Back to Business...

Fantastic Scotland performance this weekend in beating Ukraine. Four points from Goergia away and Italy at Home and Scotland will be there. I am going to Hampden next month for the Italy game; the place will erupt if Scotland make it and I can see the stadium still being full an hour after kick-off if they do as the party gets underway. Let's hope the hangover on the Sunday morning is because we want to remember and not because we want to forget.

I also watched a dogged England display as they ground out another amazing result at the Stadt de France. It's hard to think that England have actually made it to the Rugby World Cup final, but they have and no amount of purist pontification will change that. Despite what they are saying publicly they will be hoping to face the Argies next week. Whilst the South African's are hot favourites this evening, I can see the Pumas running them close. I hope so, because England have the game to beat them but not, I fear, the Boks and the wounds from they opening round mangling are still too fresh to be forgotten.

Back to business, and it great to see Chris Dickson's name appearing as scorer on the pub telly in Glasgow yesterday. First because that's four in a week, but also because it meant Millwall were losing (so they scraped a draw - it's not the end of the world).

Looks like we might need the win at Wolves on Saturday if Watford aren't to increase their lead at the top - they should beat Hull comfortably at Vicarage Road. West Brom and Bristol City are also away, at Colchester and Norwich respectively, so Watford will go six points clear if we don't match their result. C'mon you Reds!
