Back to normal football, although four away wins could be considered anything other than service as usual.
Ozleeds (EOEx) wasn't thrown off of the scent though, picking up 15 points using all bar the L2 Priestfield Stadium clash. Fair dinkum, Cobber! Whatever that means (let's see if it squeaks past the online swear filter).
Resident Roboposter, Howie (OOOO), selected his regular set of 0-99 away wins and scored a dozen points. Shame on the rest of us, eh?!
Nasty's good form continues despite the WC break and he is now 15 points ahead of Stompy, with strangely absent Silentman a Blackjack back in third.
There were no draws, so Johnny_Default stays on 30 points. Any Strike 1 (Alf, Silentman and Ubique), Strike 2 or Strike 3 posters scored nowt for their lack of effort. Presumably because they're still locked up in Qatar?
The results
(PL) Southampton v BHA (1-3)
(C) PNE v Hudds (1-2)
(L1) Fleetwood v Sheff Weds (1-2)
(L2) Gills v Colchester (0-1)
The next fixtures are out as a separate thread.
All the best! Stay safe!

I'm still worried about dinkum
Dinkum is an English dialect word brought to Australia by white settlers. It originally meant work. In Robbery Under Arms Rolf Boldrewood writes, It took us an hours hard dinkum to get near the peak. From this came fair dinkum originally meaning a fair days work for a fair days pay
An example someone is telling something that's BS another would turn around and say Fair Dinkum Mate! Meaning give it up and be honest for a change.
Digger!
The term was applied during the First World War to Australian and New Zealand soldiers because so much of their time was spent digging trenches. An earlier Australian sense of digger was 'a miner digging for gold '. Billy Hughes, prime minister during the First World War, was known as the Little Digger.
In more modern times if someone points at someone and says his a real Digger that one! It means his a hard worker.
Now lets hope Leeds do I digger and safe some face tonight.
I bet it really means knob.
