Top scorers with 13 points each, Allledleykingsmen, Spur of the Moment, No Kane No Gain. The last three players to predict as it happens. Spurlock opens a 5 point gap at the top but only 27 points behind is KingHotspur leading the second division and that's nothing in this game. 3 failed to predict. Cup game in between but next prediction required for away to Saints.

Wish me luck when I go under the surgeon’s knife next Wednesday! 50+ years of club cricket have taken their toll on my knees and I need new ones. This is the first. Hope to be back in action in time to predict the Man U game…… I have a soft spot for Southampton – and not just because they’ve provided us with so many points, as well as stars in the making and a first-rate manager (although all of that helps!) but especially because they were my dad’s team. So this week’s song (from The Hothouse Flowers) is a heartfelt plea for them to stay in the PL, where I think they belong. Hope they get through their bad patch............ once we’ve beaten them, of course! Don’t Go! Here, there's a whiff of relegation and it's filling up my senses - And while Son is shining now on defences in the Premier League - There's a buzzing fly hanging around the Baggies and the Potters But there's a lot more winning, yeah, left in this team! Don't go! Don't get sent down, down, down - While the Spurs smile - Stick around and play a while, yeah! Now Spurs play on Wembley’s soft grassy pitches, While the Saints are submerged in the basement and it’s not good; Spurs are playing building castles in the CL Saints need just a little shove and all can be so fine! Don't go, etc There's our Harry and he’s coming at them - And he scores now; There's that Dele Alli gliding smooth into a space; And Son is scoring on the other side of the goalmouth; And the fans going wild with smiles on their faces! There's a black cat lying in the shadow of the goal-post And the black cat keeps telling me that Spurs will win away, yeah There's a black cat, etc And the black cat, etc Don't go, etc + repeats Prediction: Southampton 0 Spurs 3 Scorers: Kane, Alli, Son Cheers, Spurf!
I was never at the crease long enough for that to be the problem........ but bowling long spells up the hill and into the wind, oh yes!!! And thanks for the good wishes.
Good luck, Audrey. My knees have somehow lasted ok so far, but my right shoulder’s ****ed from 20 years of fast bowling. Heh ho!!
We usually come back from our mid-season 'change of scenery' a little bit rusty. A close-fought 1-2 for me. Kane Son
