MATHIEU BASTAREAUD TRAMPLED poor scrum-half Damien Neveu in Toulon’s 53-13 thumping of Brive last Friday night.
Reports of Neveu having whiplash are just conjecture at this time.
Let’s play a quick round of Bastareaud nickname generator so we can finally decide the best way to describe him:
The Toulon Tank
The French Fridge
The Gallic Giant
Le Bulk
Bad Man
The Bastard
The Little Rhino
Le Grande Fromage
If we come up with a good nickname we can trademark it and sell it back to him at twice the price. Anyone have any good ideas?
Nice story about a good young player coming through and Mourinho somehow makes it all about him as usual.
@Joseph Bloggs: Or the one quote selected by the media is the quote by Mourinho that addresses how the media portray him
@Joseph Bloggs: no Joseph he praises the lad FIRST and then makes it about plebs like you …
@Johnny Bravo: Me? You must struggle with the written word Johnny, he clearly makes it about himself.
@Joseph Bloggs: see my comment below.
I heard something about Jose recently. Apparently he was being interviewed after a game and basically he was being a complete pr**k, walked out on the interview and all. Then, when the camera stopped rolling he walked over to the reporter and was happy as Larry, laughing and joking and apologising. It’s all a game, lads. He does it because he thinks if people are talking about Jose, they’re not talking about *insert name here* and how they’re playing shite. It’s an excellent managerial approach. It also creates the siege mentality that winning teams tend to have.
Having said all that…he’s a massive pain in the hole.
@Lurfic: Ha ha, nice one Lurfic :-)
@Lurfic: Think this was actually RTÉ’s Darragh Maloney! Or at least he has a similar yarn.
Still awaiting his Premier League debut? He has two premier league appearancs to his name.
@Brian Murray: yeah they have that wrong , maybe meant he’s waiting his first premier league start ??
@Pizyco: maybe
Remember when Darron Gibson was like this…
