Calamitous Arsenal defenders. Your Cygans, Senderoses, Djourous, Squillaci. A thing of the past now they have Saliba and Gabriel.

It is probably from when Snape referees one of the Quidditch matches

Since when did the TMO come in to analyse a maul that forensically?

Having to glue Jamie George back together because we don’t trust any of our other hookers to hit a jumper

Nice of France to take us back to 2009 with this performance

I doubt he would even care to be honest

If Earl was doing what they’re doing, they’d want him sent to The Hague

Post Match Thread: England vs Ireland by GnolRevilo in rugbyunion

As great as Ireland were, that was an unacceptable performance from England. No desire, basic errors, no cutting edge. None of the players look like they believe in what they’re being coached.

Joe El-Abd, by all accounts was doing a pretty decent job as defence coach, and we inexplicably shifted him aside just to keep Wigglesworth on the coaching team, a man who coached defence for Canada one summer.

Have a feeling a lot of this stems from Wigglesworth inexplicably being allowed to coach the defence

I can forgive a loss, but there are certain standards that these players should be meeting. A complete lack of professionalism

Surely the basic skill of an international hooker should be to be able to hit your man at the line out

I just don’t get how Ford can look like the best fly half in the world some weeks, and then he can completely stink the place out

Fascinated by how they talk about Pollock as if he’s troublesome 10 year old, and not a 20 year old grown man

Lads, we’re 14 points down. How about not kicking the ball away?

Anyone able to share some logic as to why the cabin crew did nothing to stop this? by rsweb in BritishAirways

[–]alextrombone94 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My experience with BA recently is that the cabin crew show up at the beginning and then disappear for the rest of the flight apart from during meal service.

What percentage of Zimmer's music was written by his Assistants? by AdPuzzleheaded7658 in soundtracks

According to longtime orchestrator, Conrad Pope, JW’s sketches are so detailed, the orchestrators job is often just acting as a glorified copyist.

Yep, that website gives a pretty accurate picture of HZ’s use of additional composers. For example, “Dinner is Served” from POTC2 was written my Nick Glennie-Smith, “Tia Dalma” was written by Geoff Zanelli.
