Hmmmmm! To misquote Smokey Robinson, “The Ideas of a Clown.” Charlie knows!
This from another thread on Saturmorn:

I never take owt for granted, we should win no doubt, but by how many,that's another question, when Leigh are expected to turn in a cricket score, it never happens.We do need the points difference making up,but a win first,then try to score the points.
Sagacity is the word that springs to mind. This guy is no clown. Two BIG points in the bag, not enough LESSER ones (or rather, too many for ‘Dale – their joint highest score all season). We could have done with a margin like that of Doncaster today. Wanderer’s no doubt chuffed (if perchance bored). Is that Donny’s first ever ton-up?
Speaking of Rochdale, given the town’s relatively recent bad national press regarding an omni-pastry ingesting (Diggory Compton would have made a packet
) fart barstad by the name of Smith (no not Lee but one ‘lately’ going by the moniker of Cyril – the way too overly liberal, too long-serving MP for said town) and a certain league of less than gentlemen of a somewhat different ethnic extraction, Bongser found it somewhere between curious and disturbing to hear the players running out to the strains of a Gary Glitter song. What the proverbial??!! Bongser’s eyebrow raised itself higher than either Ser Jorah or Paul Gadd could possibly manage, nearly mingling with his hairline – and that is as distant as the sea at Southport!
To RL!
Every poster nailed a win for Leigh. All posters named a Leigh scorer but no one nominated Larroyer who scored first. Nearly a wipe-out on the first ‘Dale scorer as well but The Publican (Pubbers to you) continued his amazing recent form by going for Rob Massam. Yet another 5 points to him. Bongser will have four and a half quarts of what he’s pulling – as long as it’s beer!!
Not surprisingly, all eight remainers went for a Tranny win but westleighjim distinguished himself by calling the correct margin of 46. Further three to him.
So as the birds harbingered Sunday’s aurora, Pubbers was making a break, closely pursued by WLJ and then a patient peloton.
It had been a game of two halves up at Spotland and so it proved to be in the WPL. Pubbers crashed and burned with ‘Fax losing, WLJ likewise with a Sheffield triumph. Van the Man followed both of them down those errant paths.
VL (good evening, hope you are well), you are bringing a whole new meaning to the term “post haste”!
No further correct margins and zero exact scores but (Ω d!) five Pokemons (Pokemen?) 33 points apiece and 25 extras in WWB’s. FIVE times 58! That, btw, is not a question.
Standings (everyone left it so late posting their preds last week, Bongser thought that these were going to be “Last Man Standings): Back on top
Atomic on 645
Charles on 627
Pubbers 606

Sharp end coming up.
