The way Moses trajectory is going, you'd think they wouldn't need to hide him in 1 or 2 more offseasons

Who predicted that we may need 32 points to make the top 8 with pur poor for and against.
30 would be enough i was told. Who would feel confident if we where stuck on 30 now? 30 may be enough but id be nervous.Our for and against wpuld still be close to 0 if lost last 2 games. If saints beat dogs chances are we may not of made it.

MR 85%

Who predicted no side on 30 points would miss the finals !!!

Once again history wins out!!

Game set match. History Mr 100%!!'

Why not. How the f**k is William shortened to Bill? Where did the B come from?
My guess is that it's related to the way the V and B sounds have historically interchanged in a range of languages. But where does the V come from merkin?!? I hear you ask. Well, the W and V sounds have also interchanged often. You'll still hear this in English speakers from India or Northern Europe, whether the Indian scammer who calls to tell you about your wirus, or the TV Nazi who says "Ve have vays of making you talk."

I always thought it was cause people with nothing better to do thought it was a right lark swapping lettters about.

Hence William>>Will>>Bill
Richard>>>Rick>>>Dick
Robert>>>Rob>>>Bob

And so on. Basically boring people plus too much lead.

Well, William comes from the French 'Guillaume', in which the first consonant is harsh and definitely pronounced. And Guilluame le Conqueror had quite an impact on Angleterre
