Eleven entries in the COTS challenge as of Thursday morning. As Peter Surtees noted, that at least gives us a full team to start the season with. Howe...

@forever-dormo it is indeed possible to make contradictory predictions. However, in doing that you know for sure you won't get any points for one of t...

groan... 🤪

@original-fat-bob I'd agree with that Bob. I think RE's coaches are also a step up on what he has had previously as well, so I for one am feeling conf...

Hi FD. You have marked down Sheffield Wednesday to be an underachiever, which means they would have to finish in 22nd place or lower. That also mea...

Sorry Andy, indeed it was. It was meant for FD, so I'll do a new reply to him.

Here is my own curious set of predictions for the year, delivered wearing very rose tinted spectacles: Top 6 = Ipswich , Birmingham , BORO, West...

Hi Jarkko. You have picked Portsmouth to overachieve, which means they would finish 6th or higher. However, Portsmouth is not one of your selections...

@andy-r Hi Andy. You have marked down Sheffield Wednesday to be an underachiever, which means that would have to finish in 22nd place or lower. That m...

@clive-hurren thanks Clive. Just a note. You have marked Boro down as underachievers, but also to finish in 14th. To under achieve a team has t...

...and there used to be one called Elvis in the herd on the Cairngorms. It had a forward facing part of its antler than looked just like Elvis' quiff....

no problem, consider it done.

Another wee reminder to everybody to consult the tea leaves for the COTS challenge. We have just 6 entries so far with only 3 days left untill the big...

@original-fat-bob thank you for your excellent introduction to the new season. A fair summary of where we are at playing staff-wise. Very interesting ...

@exmil thanks for the reminder. I have decided that I will hold on to my optimism and stick with the 18 from 10 I predicted. CoB

well that is more like it, both for a fee and for an opportunity for himself. If he makes that move I hopevit will work out well for him. The danger f...

Apkom? That's a strange one. He recognised that it was Carrick that found out how to get the best out of him and Carrick is no longer at Boro. So, I a...

and I realised I missed both yours and FD's posts, si you were in fact the first to take the plunge, not Andy. Embarrassed look ☺️... an...

@andy-r ..thanks Andy. You are the first to take the plunge this year. I agree with you it is indeed devilishly (loved that choice of word) difficult ...

Just a wee reminder to everybody. Its just a week to go now, before the EFL Championship season kicks off on Friday 8th August, so time to start commi...

Yes, good news Len. Glad you are back home again. Good luck with the rehab. Physios are really your friend, so do listen to them.

So pleased for them. It just shows, you never give up and you can do it, despite everything. So happy for them all.

Just settled down with drinks and nibbles to cheer on the England ladies... looking forward to this game.

Paul Gascoigne maybe?

Thanks for that Clive. Any phenomenal-ness, if there was any, was only there a couple of years ago when I coded up the spreadsheet that I use to do al...

tbh Martin. I am sure no one is going to complain if you don't get your entry in till you get back from holiday. I don't think you will gain that much...

😱

@andy-r That's a fair and reasonable assessment of the situation. At the end of the day, professional footballers know exactly what their chosen worki...
