Thanks The Thudd .As Mr Beard is back, and despite you noting I had ‘0’ points (was that not as i didn’t participate?)I will give it a go. For me I predict a humiliating 2-0 defeat at Nocastle. Do we get extra points for using what proves to be the right adjective? perhaps we should have a range of adjective such as ‘disastrous’, humbling, humiliating, predictable, regulation, closely-fought, abject, thrilling, mercurial, etc etc. All you would have to do is scan all the papers and see what is used the most, and then award points.. say 3,2,1 for the best 3. What do you reckon?
