Don't worry Duckie, I'm back in the UK and have Internet access, so no more PMing Uncle Rico for me.
Sorry for the confusion, hope you've recovered from it now. That said, it looks like I'll be scoring very similar this week to if I hadn't sent the PM to Uncle Rico in the first place !

Good Friday? BAD ATTITUDE!!! Probably one of THE most annoying inept performances we've seen in a long time, the whole team should be made to lick the road clean with their tongues and get paid fourpence every six years

That's a bit more like it we'd have to presume that Price's 'trained well all week' message came with a bit of a threat rather than a shrug of a shoulder? Who came out top I hear you ask well it's AC Wire which is quite apt as we are currently blowing hot and cold depending on your view of what AC stands for? The rest of us need a bit more prediction conditioning as follows,
24pts AC Wire 13pts CW8 11pts karetaker 10pts MorePlaymakersNeeded, King Ross11 9pts Longbarn Wire, Vespid Wire 8pts rubber duckie 7pts Moving Forward, Old Man John, Fourpointtry, matt6169 6pts Wire Weaver,Wire n Steel, Matt King's kitten, Gaz3376, Johnkendal, Walter Wizard, Uncle Rico, eddieH, Hicks is a God, mcraven, Bent & Bongser, Wanderer 5pts Sir Adrian Morley, Rugby 4pts Fatbelly, Builth Wells Wire

Hi Uncle Rico, I'm new to the comp this year. Are there any points for getting the winner of the Wire game correct?
Hi welcome to the comp mcraven, the points scoring system is a sticky at the top of the home page but yes you get 2pts for predicting the correct winner in our game, 4pts if you predict the correct margin and 8pts if you predict the correct score.
Your six points like a few others this week was based on two from our game 'just' a win and one point from four of the other fixtures

A strange game prompting some debate on here style over substance/quantity versus quality. All valid by way and I suppose we should be grateful we weren't at the Wigan Cas game?
Moving on, our winner this week with 14 points is Walter our very own wizard absolutely magic. The rest of us were a bit like Huddersfield's second half 'spell' not good enough by vary degrees as follows,
