Presumably there will be 3 places for each of the hosts, all from Concacaf confederation. It’ll be interesting to see how FIFA decide which confederation loses qualifying spots. Fifa probably gave it to the US to make sure they are in the WC in 2026, not that most yanks know they aren’t even in it this time, or care.

Another song being belted out in the bar at M.K. Dons was to the tune of Something Tells Me I’m into Something Good by Herman’s Hermits. It sounded great... Woke up this morning feeling fine, Got Blackburn Rovers on my mind, Mowbray................( forget this line), Something tells me Rovers are going up.

The tune it is sung to is Sloop John B by the Beach Boys.

He did well, and on his general knowledge round too. Got a few nuggets in about winning the Prem when he got his trophy. I wonder what it would be like to have a Rovers fan as the PM??

Terrible score at present with Huddersfield winning. This would clinch their play-off place, making their game at Birmingham irrelevant from their point of view. We need them to be needing to get a result at St. Andrews.

How many more of these cryptic banners will the Slayer be posting? Sound like a Candle in the Wind, blown out by emisions from someone's backside.

That is a ridiculous statement to make. If you'd have looked carefully, "phoney" Tony's tie is a Rovers club tie.

My sentiments exactly.
