"Goode: We can blow Aussies away"

First topic message reminder :

Why can't people just shut up and let the players do their talking on the pitch?

Coaches and captains are appointed to do the clap-trap.

As a rule, using a feather is kinky. Using the whole chicken is peverse.

Both scenarios perfectly normal in liberal cosmopolitan Europe Biltong.
I'll bet the Aussies loved getting spanked in Paris. London is next, where Goode will blow them all away on Saturday, after a spot of Aussie domination up front (sorry oh dear)

Brill, have to nick it...

French take it a step further with a whole live Coq.

Anyway we all know ist the Aussies who suck at the minute

.....au van, surely?

England should really win however really unnecessary to make such comments before the match.

To which comments, in particular, are you refering?

coq au vin

vin, van, drat, thought I was being sharp there!!

though sure it's coq au van???

Well, as I see myself as a decent fellow, I wasn't going to go there.

Which he didin't actually say. His comments regarding Australia were "It will be tight against the Aussies. We will be tested a lot more but that is the challenge for everyone". I don't think he can be held accountable for journalists piecing different parts of an interview about different things together until they come up with titles they like.

Parts of this thread show why journos invent headlines like this, they know a lot of people will be drawn to and riled by them without really reading them very carefully (or at all). Those people are probably the same that wade into threads like this without reading what people have written before them.

Actually, I believe that in some circles one scenario would be enough...
