A comfortable 7-3 victory for Whatever You Want over a fairly experimental Ma Kelly. Goals from Shy Fly, April Spring.. and Lakky Lady prevented a whitewash, but it was largely a one-sided affair, reminiscent of the 1960 European Cup Final

Love the naivity of Ma Kelly but can she beat the seasoned pros ?.
Here we go
First up Spinning v the Title track
Heads say WYW , Heart says Spinning . Just love the harp. Probably one of the most difficult to call for me . Almost a suprise opening score for Ma but WYW takes it despite been overplayed and a bit tired on its 1000000000th appearance
Mid field battle next and this is where the old heads in WYW take over. You cannot win anything with kids and its an easy victory for WYW 2-0
Good battle next up , with Ma playing the mighty ASSAW against Living on an Island . If April is Spuds fave song , who am I to argue 2-1.
Half time and closer than I thought

A 6-4 victory for Ma Kellys. Ok I will try to produce some comments, hope are half understood Once a redoubtable and a former European Champion squad , Whatever you want have known better times. WYW was always behind and could never match the intensity and experience of Ma Kellys who know how to play these kind of matches. Despite Runaways and Who asked you efforts, Daughter, ASSW,SWB and Shy Fly dominated easily the midfield and produce an easy victory.

Spinning Wheel Blues v Whatever You Want = 0-1 SWB is a bit derivative & WYW has that opening & that riff. Daughter, Everything, Shy Fly v Shady Lady, Who Asked You, Your Smiling Face = 0-2 Solid ’79 midfield completely overwhelms ’70 attempt. (April) Spring, Summer and Wednesdays v Living On An Island = 1-2 For me, the slightly surreal lyrics give (A)S,SAW the edge - love the LOAI fade out though.
Junior’s Wailing v Come Rock With Me / Rockin’ On = 2-2 Although a cover, J’sW is the set opener for me. Oh, & CRWM/RO is execrable! Lakky Lady, Need Your Love, Lazy Poker Blues v Runaway, High Flyer = 3-2 Stronger ’70 midfield, even with a cover, ’79 adequate but that’s all, imo. Is It Really Me / Gotta Go Home v Breaking Away = 3-3 Although IIRM/GGH was so important in their development, BA is my favourite post Live! track.
Phew!

2nd half kicks off and I see ot the same as Dennis . Juniors Wailing levels the score at 2-2.
Not a fan of Runaway at all , but High Flyer carries the WYW album to a 3-2 outclassing Ma's best offerings.
Battle of a couple of epics next. I loved Gotta Go Home on the reunions segued onto 4500 times but with Is it Really Me it cannot compete with Breaking Away , so again I have WYW with a late winner. 4-2

Who Asked You, controls it with his chest, then volleys it into the top left corner, right in the last minute. That makes Whatever You Want Champions!

Turning out to be a bit of a ding dong battle . Last day before the ref calls it full time with Whatever You Want holding onto a slender lead.
This match will not run into Margie Time or Fergie Time or whatever else it was called. Big match up next.

Half time and it's 4-1 to MKGS, with only Who Asked You hitting the net for WYW.
A far better second half from WYW but a couple of miss-fires from both sides result on a 5-4 victory for MKGS.

Close contest for me but scoring wins for Ma Kelly’s were Spinning, Shy Fly, April Spring, Juniors, Lakky Lady. The clincher for Ma Kelly’s was Lazy Poker with an easy win over High Flyer. So Ma Kelly’s for me by a whisker.

Into the final few minutes and its 5 all, next one is the winner.
If still a draw we go to golden point.
Epic commute tomorrow due to congestion , so this match must be decided tonight before the last quarter final game kicks off tomorrow.
Who will join Quo, and Piledriver in the semis - Ma K or WYW ?

It's a tough one, but I'm going to go for 'Whatever You Want', purely on my 2 least favourite tracks from both albums and they are Daughter and Everything and they are both on the Ma Kelly's album.
