And to think they gave him a knighthood.

To be honest this whole 'poor Manchester' thing is wearing a bit thin.
They're crap, albeit due to certain circumstances, and the best thing that coul happen to them is relegation to a division where they stand a chance of being competitive.

Noticed a french prop got a 70 something week ban for it a couple of weeks ago - it seems to be becoming more prevalent - bring life bans in.

But I just can't understand why they do it in the first place.

That 148-0 scoreline is huge, but the world record was in the French 3rd Division: Lavardac 350-0 Vergt in 1984. In England it's Norwich 177-3 Eccles & Attleborough.
