...

Born in Senegal, grew up in France for 95% of his life.


Now let's see...

He was born in Senegal, and left for France when he was 6 months old. He's been in England since the summer of 2002.

That's a total of 5 years not in France. 5 years = 5%, so he must be 100 years old. :shock:

Does anyone have any idea how they work those placings out?

The 'table' just looks like a meaningless jumble of random numbers to me.

Re: Do you fancy our chances on Saturday?

Here's something to consider if you fancy us to pull off a shock at Old Trafford. over the last 3 seasons there have been over 170 premiership matches where a big 4 team has been at home to a non big 4 team. The away team has won on just 2 occasions. :? I think I should point out, at this stage, th...

... Did I see Colin on Sky Sports News throwing his teddies out of the pram again? More to the point, did you see Leroy's answer to the reporter who clearly wanted a similar reaction about his disallowed goal? Leroy was making nothing of the fact that he was done out of a hattrick and was full of p...

I put £5 e/w on Kev at 200/1.

I did the same, at shorter odds, on Kitson and Lita because I believed we were going to surprise a few.

I also have £10 at 20/1 on Reading being handicap champions with a 51 point start.

On the other hand, I didn't bet on us being Champions last season.

And, of course, declared losses in one of JM's companies will off-set the tax liability of other companies in the group which are making real profits. Exactly. JM has been using RFC as a tax loss for years. I've said it before, but losing money is not profitable. If JM can offest his losses on RFC ...

I'd love to hear a chant praising the ref cos they'd be bound to treat it as a piss-take. I'm not sure how safe this is: We used to always arrive early and applaud the ref and his team when they circled the pitch for their warm-up. The more we applauded, the more the ref's decisions seemed to go ag...

How about a retrospective puishment against the team not just the player. For example, if it can be proven after the match that a player dived to win a penalty (a la Zokora), if said penalty is scored the goal can be stricken from the records after the event. In that one case, Spurs would lose 2pts...

Only saw the highlights but the marking for their 1st goal was absolutely shocking. Time for the defensive and goal-keeping coaches to earn the pay I think. If you "only saw the highlights", you only saw what BBC or Sky or whoever decided you could see and from the angle of their choosing...

They will do anything rather than discuss how poor their very expensive team were against us.

As I've said elsewhere, we made them look very ordinary, and they know it.

Let's get real, guys. Doyle is a great player and seems a genuinely nice guy as well. He has some loyalty to RFC, but if a "Big" club (which we are not) came up with a sensible offer for him (say £5m) and offered him a huge pay rise over what he gets here (say £25,000 per week) who could...
