Stayed at my seat to clap the team off (obviously a mistake) then as the south-end kiosk in WSU was closed joined one of the mahoosive queues at the central kiosk to get a celebratory pint while chatting with my seat-neighbour whom I hadn't seen since last season.
Queued. Watched the...
I do think they've made it a little confusing by having the entrance labelled West 1 lead to stand W3 and the West 3 entrance lead to stand W1. I wonder if that was the reason for the number of people who seemed to be trying to get into the West Upper with West Lower tickets.
If we are you'll be wanting to break out that chart with the wibbly lines that show how far over or under the tracker we were after each game in all our Premier League seasons.

I'm so relieved that we're not out already. It's important for it to still be Mathematically Possible to get to the knockout stage going into the third group game. That's what gives me a warm nostalgic connection to the international tournaments of my now-distant youth.
Now all we need to do is...
It's an interesting difference, in that I think most Scotland fans are desperately hoping that Ralston manages to raise his game or, failing that, that the ball comes nowhere near him, whereas I think that a fair number of England fans would also enjoy their own weaker players like, say, Harry...
I recently re-read the original Foundation novel (well, collected short stories) to check whether some of the interesting ideas in the Foundation TV series had been invented for the show or were just things I'd forgotten from the books. I was expecting to find it to be badly written, my...
