Agree that neither of these sides looks likely to progress based on this, but, as I said on Monday, no result on UC can be known for sure until the match is played.<br /><br />On Monday, yes, Newcastle vs St John's, which I agree will be interesting, as St John's didn't quite seem as imperious last week as they did before, whereas Newcastle seem to be improving. As I say, we'll see. Weeks after, Bristol vs Ulster, Merton vs Edinburgh and Fitzwilliam vs Emmanuel, as Aethelstan has already said.<br /><br />And, yes, that Goldsmiths team from 2011 was the only student team that has appeared under Paxo.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06254840979557920582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-7309782066302825792018-02-20T09:33:39.134-08:002018-02-20T09:33:39.134-08:00The old Paxman was in a bit of a mood wasn't h...The old Paxman was in a bit of a mood wasn't he? Perhaps not without some just cause, but Stanley Wang's twitter suggested some sort of unaired altercation. I didnt realise Kitty Chevallier had a twitter, she was liking away various tweets last night. One of my 'studes' has met the Edinburgh team on some student quiz thing circuit thing as it happens, rated them a good bunch. But yes I dont think we've seen the champions. The Scots face mighty Merton next, that could be, er, interesting. Emma vs Fitz, could go either way, probably favour Fitz on stats.<br /><br />Next week will be interesting, will Johns nail their colours to the mast and stake their claim or will Newcastle deliver an upset? Could go either way in my opinion, though maybe advantage Johns on their speed and arts prowess.Aethelstanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00941291511056658074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-40828073774680661642018-02-20T09:09:11.272-08:002018-02-20T09:09:11.272-08:00Hi Keshava

However don't take everything I say as gospel.<br /><br />Maybe it's just me, but from London University UCL, Kings and Birkbeck seem to get on a lot more often.<br />Londiniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07871325359167581176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5401280171563686515.post-40805503929120618062018-02-20T08:59:04.283-08:002018-02-20T08:59:04.283-08:00A question that perhaps only you can answer:
