can you put me down for a pools panel for the following two weeks as ill be on my holidays thakns for posting these quickly

I'm grateful that the Iron haven't been included in the 'basement teams'

Now then, dare I predict an MK Dons win...?

B

I'm glad Livi weren't included in the basement teams too.

Mind you our record of equal worst SPL score got wiped out today, thank you Celtic.

If you'd been playing next weekend, you'd have been on the list. Trust me on this one

Thank goodness for small mercys. I don't have that torment to look forward too next saturday.

Blimey. Empoli's reserve keeper's a bit young, isn't he?

B

They obviously believe in youth development over there.

I was surprised to see that Macclesfield have signed Tommy Lee: http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=43367 .

Perhaps the management there saw his famous video with Pamela Anderson and were impressed with his tackle?

I was sitting down listening to the dreadful shambles that is the Blades at home to QPR, and I had this niggling feeling that I had forgotten something...

Ooops!

I would criticise this late posting, but your predictions are so woefully poor I don't think I'll bother.
