I got a whole ten points that week on Brian's Prediction League... not that I've ever made claim to know what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to predicting the outcome of our games... nor anyone elses! Laws and refereeing: Yes! Tactics and predictions: No! Furthermore I decided not to attend the match, deciding to get some other things done and watch it in the pub. You're welcome!
Seems like Peter Whittingham has passed away at just 35. Remember he was a very good player for Cardiff often playing well against us.

Barnet have placed their first-team coaching and backroom staff, staff at the academy and those on the operational side of the club on notice of redundancy.
