Former baggie, Carlton Lanky legs Palmer suffers a suspected small heart attack whilst running Sheffield half marathon. Kept in hospital overnight for observations.
57 years old, only slightly older than me, I am 57 in the summer, to be fair I will still be 57 in the winter , all joking a side, I'm wishing him good health and a speedy full recovery.

Being pretty near to myself and 4Ever, Wrexham's new owners are I think are showing, what the passion of an club owner should be.

You have Ryan Reynolds flying over for most of the home games, when he is not filming and Rob McElhenney gets over for a fair few. They have already seen the King visit the stadium (would he have bothered if they were not there to meet him) and of course this week and more importantly have signed 'Fozzy', short term, in a bid to see the rest of the season out and hopefully see their promotion to the Football League. Today has seen a video released made by Reynolds, McElhenney and Sir Alex Fergusson promoting a friendly in San Diego, between Wrexham and Manchester United this July, (how did that happen, how many non-league clubs can you name that have their summer training camps in California?). These are just a few of the ways they have actively been involved in promoting their club, and yes I am as envious as ****)

Genuinely, can anyone remind me of anything 'positive', Lai has ever done for our club.

And so it comes to pass that Humza Yousaf becomes the first ethnic leader of Scotland after over 25 years as a member of the SNP and 12 years in the Scot Parliament - decided after 52k (70%) members of the party decided to vote - a proud man indeed! However, he won on a split vote (52% v 48%) and many members, plus 1000s of Scot indy supporters, now watching and waiting to see what happens next and what direction he wants to take in progressively governing the country in a positive direction on a "continuity ticket" as well as taking heed of the raison d'etre of the SNP - to achieve Scottish independence. Intriguing times ahead as many Unionists now believing political opps potentially opening up while still backing Brexit and telling the Scottish people we are second class citizens who are not allowed to decide on our own future as an indy nation at any time on any day chosen as our sovereign right - delusional as usual, and with no substance or opinion poll to back up that opinion and with no leaders of any credibility whatsoever. And that includes the Labour "wooden top" leader named, Sir Keir Starmer - clueless re what is actually happening in Scotland!! Of course, he doesn't actually live in this country and that explains why!!

2 points for each correct scorer
Correct joker doubles your score      
Wrong joker result gives you minus 2
Correct Random Badger gives you 2 points

The random badger is used for any random prediction used once in each matchday sequence. For instance, a scorer at a particular match, the number of red cards in the matches or yellow cards or own goals or owt you want really within reason, I do need to be able to check whether it's correct or not. Please don't put stuff like....."Commentator says...."  
The joker   is played for one match in each sequence and if correct you get double points. So if you've predicted 1-0 and it finishes 2-0, you get 4 pts, but if you've predicted 2-0, that's 8 pts. But if you get it wrong, it's minus 2.
Jokers and badgers are optional. You don't have to play one if you don't want.

The prize for winning the league is one rep point.

Cup games: In the event of a draw, it's half the points if you've predicted a draw when it gets to 90 mins and the full points if it's still a draw after extra time. Half the points will be awarded for correctly predicting the winner of the match if it goes to penalties. Similarly with the badger, if your random prediction is affected by this, it'll be half the points.

Random score generator: I will be using the random score generator again for those who miss predicting, so we shouldn't get some people too far behind that after missing a couple of weeks they lose all interest, because I know it's not easy getting on here every week.
To be fair to everybody, this is going to be like, say if three people in one week miss their predictions, the first one in the table will be given all 0-0, the second one down the line will get 1-0 and the third will get 0-1 and so on, like if there's four missing the 4th will get 1-1, then 5th 2-1, 6th 1-2. and if there are so many missing, might as well pack in.
And if you miss two weeks on the trot, I'll stop until you come back on again. Not doing it for half a season like I did t'other year.  

End of season Play Offs: The one who finishes top of the league will still be champion, but after the season finishes there will be Play Offs between the top 4, with 1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd. This will take in stuff like the EFL Play Offs, FA Cup Final, final day of Prima Donna League, European Finals etc. It will be one matchday for the semis and one for the Final. It will be the individual scores for each matchday against the allotted opponent, with some kind of tie breaker for a drawn match.

The prize for winning will be enormous. Another rep point.

Well that was about as low as it gets as we put in one of our worst performances in a very long time going down to lowly Forest Green. IT WAS TOTAL GARBAGE AND WE DESERVED TO LOSE.

THE MATCH

Cheltenham had been having a difficult season but have taken 10 points from 12 from there last 4 games and are now 8 points above the relegation zone and looking good to stay up. Alfie May is there main threat with 13 goals so far this season. Wade Elliott is there manger and has been in charge since 2022. ONLY A WIN HERE WILL DO, hopefully Exeter will do us a favour and get something against the Dingles on Tuesday night.

KATE BECKINSALE TRIBUTE PIC

Manager Antonio Conte has left Tottenham Hotspur by mutual consent after 16 months in charge.

Conte called the Spurs players "selfish" and criticised the club's culture in a remarkable news conference after their recent draw at Southampton.

Tottenham are fourth in the top flight but are out of all cup competitions.

Conte's assistant Cristian Stellini will step up as head coach for the rest of the season, with former midfielder Ryan Mason his deputy.

"We have 10 Premier League games remaining and we have a fight on our hands for a Champions League place," chairman Daniel Levy said.

"We all need to pull together. Everyone has to step up to ensure the highest possible finish for our club and amazing, loyal supporters."


'I see selfish players' - Conte furious after what proves to be his final game with Spurs
His departure means Spurs are searching for their fourth permanent manager in four years since Mauricio Pochettino left in 2019.

They suffered a tame exit to AC Milan in the Champions League earlier in March, after Championship side Sheffield United knocked them out of the FA Cup at the start of the month.

Italian Conte, who had won league titles with former clubs Chelsea, Juventus and Inter Milan, was appointed in November 2021 after Spurs sacked Nuno Espirito Santo.

They struggled for consistency for much of his early tenure before a six-game unbeaten run, including a 3-0 win over rivals Arsenal, secured a top four finish.

But Tottenham's troubles have continued this season with nine defeats and four draws in 28 league games and questions about the playing style.

How Conte's Spurs record compares to previous clubs
Club Games Wins Losses Win percentage
Juventus 151 102 15 67.5%
Chelsea 106 69 20 65.1%
Inter Milan 102 64 15 62.7%
Tottenham 76 40 23 54.1%
Conte's Spurs were loudly booed after the 0-0 draw against Milan which resulted in a 1-0 loss on aggregate and condemned the club to another campaign without a trophy.

His last match in charge saw Tottenham throw away a 3-1 lead to draw at struggling Southampton on 18 March, with Conte launching a furious criticism of his players and the club after the match.

"Tottenham's story is this: 20 years there is this owner and they never won something. Why?" Conte said.

"Until now I try to hide the situation but not now because, I repeat, I don't want to see what I have seen today because this is unacceptable and also unacceptable for the fans."

Tottenham have won one trophy since the ownership group chaired by Levy took over the club in 2001 - the League Cup in 2008 - and have had 11 different managers.

This season has also seen Conte requiring gallbladder surgery in February.

He was absent for a victory over Manchester City on 5 February and, after briefly returning for two matches, missed another four games to focus on his recovery in Italy, with Stellini taking charge in his place.

Three close friends of Conte's, Spurs fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone, Sinisa Mihajlovic and Gianluca Vialli, have all died in recent months.

Che Adams is out injured for this Euro quali match. Lawrence Shankland called up as his immediate replacement. Spain opened up their quali campaign in Malaga with a 3-0 win v Norway. This will likely be a tough challenge v a Spanish international side that is clearly "in transition" after their World Cup failure in Qatar. And I must say they didn't look too secure defensively, but Norway not able to capitalise - some good scoring opps created, no takers and Haaland unfortunately missing due to injury. I expect Ryan Porteous to be "given the nod" in defence by Steve Clarke after a vg performance v Cyprus. Angus Gunn not really tested v Cyprus TBH! I suspect this upcoming fixture will certainly test out his goalkeeping capabilities to the limit. No doubt, Spain will be the favs to win this game although I think we have a chance to get a positive result with an all round team display. C'mon Scotland!

Matt hasn't been on here for 9 days, hope everything is ok with him??

I have taken the liberty of posting the fixtures so at least we can get our predictions in, hopefully he shows up soon.
