Not too bad as I was going to predict a 1-1 draw!

He said he was pleased and to shut the f*** up. Back home now and off work for 4-6 weeks with a new bionic knee etc.. seriously might start playing footy again.... ON STANLEY ON

You do need to put more effort into your excuses, Choirboy, especially when you see Kiwi John showing you the way to do it .... seriously Kiwi , get well soon but if you do it again, don't forget to take your phone into hospital so you can get your prediction in .

Others have got out of the habit too, only 21 entries yesterday , and the absence of both Toms opened the gate for Stanleyhouse to make a first appearance on the prediction league podium, moving up from 7th to 3rd despite only taking 4 points (incidentally, being the only person taking 4 points). Four of us did better, with maxis falling to Cashman (9th to 5th), Watchdog (13= to 9th), MikeA (15= to 10=) and even me (22= to 15=).

Three points for most of the rest of you, defaulters and fencesitters being few and far between, but including Ossy Kid who fell off the podium as a result, dropping to 4th. T'other Ozzy moved up to 2nd with a bonus-less 3 points, the same as our leader StanleyJosh, who remains 4 points clear at the top of the heap.

So, a satisfactory restart to the league programme and every reason to cry "roll on Swindon" with a certain amount of confidence ahead of Tuesday's game, when hopefully a few more than 21 of us will remember to put a forecast in .

On Stanley On!!

It means D3N wrote nearly 100 words in his introduction for each person who bothered to play ......

But if the team can be bothered to carry on playing footy with no audience, I guess we can carry on writing drivel on the same basis for a while longer yet.

Edit - I meant D3N can carry on researching and I can carry on writing drivel, of course .....

No, you were right the first time ... purveyors of drivel
