The partnership between Cork and Morgan is the most important thing for the team this year. They're the engine room that will buffer the defence and give the forwards freedom to play.

It's funny because Anglo-French partnerships don't always work but when they do the results can be spectacular. Think of Concorde, the Channel Tunnel, Stereolab and, er, my dad who swears blind he had a go on Bridget Bardot back in the 60s before she went mental.

Yes, but you have to think of these as well:

- JK Rowling's grandparents.
- Mary Tudor and Louis XII (he died because they tried too hard - and failed - to produce an heir).
- Strassie and the French administration, French opening hours, all French drivers, most French waiters (but the waitresses are forgiven) and nearly every French shop assistant (male & female).

How's little Retford? Did he score with any of the wonderful NHS nurses?

Little Retford's on the mend, cheers. He's still got all types of liquid coming out of both ends but the main thing is he's out of hospital and his mum is dealing with that while I'm at work.

As for Anglo-French relations, let's not forget how during the war we united to help crush those bad prats (and the Nazis WERE prats) to the East. Southampton are learning the lessons of history well.

Yes, it is well known that the French played a pivotal part in WWII, Petain being their best general on the field against the nazis...
Also, let's not forget that they helped decorate London with a lot of commemorative monuments to the Napoleonic wars.

I mean the COOL French people. You know, people like Albert Camus who joined up to the resistance and then tunneled into the swimming pool to try and rescue the allies at half time in Escape To Victory. They were mint.

Sorry, I didn't know you were referring to a 5% of their population!!!

I'm with El Santo, here and I speak from 4 years of bitter experience.

Mind you, 4 minutes with Sophie Marceau ........"
