Perhaps a supporter for competitions such as this - especially if Wales involved.....
As for the League, far more luck than judgment and Wales doing better than expected!! Certainly hope Wales continue their run, but alas I don't believe mine will continue!!

TOT is playing silly buggers today so no football!

"Usurped" - don't you just love that word? There's something... salacious about it. Like 'slurp'.
Sorry, I need more coffee

Just lucky, great to see it so close in the forecasting. I predict the winner will be the football loving Welshman.
His present tactic is to lull us into a false sense of security.
Woke up this morning breathing that's a good start to the day.

Very close in the top 6 there. Haven't been able to check anything until I've seen the games the following day.
Will be a couple of late nights this weekend!

Big hand to England for a huge win - Big Boy's mate Harry just missing out on a Hatrick...
As for the
HHF Prediction League , Hat's off to Lindosfan who keeps the top spot (the gritting of my teeth is starting to hurt...
).
