Spot has been on the wind-down for weeks now.
Thank you all who have stuck with us. It's been a long season

So have I. Not quite sure how I got this far but I'll take it. Good luck Wilks, let's hope it's a close one.

All finalists have submitted their selections but Spot has insisted that I cannot access them until half-time v Sheffield United.
BIG questions are
Can Sproggy take two Cups? Can Wilks come back from a goal deficit?
Will icu81b4 overcome being 3 goals down?
Who will take the Michael Duff Trophy... very tight there !
All to play for on the last day.
Be there, or be somewhere else !

I’ll be “somewhere else” - aka Wilfreds for a meal
(although I might sneak away for the classified results, but don’t tell Mrs W

1 C5
2 D10
3 E12
4 C7
and finally from the Staffordshire entry with probably another "nul points", number 5 has to be B10.
Thanks Ralph, thanks Spot for all your time and effort - this is one of the board's best features.

No, THANK YOU. May not be the best, but it certainly doesn't breach the political, religious, race and Covid protocols
And people are nice to each other

In the event of a Draw, or a Tie in the Michael Duff, there will be a sudden play-off game.
Hopefully, we won't need it but you have to plan ahead
