Not to mention Paul Brush...London Irish said:Particularly the bit about Arsene Wenger.
Bozza said:No idea why but unlocked and bumped back to the top.
Tom Hark said:Excellent news. We can now all savour LI's spectacular own goal in attempting to defend the indefensible i.e. the 4-5-1 formation.![]()
London Irish said:Please join me in the "Time to write this season off" thread, Tom, we all know you usually find quite a comfortable armchair in there.![]()
Tom Hark said:Now now LI. There's REALLY no need to be bitter, just because you had a bit of a brainstorm last night and confused writing like you were being paid by the word, with thinking that playing a 4-5-1 formation at home in the opening game of the season was a tactically astute move![]()
London Irish said:When the French came to Florida the second time, they were commanded by Laudonniere. Upon their arrival crowds of Indians gathered on the shore to welcome them. They assured Laudonniere that they bore no enmity against him. So he went ashore with twenty harquebusiers where he was met by the chief, Athore. After presents had been exchanged and promises of friendship given, the chief asked the French to go with him. This they agreed to do, though as Athore was accompanied by a great number of men, they acted with great caution.
The chief took them to the island where Ribaut had set up the stone column carved with the strange numerals 4-4-2. When the French came closer to the column, they found Indians worshipping the stone as an idol. Athore kissed the stone with the same reverence that his subjects showed him. His men also kissed the column, and they asked us to do likewise. In front of the monument lay offerings of fruits, edible and medicinal roots, jars of perfumed oils, a bow, and arrows; the stone was wreathed with flowers and boughs of the choicest trees.
