A win for wales and scotland will guarantee them the play offs
people need passions in their life
maybe family
maybe travel
maybe jobs
maybe sport
without these passions we walk around as robots

My late grandads last words were "im not very well"
but before that he asked " how did the city get on...
as a kid we didnt have England in the world cup finals
This magical world cup from Argentina in 78 - we all got pulled in by Ally;s army
England were nowhere to be seen - and when Archie gemmill scored one of the best world cup goals ever, it was a great moment
my 1st world cup was 74 - I didnt...
must be an age thing also in the 70s with hutch/blyth/wallace around the squad (albeit scotland were good in those days so didnt get the caps they would today)

i guess my 0.44% mortgage will slowly increase
I remember the good old days of 12% interest rates, and the first fix i ever did was 7.69%
Proper interest rates like those would make things interesting
A little harsh in this case
A different cross for the attacker to run onto, and willis is in the perfect position to be 1st to the ball
A deflection takes it slightly behind the forward and then he looks lost
If he was tight, a better cross may have produced a goal also
