Does anyone know who Manchester A is? James Dixon and partner?

I think Dan Bradley is James' partner.

Come on Manchester!

Good luck Manchester.

Yeah it's got to be Manchester for the love of the underdog.

Dan Bradley has been debating for about 20 years

Hardly an underdog against people some 4-5 years younger than him now is he?

I'd say Manchester have more debating experience than most of those teams.

The Harvard kids are both undergrads aren't they?

JLM, Alex Worsnip, Will Jones and James Dray have all been debating longer than Dan Bradley, if we're going to be counting.

Not really, Cormac's part of the Harvard team and he's lovely but also been around ages. Hope they win though, all about the exiles...

Who cares how long someone has been debating? If they are eligible to compete, good luck to them.

As Dan is one of the nicest guys on the circuit, I'd like to see him do well.

However, I'd love to see Will do it.

Enjoy it guys, and do your best.

Bonaparte A is not correct, the team in the ESL finals is Bonaparte B: Rutger and Salar.
Bonaparte A suffered too much and crashed in the preliminary rounds.

The last time I saw Dan Bradley was in November and he was debating for ULU that's why I didn't think it was him.

Well, they're two really nice guys and I would love to see him and James go through to the final. They've got a tough draw though with the two oxford teams.

I heard Salar en Rutger are extremely good. I think they are going to win ESL.

Bonaparte High!!

It seems that Bonaparte B is kicking butt and taking names. However, Leiden A is a force to be reckoned with.

Dutch teams for the win!!
