    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Not true. Peterborough College of Further Education have also done a prediction... and in that table Peterborough end up as champions.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Is there a method yet which would mean we skip the Championship and get promoted into the Premiership this season? How about PPPPGPG (points per points per game per game)?

    Outside the box idea to settle League 1

    I've got an off-the-wall idea too. It's unusual, so please clear your head of preconceptions and ride with it. Every team elects one player. They all get together two meters apart and are blindfolded and spun around in a circle by 23 referees, who then scarper. The theme music from Zorba the...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Can Peterborough go down? Can the EFL dock them points for standing on the cracks of the pavement or something? Those are the only circumstances under which I'd be in favour of playing out this season.

    Petition to ban a user

    Agreed. But we all have different opinions, some of them quite distasteful to others - once we start silencing people for homophobia what next? And, of course, the best way of persuading someone they are wrong is through example and engagement - not exile.

    What Books Are You Reading?

    Have a couple on the go. Just started the Gorse Trilogy (Patrick Hamilton) but also dipping into Camus's 'The First Man' and when I've only got 10 minutes reading one of Sholem Aleichem's 'Tevye the Dairyman' stories.

    Petition to ban a user

    I'm not in favour of banning anyone. I'm most definitely not on board with the current trend for 'cancelling' and 'no platforming' people. In this case it's probably a troll, but if it were a genuinely nasty person then having access to a chat site with tolerant people is the best treatment...

    Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!)

    Crikey, I floated Ugbo a couple of days ago as the kind of striker we may go for. I have no inside knowledge at all.

    Can we compete

    I reckon that if we get another striker, it'll be someone we've never heard of - which was the case with most signings last summer: youth players from other clubs; players from abroad; Bosmans from other sides who were not household names. I was looking at the Chelsea youth team yesterday...

    Can we compete

    I would think it's very unlikely that we'd throw all our financial rules away if we are promoted. There will be a bit more to spend and my guess is that a realistic aim in year 1 would be to avoid relegation. If we want to compete at the top end we'll need to build slowly as we have been...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    The majority of clubs will be neither in risk of promotion nor relegation and vote in the way that the deem fairest, I imagine. The small number voting in the way that suits them personally should be irrelevant.

    Glimmer of Light

    Where does this come from? I thought it was being released on Sunday... and that it was to be predicated upon conditions not dates. Is this a genuine early view or just newspaper speculation?

    St Andrews/ The Ricoh

    Of course... but if there's no vaccine and no herd immunity it may be the only option. Unless we change tack and just allow it to flow through the population.

    St Andrews/ The Ricoh

    I'm starting to think that there may not be any football this year! Possibly another option on the table is to cancel next season, and use any time we can snatch before May 2021 to complete this season.

    Hoffman Welcomes News

    You are very astute, Wingy. In the last hour, since I shared my game, a cheap Chinese version called 'Find the bin bag; Find the bin bag; Find the bin bag (but not the white bin bag because that it full of a new virus)!' has been rushed out and is now for sale on Amazon. However, I didn't...

    Well that was unexpected! Thank you everyone for the hundreds of DMs offering encouragement and support for my game 'Find the Bucket, Find the Bucket, Find the Bucket (but not the white bucket because that gives you -100 points)'. I'll answer some of the queries here, so I don't have to keep...

    I've also got a bucket idea. Would you pass it on to Gary? The idea is that you take 7 buckets, all of different colours. And then you hide them. The kids have to find the red bucket. If they do, they get 7 points. But if the find one of the other buckets first then the lose points as...
