There I was packing my bags ready to fly off to Paris tomorrow to remind the French how they should be eternally greatful for the allies liberating them in '45 and after on a boat travelling up the Seine to the Normandy Beaches and battlefields of the Somme when I thought about the new season and bugger me the Championship starts the day after I get back from the UK after my French sojourn.

No problem, anti. Sorry to hear the sad news regarding your brother-in-law. Was he the retired copper you used to go to St Marys with when you were in the Uk? Have a safe return to Oz.
What do you think @devonFRATTONiser re. predictions for the 17th August? Are you happy with all Championship scores, or Premier League + Pompey and Saints games only?

Yes it was he had cancer the chemo cured his cancer but his immune system was shot thus contracted pneumonia and passed away 5 days before I was due to see him -
I#m easy (no comments required ) but I think Championship games and maybe a couple of randoms to keep us on our toes.....
Bloody typical. My palliative chemo is still going really well, so my gallows humour is forcing me to cross roads very carefully and look out for that bleedin bus being driven by the grim reaper!"
