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

Interesting quote on the BBC website re Man Utd:
They faced 28 shots here, their highest total on record in a Premier League game at Old Trafford, and 62 in all in two league meetings with Liverpool this season - and yet have not lost in three games, the FA Cup tie included.

We've got ours. Season Ticket holders only until 1 pm tomorrow, isn't it ? Another 35 - 40k attendance will fill Leinster's coffers nicely. Ah yes, the "exclusive" pre-sale link which could be forwarded to anyone. Dunno if they'll get 35-40k. They didn't even get 40k last night and they'd been plug...

Not a chance Saints will win next week. They'll be physically destroyed from expending so much energy escaping the gravitational pull of a certain Munster player today.

Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

Leinster's lineout was a shambles and Porter looked in trouble in the scrum a number of times. I think we look like a relatively poorly coached team these days. Not sure how much Neinebar has to do with it but we are kicking away a lot of ball and competing poorly in the air to retrieve it. Our def...

Article in the Sunday Times today with Cormac Lucey where he says he's running in the local elections this year in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown. Now, granted the guy isn't the most personable person around but if he does get elected, he'll be driven demented within a few months.

It's not a bad Munster team at all. Most sides would happily take that second row pairing.
