The Wales vs England bickering thread, 2012 - PONIES ALLOWED!

[TycroesOsprey]

First topic message reminder :

OK, every year we see threads that actually contain really good rugby discussion derailed by the ongoing Wales vs England bickering and WUMMING! I will name no names. I guess we have all been guilty .

Since most of the general bickering comes from the respective fans of Wales and England ; I thought I would create a thread for it in an effort to keep decent rugby discussion relatively WUM free in other threads.

So I will begin, An article in the Western Mail today pointed out how England are copying Gatlands youthful approach with a squad that has an average age of 25 and 428 caps between them.

http://www.walesonline.co.uk/rugbynation/rugby-news/2012/01/12/analysis-new-look-england-follow-youthful-wales-lead-91466-30105333/

Wales probable squad (once you have taken out Shane and Wellies from the World cup squad with their probable replacements) lines up at the same average age and about 820 caps between them. England are copying Wales' approcach but are way behind. Clearly all things point to a wales victory in HQ this year.

post script

Please may I emphasise that this is a bickering and banter thread, whilst mild wumming and banter are allowed please try not to stray over the line of decency.

[slartibartfast]

I ws trying to think of a clever reverse psychology WUM type post, but I can't.... here's my best efforts

England are pants
Lancaster rhyms with Small Hampster

I went to England once, it was ok. <- lie, I've been more than once

I'm going to Twickers this month <- that's true. See you there, then off to Richmond on a big red bus for a after match pint and to count the planes going over head (if it's not cloudy, misty or foggy)

[mystiroakey]

lol didnt realise this was here- haha and it hasnt been closed down by the strict mods!!

i bet gatts loves this one.

anyway it reminds me of the time when johnny wilkinson, gareth thomas(when he was straight) and Jonah Lomu were waiting at the local hospital to pick up there brand new babies.

The doc comes over to them as they marched about and twitched impatiantly waiting to see there new born, He procedes to tell them that there has been a mix up in the maternity ward and he doesnt know who's baby is who's.

The 3 sporstman decide to sort it out between themselves and the englishman(johnny wilkinson) goes first(as is his right) into the room where the 3 mixed up babies are, he emerges seconds later with what is obvious to all concerned that is a baby of Mouri desent and infact it is Jonah Lomu's baby boy, Jonah says as much , and Johnny wilkonson says " I know it is, however i am not taking any chances mate, one of the babies in that room is welsh"

The 6 Nations are ours,
The 6 Nations are ourrrrs,
You Welsh bar stewards,
The 6 Nations are ours!

[miteyironpaw]

Much has been made of England's steady decline following the glory of 2003 and That drop goal by That player.

But watching the Wellington 7's has led me to ponder: why is so little made of Wales 7's world champion status and their failure to win anything else, ever in this format?

Was the Welsh triumph simply an abberation? was it a fix up? or are Wales The Worst World Champions Ever?

[HERSH]

Wales fluked the 7's world cup the same way they fluked the 2008 Grand Slam.

I'll give you 2005, that was deserved but not 2008.

[HERSH]

Does anyone else think it was unsporting of Wales to announce the team so late?

[TycroesOsprey]

I think the welsh are ignoring you boys, but keep it up theres two weeks to go and Im sure someone will remember England eventually.

[mystiroakey]

wheres all the welsh gone?

was it just gatts and multiple accounts?

[Guest]

Im about but i haven't seen any comment worth a response, conversing with some of the ill informed idiots would be no different to talking to a plank of wood.

[Luckless Pedestrian]

gareth thomas(when he was straight)

I don't think you understand. He's never been straight.

[Guest]

Oh my good GOD!!
Is that it? is that what this young fresh squad have to offer??
The same as the ones before them! god awful and scared rabbits in the headlights.
Zero skill,zero class and a ref allowing them to do what they want in the ruck.

Gatland must be bricking it!

[Guest]

Yeah, the same rubbish one that won the 6 Nations last year.

Blimey, everybody else must be awful.

[english warrior]

View- Yes thats it, thats what this fresh young team have to offer, and thats from a few places higher than Wales in the IRB rankings so maybe you'd do well to follow our lead, but unfortunately, the heady heights of Success are not for Wales !!

[mystiroakey]

gareth thomas(when he was straight)

I don't think you understand. He's never been straight.

do you understand that my joke, was a joke?, it isnt reality

[english warrior]

View- Indeed gatland must be bricking it, because when Wales are found out or shown up- he's out of a job, of course he's worried that when England put Wales to the sword, will he be able to get the plane back to AB land in one piece.

Shrewd man Gat, and he must be pinching himself that he got this far, well done mate, but tomorrow the unravelling starts.

You should have picked a straight Welsh player in the first place, shouldn't you?

(It's a good joke, in fairness!)

[mystiroakey]

i though it carried more weight, because for some reason being gay can be funny

[english warrior]

Mystiroakey- 'Because for some reason being Gay can be funny'


Really ? Personally i enjoy a good laugh, and or seeing a decent comedian, but i think i'll give this type of laugh a miss!!!

[Knowsit17]

Did England field a back row yesterday? Looked to me like they just paid three additional guys to stand around, cough up possession and get their shirts ripped :p

If they wanted to show their chests they should have just featured in an adult film, a more fitting profession I daresay

[trebellbobaggins]

According to jd and all the fans they are full of the best ever players in every position.

They'll be against a Poopie England with no good players. Will be an easy 100 point win for them, they can't fail.

Of course when they do win by a ton i am going to be reminded of this

well its the typical type of humour for a bad best man speech isnt it.

yeah the stags gay- but he is getting married- lol- its a bit stupid!!

thought id throw it in more for layers - basically appealing to a wider audience, a minor joke within the real joke- obviously didnt come of as intended

[miteyironpaw]

Look Wales; it's all about DISCIPLINE these days. You have to cut out those spear tackles. Becoming a feature of your game...

[miteyironpaw]

Have to agree Duty. Terrible inconsistent refereeing again. Compare the three tackles, two clear reds and a dodgy yellow. Perhaps if Mr Barnes had actually seen the earlier incident he wouldn't have tried to even things up.

[Guest]

oh yea baby.
The Irish don't boo the kicker eh?!

Just like i said all along take away the overseas players who make the Irish provinces look good and Ireland are not that good!
Beaten again by a bunch of Welsh teenagers.

[Gatts]

So, at least Ireland have the Heineken cup to look forward to.

Ahem. England will be mopped up like a little mess my 2 year old makes...a bit like how ireland were unravelled today

[Guest]

Gatts, welcome back you scoundrel!

I hope you're going to behave now...

[Gatts]

Gatts, welcome back you scoundrel!

I hope you're going to behave now...

I'd rather be Scottish than 'behave' but i thank you for your greeting.

Now can we stop being polite and please get back to being rude to each other

[eirebilly]

Welcome back Gatts.

[Knackeredknees]

Im about but i haven't seen any comment worth a response, conversing with some of the ill informed idiots would be no different to talking to a plank of wood.

I know how you feel View, but then i realise "hey their Welsh they can't help it"

[english warrior]

Knackeredkness- ' Hey their Welsh, they can't help it'

Can't they ? can't they really help it ? Because i'm not too sure about that, so we'll have to agree to differ.

[Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler]

Ben Morgan amanged to avoid it, Shingler did his best

[english warrior]

Peter- Credit due to those that manage it, but hey why am i saying this to you, who is a Welshman in English clothing. Get off that damn fence Seabiscuit and support your true team (Wales) and don't try to be a 5th columnist for the Taffs!

[Guest]

So then insult removed - KRD ready for some humble pie? plenty to go around.

Italy going to tear England a new one next week.

[Pete C (Kiwireddevil)]

Just a reminder all, while this thread is here for banter, letting off hot air and bickering, leave out personal abuse and swearing please.

[Guest]

Sorry.

[Peter Seabiscuit Wheeler]

Sorry.

Whats that on your nose? Chocolate mousse?

[Guest]

[andy powells minder]

Sorry.

Styling Mr PSW, nice one

[HERSH]

Why can't we all just get on with one another?

I just don't get why so many Irish fans are so upset , we all know Wales will do anything to win even if that does mean disregarding the rules and sportsmanship.

[HERSH]

I've hooked one!

[HERSH]

It's a WHOPPER!!!!

[HERSH]

Shouldn't the title be 'The England vs Wales bickering thread, 2012'

Seeing as it's at Twickers, plus it would then be in alphabetical order?

[mystiroakey]

"i saying this to you, who is a Welshman in English clothing."

whats welsh clothing then?

animal hides, bin liners, cheap matching shellsuits ?

[Luckless Pedestrian]

Yes. With a piece of rope for a belt.

[Guest]

What is your predictions for next week lads?

France by no more than 5

Wales by no more than 3

Italy by 10

I reckon

[damngoodOvalball]

Agree apart from the wales result. They will put 60-70 points on the Scots

[TycroesOsprey]

You know I think after the tournament is over I will go through this thread and see how much bickering and wumming comes from each respective country and tot it up into a championship table for everyone.
