  • Up Front: The Home Straight,

    Oh, that road is in my blood too.

    Every weekend, between Ashburton and Christchurch, every family gathering, every funeral, and wedding, the boxing day races, in the searing Canterbury heat.

    I hated Christchurch this Christmas visit, with its horrible soulless shopping malls, and small-mindedness, but you just made me homesick.

  • Field Theory: The Return,

    I've said my piece about Rattue over in the other post.

    But The Dropkicks did postulate in a previous podcast that perhaps Rattue was engaged in a massive conspiracy with the rugby union. So perhaps we should be cheering him on?

  • Field Theory: Analyse This,

    Pelt me if potatoes if you must.

    If only I could find you....

    Look, I'm from Canterbury. I love Robbie Deans (though I don't think he is nearly as pretty as Chris seems to). My point is, all this happened a year ago, and maybe now would be time to get over it?

    I don't think, as per the column, anyone described the RWC as 'a learning experience' at the time. I remember the word 'gutted' being bandied about ad nauseum. But surely it is a good thing they are now admitting they made mistakes and are learning from them?

  • Field Theory: Analyse This,

    Oh yes he is...

    The 2007 All Black World Cup project remains and will always remain a colossal disaster, a master class in false thinking unless the deal was to promote Corsica as a lovely place to top off a restful year. The foolhardy planners should have been given the axe in favour of the remarkable Deans, and nothing will ever change that.

    ahahahhahahahahahahahahaha. One word Chris: Wales.

    God he's bitter.

  • Field Theory: Analyse This,

    First of all a two-finger salute and a raspberry to Chris Rattue and all of the other Robbie Deans fan club members.

    Who has (Chris) been remarkably quiet since the beginning of November. Coincidence? I think not....

    I think Conrad Smith is better than Richard Kahui

    RK is doing MUCH better on my particular ratings scale.

    There doesn't look to be any Pool of Death this time around, which is a little dull.

    Oh but there is.

  • Field Theory: Sing when you're winning,

    36-nil! That should have been on the TV news.

    You'd think, wouldn't you?

  • Field Theory: Sing when you're winning,

    just how quickly do the Aussies move on?

    Yes, it was also completely ignored on the morning edition of the Australian ESPN Sportscentre. Bitter much?

  • Field Theory: Behold the Roar of the…,

    Good to see that our traditional top and middle order collapse isn't out of fashion.

    I don't know if I'm just a pessimist, or if I've been a NZ cricket fan for too long, but when all the reporters were saying yesterday "NZ is on top" and "Australia is struggling" I thought 'whatever. Talk to me tomorrow when we've been bowled out for 135'.

    And apparently I've already had a couple. I'd prefer the latTer

    You bring the gimlet, I bring the wimble.

    The tool, or the gin cocktail. (I'd prefer the later)
