I predict that I'll get at least one more player asking where they are meant to be travelling to, texts and phone calls today so far include players from 5 different Division 1 teams asking for directions and pairings

I predict that I will be hosting the live games again

A rare blemish on you record of predictions, it finished 1-1. Although Birmingham took the lead Villa hit the woodwork four times Hopefully there was no need for riot police during the Betsson match

I heard we shud'v been awarded a penalty (err Blues that is,not Cheddleton)

I'm guessing it wasn't a Villa fan who told you that

No it wasn't Loz - they were both at the match

I knew by the volume of the first cheer (which reached the playing hall from the bar) that we must have gone in front. When there were no more cheers,but an audible groan,a bit later, I feared the worst

Who'd have thought it, a chess player complaining of a lack of audible cheering during his game?!

In division 1, pool b, I see e2e4 did the Oxbridge double this weekend (beating both Cambridge University 1 and Oxford 1 by the narrowest of margins), but still have to play Wood Green Hilsmark. It actually looks pretty close in that pool. Pride & Prejudice and Barbican 4NCL and Wood Green Hilsmark are all on 100%, and Barbican managed to get an 8-0 victory over Pandora's Box Grantham. I also see e2e4 (sorry, e2e4.org.uk is their full team name) have four teams!
