Re: The OFFICIAL English and European Football (soccer) thread

You mean that an understrength England played a friendly against the No 4 side in the world and outplayed them a high-quality draw? Honestly, the relentless misery of England football fans is baffling. Nothing is ever good enough. Belgium didn’t have KdB. You might have heard of him? Probably the b...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

Italy and Scotland both beat us in the 6N and Argentina beat us in the RWC. At the moment we are less successful than countries with two clubs and a country with one club. Yes - those teams have bulging trophy cabinets....... They've won as many RWCs as we have, and are all currently ranked higher ...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

Looks like the Dregs are likely to post a loss in the region of £2m, against a turnover of <£10m. Hardly a shining examples of financial management either. At some point the penny is going to drop, and we're going to realise that there's not enough money being generated to support four regions. I d...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

That would be a million quid back alone. The more I read about how the reejuns are run, the more depressing the future looks. How are we letting a club with a turnover equivalent to the poorest side in the Premiership spend fortunes on relics like those three, and then post such a massive loss? For...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

Or it could just be that these players are looking at the standards of coaching and development available to them in Wales, and deciding to maximise their potential (income) by moving to a club where they have a chance to learning to be a decent pro. It could be that Baxter is a c*nt? Forget about ...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

Let's predict when Wales will next win a game of rugby. I'm going with Autumn 2025. I'm going bullish so I'm saying we'll win 1 2024 AI game and 1 2025 6N game. I'm also predicting Gats will resign at the end of year. I think we'll win 1x game out of Aus x2 or Fiji on the Summer tour if Anscombe / ...

Re: The Official Welsh Rugby Thread

I'd like to see Max Llewelyn given another go - I know he's not been setting the world alight at Gloucester, but he's shown in the past that he can be a physical threat at 12, as well as having some nuance to his game.

He's also played with Grady a lot. Like to see him included on the Summer tour.
