Me too, loved Gazetta and took Roma as my Italian team.
My kids seem to have taken Real Madrid on as their foreign team, and Benfica as well after dragging me into their shop in Lisbon this summer, and learning who Eusebio was.
Lots of the usual arguments on the thread so just to be clear on my stance,
Fuck Richardson, Fuck Robinson, Fuck Hoffman, Fuck Elliot, Fuck Wasps, Fuck CCC, and Fuck off SISU.
(Apologies to anyone insulted by my language)
Fucking hell, three wins out of four as manager, and someone strikes up a thread complaining that they don't like the way he talks. To be honest if he carries on like this I couldn't give a shit if he spoke in a foreign language all the time. FFS people will moan at anything.
I will save anyone...

There are many so called experts in the know on this site. You are amongst them.
What you profess to know is significantly less than what you do, and I would suggest is titbits they feed you to keep you happy. If it makes you happy, good, but lets not pretend you are on their inner circle shall we.
Ironic coming from you, someone who keeps posting on Wasps behalf.
No one believes what SISU say, its just some read it differently to you. That's life.
Fair points Pipkin, but I still cant see a huge take up in interest by the local population in rugby, whichever team it is. There might be expats who want to watch it, but lets face it that's not new fans attracted to the sport. Rugby is and will always be a more minority sport.
They may well get massive air time in the arabic market, but will anyone be watching? Rugby is not a traditional Arabic sport, so whether the market is massive it doesn't really matter if few are interested, and I say this as a Rugby fan. (Not of Wasps though)
I know, but a sniff of Wembley would bring many out of the woodwork.
I was going to suggest we need some joy in our lives, then I thought lets give that pun a miss.
