What do Dave McAleer (Crystal Palace), Trevor Morris (Sunderland) and Ben Wallis (Northampton Town) all have in common (besides supporting rubbish teams)? They all share this week’s highest score (eight) following another difficult weekend of predicting.
This news will come as a relief to Trevor, in particular, whose wretched campaign – including four weeks on the bench – had threatened to derail his title challenge before it’d even begun. Yes, he’s still propping up the table, but Trevor’s Tyne and Wear charges are now within touching distance (two points) of Michael Whitty’s Bunch of Losers and all the other under-achieving predictors for whom the winter will be long and, furthermore, hard.
One of the Predictorship’s unwritten laws is never let your honeymoon get in the way of sending in your predictions. Don’t forget Bill Shankly’s immortal words of wisdom, conveniently tampered with here in search of a cheap laugh: “Football is not a matter of life, marriage and death. It’s far more important than the wife”. Linfield’s James Bradley is therefore guilty as charged, picking up a red card and putting himself in relegation peril for taking a new wife and giving her his undivided attention. It just won’t do.
