, fair enough

So do people agree with the idea that the 6N wooden spoon in a given year should be "punished" with a November test against the ENC champion from that year? for what? I would totally agree and I cannot see it as a punishment, especially cause speaking of Italy we normally have a test against a "wea...

Well, he's entitled to his opinion. Except he isn't, because he's talking a load of utter shite. Fine, he hates Scotland. Presumably never got over 1990. His argument doesn't hold up though - largely because pretty much all of it applies to Italy as well, and he seems strangely less keen to jettiso...

I forgot to add we beaten Ireland away and we beaten Scotland also once more prior the 6n. We almost beaten Wales at Llanelli (23 at 20 for Wales). Yes - wery piss poor whipping boys it's the good definition for Italy in 1998-1999 prior 6n admission... Ireland - Italy (4th January 1997 Lansdowne Ro...

The Championship is not a short term affair, there have only been two changes to the make-up of the competitors in the last 120+ years. It also has far more aspects than just rugby, it's success lies in the travelling fans enjoying the hospitality of their hosts. Scotland and Italy will be in the C...

This is the situation of the Arctic Sea extent the 16th of March :

In the meantime it would be wise to take a look to the capital market trends..Italian Stock Market is actually -3.5% for instance

If you look at the Market now the pressure over French public opinion and over the next capo (no matter if it will be Hollande or Sarko ) will be such that if I were Le Pen or Melanchon I would stay out of the dispute since the perfect storm has just begun..and only an other Greece or Italy style o...

The Le Pen vote, and to a lesser extent the Melanchon vote, are pre-warning of what is coming up as the crisis will strike. Because let's face, we haven't yet felt the full extent of the crisis, but as soon as this election is over, unemployment will jump as companies who were postponing restructur...

Just saw that Le Pen has 20% - blimey. Don't read too much into that. This knockout voting system can lead to all kinds of shenanigans including protest and tactical voting. True, but 20% being prepared to tick her name nonetheless is a lot. Anti-system, anti-status quo -protest vote..the same as v...

20% announced, that's HUGE. Once again the pre-election polls have massively under estimated the FN... Hollande 28,4 Sarkozy 25,5 Le Pen 20 Melanchon 11,5 Bayrou 8,5 Bunch of others... The electors of the FN and who they will vote for (if they actually vote) hold the key to the 2nd result. Nice cha...
