So if you were so utterly convinced of your ability to predict the league placings at the end of the season, why make such wholesale changes 4 weeks in? Self-doubt creeping in, or just hedging your bets?

I did it on purpose to see if you took the bait and it looks like I've been proved right - again!

OK, keep believing that if it makes you feel better. When can we expect the definitive Zod prediction for 2010? Do let me know so I can bookmark the right version.

February 2010.

You can also give a prediction of how many times you'll mention injuries next season as well with Dad's Army coming.

A lot. You heard it here first. You do know the average age of our squads is the same, don't you? And that's excluding Aizue and Gene.

Fitz and Long will do for me if they do the biz.Couldnt give a toss if they are 40 in that case.

Of course, I work it out every time there is player movement at each club.

So you agree the Dad's Army comment is an irrelevance, what with you having Galea and Fozzard on the books to balance out Long and Fitzgibbon?

Long is a very very poor signing.

Based on what?
