It would be fair to say lessons have been learned from Wales' dismal opening 20 minutes against England last week. If anything, Clive, they've started *too* well and scored *too* early.

Simon Jordan on TalkSport, unchallenged yet again.

As a Talksport employee, I am embarrassed by this rebuttal of what Neville said. This moron pontificates without question. It is bonkers.

And yeah, i'll probably be sacked. Fuck it.

As if Big Dunc as the special guest isn't enough, hearing Jamie Carragher say "Kerkez", "Gakpo" and "Chiesa" in the same sentence on MNF almost makes the extortionate monthly subscription to Sky worth it.
