In football parlance GUTTED

Particularly after my honourable good luck message to you beneath my scores

Anyway, concentrating on the Predictor Cup!

And there was me thinking I'd better not mention it. Good contest and must be disappointing to score 15 and lose. Always good though to get 6 points for the nominated game which we both did.

I see we're going head-to-head in the play-off round!

May the best man win, Bispham

Yes, I second that and I must remember that Friday, not Saturday, is the deadline for predictions to be in.

To give you some comfort derby, I have never been very good at predicting international matches.

I will, as ever, be watching San Marino online via whatever site I can find showing the game.
Have done for years now and it can be quite addictive.

Seeing them get that point last time out against Estonia was magic

The new coach has really got them believing they can play football rather than enter the pitch on nothing more than a damage-limitation exercise.

There's even a couple of dozen fans following them to Slovenia on Friday - now that's progress.

Confirmed above that it was Fulham.

Last appearance for them was 1975 and for Ipswich 1978.

Sorry if I've posted this before but it's worth another shout.

What was missing from the 1956 FA Cup Final that was present at every
cup final before or since?????

I suppose saying "the FA Cup itself" would be too obvious?

So I'll have a stab at - a member of the Royal Family.

I know this one, so I won't spoil it for the others

[bisphamseasider]

You either know this or you don't

I don't think it is something you could guess even if you had 100 attempts.

I knew about this from the Bert Trautman Story but will not post the answer just yet.

Is it 22 healthy necks at the final whistle?

No but it is something to do with human anatomy.

Got it! Your clue reminded me - I won't spoil it for anyone still guessing but I bet the referee couldn't do this
