cheers hope you’re enjoying your European campaign. Got to say though I was at Molineaux last season and your wanky light display before the players cane out reminded me of a particularly shite Emerson Lake and Palmer concert. Have a word, it’s not what footballs about. Having said that the atmosphere was as good as anything ive heard in years at a premier league ground 👍

BURN HIM

Wales are out, beaten by a penalty in the last five mins by South Africa. The coach Gatland has just said they gave away too many penalties in their own half...

The thing about this England team for me is how few penalties they give away. Their standard of technical play at the breakdown is unreal. They’ve had brilliant packs in the past but they gave the opposition chances by being dirty bastards. All that’s gone.

If Johnson gets the WAB through in any form he’ll piss a mid December election. Fuck that. Tell him to go fuck himself Jezza

Think she's shagged him at some point??

There may be a good reason for the cunt to be making these comments

He’s going to call a vote of no confidence in himself according to sauces

Will he pull WAB to force GE? 🤔

Some Tory called Jenrick avoiding every point Nicky Campbell is attempting to skewer him with. Apparently if this shit gets through and there's no FTA after 12 months its as ewerk says and the default no deal is back. These cunts aren't giving up.....

Shearer did a good doc about Alzheimer's in retired footballers. Jeff Astle's daughter fuckin annihilated Gordon Taylor at the PFA over it.

First round FA cup draw tonight.. https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/fa-cup-draw-start-time-tv-channel-ball-numbers-and-prize-money-as-79-teams-go-into-the-hat-a4266941.html 79 teams so one gets a bye... My mates just been on the phone...he's a Bournemouth season ticket holder but says he's bored fuckin shitless with them We're both occasional visitors to Poole Town who need a replay v Hayes & Yeading at home tomorrow night so we're going...were also going to go to the next round home or away...it'd be a bit ironic if they got through and drew the mackems

Going well at Stormont too

In my experience it's mostly middle income/lower middle class tossers (some of whom I consider to be my closest friends) who treat it as a social occasion and know next to fuck all about rugby... thet are also aware that muscle bound rugger buggers attract large numbers of semi posh women who are less likely to reject their clumsy advances if theyve got a prosecco induced wide on after salivating over Johnny Smithers-Smyth of Harlequins & England for a couple of hours The actual players are quite often decent lads if you enjoy buggery and communal singing of offensive songs 👍

Cheers @ewerk I think I still see things differently. But I can see what you're saying. The speaker isn't going to allow another vote on Johnson's deal today. Apparently theres some precedent from the 1600s that stops it.

Yeah you're right. Seems like (to me, a fairly uninformed observer) that a general election delivering an overall majority for the Tories is all they need to get their Brexit through and thats been their sole aim since Johnson has become PM. Any extension doesn't quite give them an open goal but it's a great opportunity. They've plainly "war gamed" all this and know what their options are every time the road seems blocked. Maybe I'm crediting Cummings with far too much here but they always seem to have their next move ready straight away. As far as I can make out theres just as much chance of a no deal Brexit now as there was when Johnson became leader either by design or default. The arch remainers even with the backing of the highest court in the land aren't winning this as we sit here 11 days from the next Brexit deadline. Obviously there's now another extension but that's equally another opportunity for no deal as it is for...what exactly? A people's vote resolves nothing. It'll undoubtedly be legally binding this time but in reality it resolves nothing outside of Westminster.
