Grimsby must have been pretty dire of Kozluk got the chance to score for the Blades. I mean his normal position is giving the kiddies rides on Blackpool Pleasure beach!

Well, spook, as I said, we're now 10 points clear of the drop zone. That's 10 big points clear, not three points away from the trapdoor into Division Three like some teams I could name.

I've just seen Kozluk's goal, and it was a beauty - a 25-yard daisy-cutter right in the bottom corner! 
I must say, though, the 
look as if the concept of 'defence' has never been explained to them...

By the by, some people may remember that at the beginning of Season 4, Egon instigated a 'Who's Gonna Win All These Competitions' competition. Is that still ongoing?

I'll look into it 
I was definitely planning on a subsidiary competition all around the Division 1 to 3 playoffs. It is a question of sorting out a new page and a few tweaks to the rules. The main one I can see being that the predicted result is the result after 90 minutes, and not extra time / penalties.

I'll nip over and get a thread link, and see how people have done so far.

OK, the thread's http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/brunel/F93200?thread=194240 Sprout was the only one who correctly guessed Liverpool for the worthless cup, which is the only one decided thus far.

For me it's one right and one wrong so far, with six still possible and three blatantly not going to happen. (Wolves for the first division championship anyone? Roma for the Italian championship?)

Hmmm, yes. Who said Millwall for the 1st Division? They should be worth having a good laugh at.

Was that me? Well, as you might have guessed, I'm not terribly good at all this football predictioning stuff.

Can't bring myself to tip either West Ham (my brother's team) or Huddersfield (my team) to go down. They both probably will though. 
I'm going to predict a Bolton win in the other thread as well, so that doesn't really make sense with this either...
