h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Its that time of year again when GD takes a well earned break.

Just for fun. No points, no prizes. Just to give me something to do at work on Boxing day to complie the results here is the Christmas Special in by lunch-ish time on Saturday as normal.

Carlisle v Brentford
Hibernian v St Mirren
Reading v Everton
Ipswich v Stoke
Southend v Birmingham
Tranmere v Gillingham
Man City v Bolton
Aberdeen v Rangers
Stirling v Ayr

So we dont have to do this?

Aw come on. You know you wanna.

Although looking at today's papers it might be fun to predict which games will actually take part and which will be fog bound.

Ah well at least I'll make the seasonal effort. Ho. Ho. Ho.

With most of the games not yet at half-time, I'm already guaranteed more points than I got in the crucial final week of last season. Why don't I do it when it matters?

Ormy - Is that an admission you Keeganed ?

You loved it, just loved it, when I failed, didn't you?

I never take pleasure in the failure of others.

Except Craig Bellamy, Larry Lloyd, and Chelsea Football Club.

I thought everyone took pleasure in the failure of Craig Bellamy...

B

I don't care one way or the other about Craig Bellamy
