Prediction Lg; Wk 2 results, wk 3 fixtures, by 14 Sep (15:00)

Afternoon all.  Decent win yesterday.  I said that last week as well – so I’m keeping it for good luck.  This will cause a problem if I can’t post until a Monday, but no doubt I’ll work something out. 

And talking of working something out, I have great pleasure in announcing a replacement for Serge Keeper – in the slender form of a mystery manager who goes by the name Sir Colin with his crack team, Ivor Stand.  Many thanks for stepping into the breach Sir C.  Nb. Sir Colin will post via Whatsapp – if anyone else wants to do this please let me know (we did it a couple of seasons ago for those who found it difficult to post on the forum, though it does cut the banter a bit). 

Down in the technical weeds this means Sir Colin will take over Serge’s fixtures, and be awarded 6 goals for his first match as if he were the Dummy Team.  If anyone objects (presumably serial moaners Hatted and Dinamo), take it up with the management. Remember - we are a democracy where I am Boris and Cup of Tea is Dominic Cummings.

In fact Sir Colin had an auspicious start, albeit he had the gentlest of introductions against Fat Tom.  But let me just say we will need to be very careful with the attendance prediction going forward!

So what else happened?  Well Blackballed lost his first match in over a year (which will be good for his burgeoning hubris) and Lady Jago got the “attendance as cooked up by Sir Colin” spot on yet still lost to King of the League, Ozz.  Mr D is the surprise new leader, but those who saw him in Div 2 last season will confirm he’s no Mug of Tea * and could go all the way.   In Div 2, MikeMike looks to be the new guy to beat – while at the basement Mick, Dinamo and Dummy all look to be settling into the bottom 3 like a Tesco trolley in the bed of the Ingrebourne.  And yes, I was extremely lucky.

* - I’m actually quite proud of that one!

Finally, please note that the Zambia v South Africa match was called off due to political unrest so everyone scores zero. It also means that the 13 goals scored by this week’s joint Golden Bootists was pretty impressive.  I can’t be arsed to name them but you can work it out for yourselves if you can be bothered.

Here it all is in glorious techniolor monochrome:

Top of the league, who'd've thunk it. Total beginner's luck and I'm certain that a crash and burn is imminent.

I didn't even realise I'd joined this game as I was drunk in charge of a laptop but I've always taken responsibility for my active stupidity.

I'm looking forwards to visiting Carshalton as I haven't been there since Thurrock's Conference South days.

FC Koln 0 v 3 B. Monchengladbach
Wolves 1 v 3 Chelsea
Sheffield Utd 2 v 1 Southampton
Daggers 1 v 1 Hartlepool
Carshalton 2 v 1 Hornchurch
Attendance : 406

Oooh. Can I have 6 goals too please?

I get the bumbling buffoon analogy for you and Boris, but I never had Si pegged as the Prince of Darkness to be honest.

I see the Chuckle Brothers (Hatted and Dinamo) are up to their normal comedy routine.  It's nice to know, in these turbulent times, that some things will never change.

I note I still have my previous team's branding on the League Table which os clearly why we were unfairly defeated this weekend. Petitioning the league to get the game replayed midweek due to this oversight which has clearly cost us.

No.  Petition rejected under the little-used  "rose by any other name" rule (Rule 44.8 Para 5.7.2).    Or in your case "trump by any other name" (Rule 44.8 Para 5.7.2 (Scotland))

Certainly, though quite why you want to go down from 14 goals to 6 is a mystery to me.

 

Meanwhile a quick note for MikeMike - I know you're new here and all that but it's not quite the done thing to back against the Urchins.   It's not a rule as such, just good manners.  (Draws are acceptable). 

On a happier note, here are Sir Colin's predictions for Ivor Stand:

FC Koln  1-1  B. Monchengladbach
Wolves  1-2  Chelsea
Sheffield Utd  2-2  Southampton
Daggers  1-0  Hartlepool
Carshalton  1-2  Hornchurch
Attendance : 410

Sorry if it's bad form but if you include Hornchurch as one of the teams to predict on then I'm going to give my best guess.
If an honest guess isn't allowed then you shouldn't include the fixture - or should only ask for a prediction on Hornchurch goals but not the opposition.

It’s just a bit of jesting MikeMike , there’s a lot of that going on with this competition. I’m the prince of darkness apparently :) On our form,  I wouldn’t bet against us though!!! (Lewis Smith might !!!)
