The headline was difficult to avoid given this earlier post about Gavin Henson . Its a shame though. Much unlike Gavin Henson, its difficult not to feel a certain empathy with Powell. Without question his actions display an exceptional, almost enviable level of stupidity, yet still, I for one can’t help feeling a bit of a yearn to buy him a pint. Tell him not to worry. There are plenty of clubs in France.

Powell has been sacked by Wasps for having a fight with football fans on his day off. Am I the only one thinking that’s exactly what your average mentally inarticulate back row forward is supposed to do on his day off? Henson picks a fight with his Captain and gets to stay, Powell gets pummeled by  a load of football fans and has to go. Its a disgrace. Actions such as these are bringing the game into disrepute.

Granted. He probably did deserve the sack, as did Henson. Should he have been driving a golf buggy along the M4? No. Should he have had the fight? No. Is the world a richer place that he did do at least one of these things? I think so. Long live Andy Powell, and all who serve him.

Accomplice Identified in HMV Cardiff http://chasingtheegg.com/welsh-rugby/andy-powell-saga-continues-accomplice-identified-in-hmv-cardiff/ http://chasingtheegg.com/welsh-rugby/andy-powell-saga-continues-accomplice-identified-in-hmv-cardiff/#comments Thu, 25 Feb 2010 17:46:20 +0000 O'Crampeasy http://chasingtheegg.com/?p=147 Having been duped by an unreliable source in my previous report . I was happy to find the truth today, right in front of me, in HMV of all places.

Andwood or Jedand, either way they make a wonderful couple.

It seems so obvious now its in front of you doesn’t it. The shared penchant for hair dye, the overtight jeans/shorts. I’ve been racking my brains for the last couple of weeks as to why we hadn’t been told who Powell’s partner in crime was, how ever could I have been so blind?

From the looks of things, it should be a great partnership. Andy’s got himself a few weeks off and I can’t imagine a better place for him than acting as muscle for Jed or Wood. Likewise for the twin, we all knew the Spartans of the entertainment world Messrs Walsh & Cowell were never going to let both of them live. Sooner or later one of them was going to be let out into the forest to fight the wolves, now this one has Andy by his side. 

Although I consider this conclusive proof ( I was there after all) I appreciate some of you may still have your doubts so I have taken the liberty of enhancing the above photograph. Finally, with the help of digital technology, we can put this matter to bed, once and for all…

Conclusive Proof

The following suggests they were on the hunt for more than just breakfast:

Sorry I couldn’t resist. What was he thinking?
