Only way to tell the büggers apart, worked with the RRW in Canada, couldn't tell one Jones, Williams, Davies, Evans or Thomas from the other 96 in the Regiment, but their "Colour Boy", knew every one of them & their last 4!

(Think he might have also known some of their mums too .... but that was just a rumour allegedly

)

Sorry, Chimer. I know I'm late again and I expect no special consideration. Well actually, I do - but I know I won't get any. So, just for fun, I'll say 1 apiece.

The result being in, I have considered specially and concluded that I would have been happy to record your entry but for the fact that a) it was worth points

b) there is a prize on offer this season

and c) you do still have a mathematical chance (roughly the same as a snowball's in hell

) of winning it

.

So all I can do for you is suggest you a) get hold of a watch with an alarm

and b) set it on match days

- oh, and call you a wazzock

P.S. Edit to note: Having done the scores, you can't win now

, but could still if I'd given you 3 points ......

Cashy and Watchdog Lead Charge of the Drawmongers

The fence was once again the place to be, once that 88th minute penalty was saved

, and the five inhabitants duly advanced up the table. Stanleyhouse took the only maxi

, leaping from 18th to 11th. 3 points

for Ange B and Choirboy saw them move from 20th and 22nd to 18th and 19th, respectively. But at the head of the pack, the same

for Cashman and Watchdog saw them close in on pointless StanleyJosh and one-point

Outback Ozzy. SJ still heads the table but now leads Ozzy only on countback, both now having 77 points, with Cashy on 73 and the sleepless hound on 72.

The more decisive players split pretty evenly, 11 keeping the faith and 10 abandoning it. 6 of the faithful and 3 of the faithless got a bonus point

for predicting a clean sheet somewhere, but little shuffling resulted, the only change in the Top Ten seeing DaveinGermany slide by Valairian to take over 7th spot.

With 6 games left to play and 30 points to play for, AccyMad in 23rd place can still win the thing

, but sadly AndyD in 24th, and semi-regulars Revived Red, LongLostSon and StevieR in 25th to 27th, cannot

.

So it's roll on the Dale. One might suspect that this game, and the following one on Tuesday against free-falling Donny, would represent our best and maybe only

chances of more points this season. But looking at the last 4 results

, prediction does seem to be becoming a mug's game ......

On Stanley On!!
