Really? I'm not his biggest fan, but I think that's taking it a little far!

Not really. The vast majority of people who watch it are casual fans, same as cricket, and only interested in internationals. I imagine the people who watch Premiership RU games every week will put their clubs first.

All right Pop pickers?......Not arf. Here's the Top 10 things that are TOTALLY Agar's fault

At 10. United Kingdom's atrocious showing at the Eurovision Song Contest
It's a non mover at 9. The value of the pound
New at 8. Those fiddly 5p pieces
Down to 7. Too much reality TV
Up to 6. Stella Artois being watered down for supermarket sales.

Now, your faultfinding five

At 5, Eden Hazard's loss of form
Down to 4. Olly flippin Murs
Staying at 3. Sky Sports switching RL games to a Thursday
New in at 2. The Rugby Union World Cup

and, for the 5th week running, we're going to have to burn effigies of Agar for this one

The renaming of Opal Fruits to Starburst.


It's ALL Agar's fault. May he burn in damnation for all the above..

Scapegoatmungous, Pop pickers
