A Game I want the Blues To Lose

No, of course I'm not talking about City, but as there's no Premiership football this weekend and the English national team is such a bore I, like millions of football fans will be glued to the Rugby World Cup tonight hoping for an inspirational England win over the old enemy, "Les Bleus".

"Le Crunch", as it's been hyped up in the French press is last barrier between England and an unprecedented appearance in back-to-back world cup finals. Who knows what might happen if we reach the final?

I don't know what it is about beating the French at any sport, but it's almost as satisfying as beating the Rags and the Scousers.

Look out for former England World Cup winner and massive City fan, Will Greenwood, who is normally wheeled out as a TV pundit on these occasions. We could have done with him in the team this evening, but I'm sure all the guys will give 110% against the garlic... sorry I mean Gallic foe.

Come on England !

no one gave England a chance in this competition; they've done fantastically well to get this far whatever the result this evening

This public schoolboy form of the game is nothing like real Rugby!

Yes I know, but beating the French at anything is very worthwhile and needs to be supported

Sorry, but I hope the Jocks qualify.

Anybody that stuffs the French in Paris deserves it....hopefully that will be England this evening as well.

So you call scoring one goal from one attack 'a stuffing' do you? Bet you loved the Stuart Pearce way!

Actually I think you'll find that Rugby Union IS the real game in it's original form. Rugby league is the girl's version of the game and was invented much later.

Dunnie,

Although historically accurate, I wouldn't really describe it a "girls" game.

I certainly never went out with any girls that looked like that !
