The tractor boys seem to think it'll be a walk in the park. http://www.not606.com/threads/all-hull-breaks-loose.323917/#post-8947973
That link seems to only have two or three predictions, mainly thinking it'll be a draw, one thinking they'll get smashed, and one thinking they'll win.
Your Ipswich supporter is correct. Could also have added that to date, when Ipswich play Hull City on the 23rd of February, Ipswich have a 100% win record.
That's actually a good example. My missus wakes up every day and assumes today will be the day we hear something bad and we're back to square one. As annoyed as I am with my solicitor, I still wake up thinking maybe today we will exchange contracts. If it falls through, it falls through. Nowt I can do about it and no point in being miserable and assuming it will fall through. Sommat else will come along. Expecting the worst doesn't make it better if it turns out ok, those people just find something else to expect the worst of. **** that ****.
Your problems takes me back to the very first house we bought in Sydney back in 1970 after being in Aus for just over a year. The money to settle on the house was held by our solicitors in a trust account and the day before moving in we were informed that all money held in that trust account was frozen. Turned out that a barrister in the practice had misappropriated over 100,000 quid. Subsequently he got 6 years working in a Prison library. The owner of the house had allowed us to partially furnish the house( carpets, blinds etc) and the sale of the house was put in limbo. The company I worked for loaned enough money to buy the house and we finally moved in 9 months after the original settlement day. Without that loan we would have been technically bankrupt. We received the money frozen in the trust account 3 years later through a solicitors indemnity fund following the barrister's trial.
