"Hi Lawrence, sorry to hear about your aching wrists," says my colleague Sean Ingle. "If it's any help, there's some painkilling gel and some tubing on my desk.

Scunthorpe look a lot more solid now we've bolstered our midfield and MacLean's back to full fitness. I think I'll not be owing you any money.
