Tough one this!!!!!

 

I liked Riga, even more so when you're getting paid to go there for work.

 

Agree, would be happy with a point here. Clean sheet would be excellent for us. There will be a lot of nerves around gaining qualification so I expect we will set up not to lose and try to manage the game.

 

I've done England 6-0 winners just to get a decent price worth betting on. I know it won't be that but stranger things have happened.

 

3 v 0 England

 

4-0

 

I see England u21 beat Andorra 1-0 last night at Pride Park.....They didn't park the bus, they parked the juggernaut...

These kind of games remind me of the Monty Phyton sketch. It was rugby game.
Hull Kingston Rovers vs. The Women's Institute.

 

Watkins will be a big miss tonight.

 

Very lucky. Riga is up there in my top 3 cities.

 

I hope that bet comes in but I think a standard 2-0 as per usual in such games.

 

We can only hope. The prices for less goals was ridiculous so I put this on for a bit of fun and extra interest.

 

This one?

 

They appear to be playing at Latvias version of Costello Stadium..

 

Not arsed tbh, roll on Saturday.
