I was talking generally ....

I think Clarke must stick a huge wager on Saints every year and that's why he's so bitter. Throughout the first 30 mins every time he opened his mouth he was praising their fanastic play, not a word about our defence.
And as soon as Smiths second went to the video he said "penalty, St Helens, long kick up field and seven minutes left" aost as if he couldn't entertain the possibilty that Leeds might win again an prove him to be the no-nowt retard he is.

I'm sure Mr Clarkes' solicitor might have something to say about that comment. Mods?

Its been just an little added bonus of the last three years, seeing how ed off Clarke is

He praised us at the end but then he can't do anything else really.

I think we all know by now that the only credit we get from clarke is very begrudgingly given!
F#*K HIM!!!!!!!

Here here.

I'd like Barrie to punch Clarke. Hard. In the back of the neck.

Was the specific point of contact - his spine - a deliberate choice?

Absolutley.

Too far?

Hmmmm.

Maybe we'll be the only ones to spot it.

I doubt it

He's wound me up. Not just last night but as the season has progressed. He's a grade A c**t with some bizarre agenda.

Maybe I'll have another coffee and regret my comment in retrospect.

Maybe,an unusual rant from your usualy controlled reasoned self

I got it as well

I got it also.

But you would have to have Barrie do it in the last 10 minutes of the first half because statistically speaking that's the period of the game when an ex-Leeds prop forward is most likely to do 70% more damage than at any other time during a game on a Friday night between October and December in a leap year, wearing brogues and carrying a purple handbag.

You're not the only one.

Said before said it again, whatever situation we are in clarke put's a negative spin on it.

Another issue I had with the Sky muppets, was that towards the end they kepy mentioning 'No Fairy Tale' ending for Long? Which was correct, but er....there was a 'Fairy Tale ending' for Lee Smith, which seemed to pass by the muppets.

As I've posted elsewhere, Clarke should just go on TV and say "I don't like Leeds' and get it off his chest.

Brilliant!!

P.S. Clarke has had some anti-Leeds agenda for ages. His commentary of the 2003 CC semi final (extra time one) I remember being ridiculously biased.

he tipped leeds

I often reference that commentary re Clarke but always perceived it as his and Bill Arthur's love of all things St Helens rather than anything anti Leeds in particular.

I'm beginning to alter that view. The evidence is becoming overwhelming.

Same as you, 2004 - 2005 when it was us and Bradford i dont remember him being like this and i think 2007 he may have been more pro Saints than anti Leeds but now we seem to have seriously ed him off!!

Simple task for Clarke today........read the papers...........the "legal" tries are in the record books!

I heard he said that there was no way Leeds would win in a newspaper article. I also heard that he tipped Leeds to win in a magazine article.

TBH I can believe that. That's why it's a waste of time listening to, or reading, anything he says.
