GaiB > I’m starting to get the impression that (after the World Cup) we should actually start keeping quiet about how good SA is. Then we can keep it for ourselves. Hope the New Life plans are still progressing – watching relevant stats from the UK and it seems to be going the right way.

Unhappy Blade > Stoke, being further south than Sheffield, tends to breed players more used to playing in tropical conditions.

Stan > 9-1 in a competition with 31 other teams for which they haven’t even qualified yet? I think that’s pretty good going.

DW > G2 will make it to the second round. But that’s where it ends for them.

At odds of 9-1 the money doesn’t think too much of England’s chances.

Reading your explanation of why having the World Cup in ZA will favour England explains why the Blades lost tonight to Port Vale. It was too hot. Still we can concentrate on the league until January by which time the proper weather will be here.

It is indeed a shock that any person living in Britain can in any way be positive about next year’s World Cup.

I found myself in an “informed” conversation about SA today. One of my fellow coversationalists had been to Jo’burg once, the other is going to Cape Town to stay with a friend for 10 days in October – never been before, but spoke to some saffas a few years ago.

Their combined in-depth knowledge of SA was unbelievable, and entirely forgettable.

I really hope that we’ll be there in time for it – just to be part of it. It would be a great start to a new life.
