Having got back early on Tuesday morning managed to watch the game last night. What a prat Wiggy is.

1 Constantly refering to the heat. Umm - remind me who made it a 6.30 kick off in July in the South of France rather than the 9.00 it was supposed to be!

2 He refered to a good crowd for their first Sunday super league game and I am sure he inferred it was their decision!

3 Luke May - born in Ashford, Kent. You are a professional mate - get your facts right, try Middlesex.

4 The crowd noise over the shoe throwing incident. Saying the crowd had pointed out who it was - actually the crowd reaction was to the stewards ejecting the shoe thrower!

I did enjoy asking Bill Arthur at half time as he was walking past a long string of cables which one I could pull out so I could f**k their weekend up as well.

Spot on mate, and love the last one!

Of all the games they choose to televise from France they have to pick one when their 'Saturday' slot is on a Sunday. You were well and truly f**ked by Sky, who's behaviour was disgraceful.

They go on about how they promote the game but the way they treat the fans is more akin to someone trying to drive them away. And while I'm in rant mode, their total denigration of the Challenge Cup is also a disgrace. Remember 2 years ago when they put Catalans match at Warrington back to Sunday night the week before Wembley?

And all we hear from the 2 clowns is best season ever, fans loving it, greatest game...blah blah, blah.

Don't forget! According to Stevo you are now known as 'Brian McDermotts Harlequins'.

It's progress that they are actually calling us Harlequins. Last season they were still calling us "London" or "Broncos".

Kevin Walters still does - not that he ever encountered us in that incarnation.

The bit I liked was when they showed the Quins fans at half time. The viewing public were told our lot were "having the time of their lives" or something like that. The question was then posed as to whether those who'd travelled were on holiday or just over for the weekend...that's right, sit in your little Sky bubble and pretend you're unaware of the world around you.

Yeah, the holiday remark by Eddie did make me smile.
