First, fully manual landing, possibly using autothrust but equally possibly not.
Technique down to flare was good, then it turned to worms.
Start the flare and then kick off the crab, Try to touchdown pointing down the runway (Thats when its at its longest!!!).
Steer with rudder until nosewheel steering becomes effective.
The runway at LHR is not narrow for an A380, it is 60m wide! Where do you hear this drivel?
