Hi Brin . Sorry due to my Arrival in the Uk on 1st April, I have to change the sim on my phone to an English one. I hope to be back with you as soon as that can be sorted. so I don't know if I will miss a few prediction fixtures. Not by attendance as I do hope to make the home games in April. Up the Millers. This will be my first ever visit to New York Stadium. My Thai Mrs. Meow and I are really looking forward to the games.

Hello Thai, no problem at all. You don't actually say when you fly in but I am about to put up this weeks fixtures.

If you can manage it why don't just submit x 10 predictions just as a random guess also a random guess at the Predict a score for this weekend? You can also do this for the 1st April, 7th and 10th April, I will put them all on for you if it helps. If you choose to do so just PM me.

Wouldn't like you to miss out now, you've been with us all season pal.

I hope it's a great visit for you both and especially the visit to the NYS.

blighty - don't hear that very often nowadays

You don't, Grist, it's true. Seeing it here made me curious about the origins of the word. This is one possible derivation; there may be more:


"Blighty" was first used in India in the 1800's, and meant an English or British visitor. It's thought to have derived from the Urdu word "vilāyatī" which meant foreign. The term then gained popularity during trench warfare in World War One, where "Blighty" was used affectionately to refer to Britain."

The word was also extended in World War One to mean a wound that got you a ticket home as in "He caught a blighty"
