Why can't you listen to the England game on the internet?

We'll see won't we. The last one was extremely comfortable, maybe Wales will be more competitive at home.

And it's apparently 'typical' both to make expect to lose ('pre-emptive excuses') and to expect to win. Doesn't make much sense.

yeah we will, and i won't cry if Wales do lose, or get all angry and smash stuff up.

not saying you are expecting to lose, just laying down some pre emptive excuses just in case you do
then you come back with the old 'should win comfortably'

hehe

Err, yeah, except my intial post in no way gives in any sort of excuse. I can't even see how you can think that it does.

Yeah but England have been perpetually shit in friendlies for ages. I wouldn't read anything into it.

again for ya english (in denial) brain

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Do I really need to explain that?

It's saying that England have been crap in friendlies recently, but better in competitive games. Therefore I wouldn't take it as much of an indicator for the next match.

That clearly isn't making any excuse for losing that next match. Obviously.

Is that clear enough for your Welsh brain?

Fair enough. Feel free to bump the thread and have a gloat if it happens.

3rd and 7th of September.

Which game is on the 3rd, and What time's the kick-off? (Am organising a picnic that day and hoping for an evening kick-off so it doesn't clash.)

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Wales is the 3rd, 3.00pm kickoff.

I think.
