is the 0.6244098731213477297623 a very short person then?

Surely the 0.6 is NS himself, who, because he believes the weekly rounds are irrelevant, will be paying attention with only 0.6... of his person?

If the friendly is anything to go by, then we should get a comfortable win. Their attack was very ineffectual and was not penetrative enough (that's what she said...) and we broke them down with relative ease. Friendlies are not indicative, usually, of a team's performance, though, and we should be wary in putting too much emphasis on what happened two weeks ago. Hudds have caught a few teams out in the past - as dragged up by the Hudds fans on here, i.e. Wigan.

Having said that though, we should win this game: it's at home, Nathan Brown's first competitive game and the players want to impress. Everything is pointing to a comfortable win. If it was at Hudds then I wouldn't be as confident, but I'd be surprised if we do not win comfortably:

Score: Saints 42-10
MoM: Lomax
Attendance: 13,500

You do realise that a '0' at the end of a decimal doesn't actually make the number's value any different, right? I'm at a bit of an advantage here having a degree in Mathematics I freely admit, but that's just basic 'O' level stuff at the very least...

No "belief" is involved in it at all - the fact that the weekly rounds are irrelevant is precisely that: a fact. Go ask a Leeds fan if you think otherwise.

And FWIW I probably shall only be able to watch approx. 60% of the game as I shall still be sat in my lovely padded seat at Stadium:MK come the (thoroughly inconveniently timed) kickoff. I may be forced to see even less than that if the Mrs. insists on taking the opportunity of doing a weekly shop at Asda while we're there. Ho hum.

Never before have I been so tempted to abuse my power as a mod and just alter every single prediction.


They ran hard at us in attack and defense and we did diddly.

Having an extra 0 on the end of the score evidently does make a difference.
