First topic message reminder :

It was in the local rag tonight that, unless Edinburgh score 20 odd points next week, we are officially the worst team ever to "grace" the HC stage. Well done, boys - take a bow. We certainly justified our 2nd seeding. The only reason that we didn't get another total pumping on Sunday was because of Munster's shortcomings (and that certainly isn't having a go at Munster) - for 70 minutes we never even looked liked troubling the try line again.
This must be the worst performance fall-off from one season to the next
I know this isn't really opening a topic up to constructive comment (especially if schizoid's nursing staff let him near a keyboard) but i just needed to get this off my chest.
At least the 6N training squad suitably reflects Edinburgh's play although I am a bit surprised Tonks has been overlooked.

Does that make Bradleys removal inevitable?

Right just had a look, both teams with 0 wins & 0 championship points.
Turns out Zebre have a worse points difference at -152 as opposed to our -142.

However looking again at the Scotsman article I see that Edinburgh 'win' he award for fewest points scored in the group stages, scoring 36 which is worse than former 'winners' of this award L’Aquila

Oh dear... What has happened to Embra. Think its time for Bradley to go and take up a job with the irish wolfhounds.

Well there was a funny article in the Scotsman yesterday with the headline "Start winning if you want to keep Bradley as coach " So silver linings and all that...
