No doubt Wardy and Fez have a few contacts with players still and actually know what is happening
One would assume so and he did make some comment about dressing room unrest so you would think that has come from somewhere.

Of course with all of these things it may also depend on which player you speak to as to what you hear,

Doak was never the answer either.

Does anyone think given how downbeat les sounded at the weekend, that a 30 point hiding by Leinster may force his hand? A facile victory may keep him in a job.

Well, exactly. I must have missed the success under Doak.

Which is not to suggest that everything is rosy in the garden, of course, but some objectivity would be helpful Andy.

If it hastens the Bluffers demise I'll take a 50 point drubbing at the weekend, looking at the table we have conceded the most tries of the Top 5 teams, defence coach my derriere

Impatient bunch on here.

It's taken 20 odd years and countless millions for Spurs to finish above Arsenal.

We'll be alright - Wenger is going to replace Lancaster next season.

Correct WW and if that is his view, how misguided are some of his other views also :scratch:

Spurs have a good manager. Potechino was excellent at Southampton and proved himself there before being appointed to Spurs. Les is an unproven DoR and basically an experiment that is failing. If this was a football club he would have been sacked long ago.

I think we're all glad it's not and in recent times, with the obvious exception of 2012/13, this season is par for the course or perhaps even a bit better than that.

There's a lot of knee-jerk stuff being said at the moment.

The surprise at the non-selection of the likes of Franco and Louis should be no greater than the surprise at how many tackles the likes of Rory and AAT have been missing, but maybe that's easier for me to say than most.

Hi Les.

What do you think of our defence?

<purses lips nervously>

My old man told me last week, at his Golden Wedding do, that he could still remember, very clearly, the first time he missed a tackle (after some years of playing rugby). The shock, or even shame, of it had not diminished one jot.

I imagine his hooker, if he's still alive, would still have nightmares about the time he feck up 3 line outs on the spin (if he ever did).
