Nothing temporary about it Dev, you have to repeat it week after week to be good. Try it sometime.

Am sure AC has had many a slap with a wet Plaice. He's a male Gold Digga in the perfect job to side a few ounces. He's DA's do boy and I have a vision in my head that I daren't put in words on here or else the boys will come knocking. It involves Pidgeons and I can promise you AC looks ugly - real ugly.

Good job you weren't doing the casting for the film. You need an Eli Wallach or an Ernest Borgnine or a Ron Perlman. Being ugly inside isn't enough. You need some physical ugliness and AC gets where he is, because he LOOKS presentable and honest. Myra Hindley wasn't an ugly woman, they had to make her look ugly in pictures to match her crimes. Picture serial killer - you don't want to see a dishy bloke or a gorgeous woman now do you?

I think I won the Predication League once ..... didn't I? But I'm even worse on the future than the past. I imagine I probably know more about the individual managers, clubs and players in this league than anybody involved if it were a quiz ....... but I'm nowhere near as good as you at predicting stuff that is going to happen, both with results and Chesterfield's slow demise. Probably that's why you run your own company, you can sort out what matters from what's irrelevant. My decisions are always full of irrelevancies and could only very tangentially be described as rational.

I also mess about too much, but I've noticed when I mess about I don't do noticeably worse than when I try really hard. Last few weeks I've been genuinely trying to overtake Amelia. I finally managed that, but that was probably as much to do with her temporarily struggling as me getting things right.

My prediction is St Charles Owl will win the Predication League ........ now that should kybosh your only serious rival!
