It's well known how aeroplanes fly - they fly because everyone (and I mean everyone) on board believes they can fly. As soon as one person starts to have doubts that's when the turbulence starts, which of course makes someone else have doubts which is when the captain puts on the fasten seatbelts sign which makes someone else have doubts which causes a bit more turbulence. What then happens is that either those having doubts get over their problem and believe the plane can fly, in which case smooth air is reached again, the sign is switched off and those former doubters can visit the toilet or a spiral of decline is entered in which case, unless it can be halted the plane will get ever lower which in the case of a short flight may be ok as the runway may be reached, but over the Atlantic or Pyrenese...TrueBlue wrote:Im nervous, really nervous, really really nervous...

Toulouse are beatable, probably more beatable in the HEC closing stages than they've been since the Munster semi 3 years ago (not including the freakish Wasps final Toulouse should have won).
It ain't no sin to be glad you're alive

And I too claim visionary status - for I did not waver in my belief - ok we scored 4 not 3 so I was a bit out!!Uncle Mort wrote:Not nervouse as such - but we'll see at Saturday tea time how we feel - I honestly think that we will score three tries and that along with associated kicks may be enough - it may not but I think that they'll have to score 25 points to beat us.
