Apologies, as Full Time doesn't seem to be working so not sure if there are any other matches today. Further apologies, as I'm not actually going to make a prediction! Santos v Woodies Definately a tough game for us tonight. Santos will be welcoming back a few players who didn't face us in our 3-0 win on Good Friday. Guess they'll also be hoping to keep 11 men on the pitch for 90 mins, which would give the game a different dynamic. They're obviously not on a great run (don't think they've lost five in a row since they had that joke of a manager a couple of seasons ago!) but suggestions are that there were big improvements against a strong BSXI and that they'll be stronger again tonight. On top of that, the last match was a bit niggly at times and they'll be hungry to try and set the record straight. From our perspective, the last couple of games have seen us play some better football and also show some really good spirit. Coming back from two down at hal;f time against Baps was great, firstly because we did it and secondly because I don't think many of us doubted at half time that we would do it. Probably worth mentioning that I think a win would give us the league (can't double check on full time but I'm fairly certain) and if any of us need any more motivation than that then there'd be a problem. Andy missed the last game against Santos and he's always given them a few problems, so he'll be able to ask some different questions of them as well. In addition, his discovery that he's actually right footed has really given him a new lease of life! Gutted for our fans across Europe who aren't able to make the game due to the volcanic ash cloud. Seems like we have to deal with this every flippin' season. Don't understand why Ben and the rest of the BCFA bigwigs can't actually sort this problem out once and for all. I've been saying for years that we should try and ensure that we have a volcanic eruption in Northern Europe in September at the beginning of the season and then we wouldn't have to deal with all of this hassle during the run-in. We've already had to make provisional arrangements to travel to Little Stoke by car on Saturday - obviously we'll grit our teeth and get on with it, but it isn't ideal and if Ben had actually listened to what I've been saying about volcanoes every year then it could have been easily avoided. Anyway, my prediction: Swift half at the Sportsman, win or lose.

My prediction is a narrow Woodies win, given a bit of gloss by a late goal from Davo against his former team. 3-1. Love your last paragraph Dave.  Only BCFA team to beat BSXI 4 times since 12th December 2009.....

Cheers Nath, but my record against Santos suggests that's quite optimistic. Come to think of it, my record this year suggests that its wildly optimistic. Will be doing my best to address this problem tonight. Ieu is looking particularly sharp at the mo and it would appear the BnP are back to their vintage best so its understandably difficult to get on the pitch! Actually had a good nights sleep last night after a week of chickenpox (Daisy, not me!) and very little sleep, so fingers crossed I'll manage to take a chance if it comes my way.

Can't see anything but a Woodies win tonight considering Santo's form. And a comfortable title win, who would have predicted that... Top of the league

But Dan, I'm sure that's what you were predicting from the beginning of the season...
