Alright, alright, I can hear what everyone is thinking already. 'There aren't many games to choose from this week', some will be saying. And as you read down the list, it gets worse when you find one of the Guest Fixtures is Weymouth v Aveley. How many people could get in their car and drive to Aveley's ground without using the SatNav? However, think of me. It's a lonely job setting the fixtures each week, but running the Prediction League is not a popularity contest but a job that must be done. But my weird sense of humour spills out for the last game on the list; I couldn't resist putting the Genk v Gent game on as a Guest Fixture. I've even been trying to think of a game that could take place in England where one letter differentiates the two teams playing each other. Wroxham could play Wrexham in the FA Cup, while Southampton v Northampton only have the first and third letters different. Anyway, this diversion about teams with similar names is to stop everyone moaning about the lack of choice this week. At the end of the day, it's the same for everyone. And don't worry, when I choose my predictions, as I always do on Friday, I'll hate the idiot who chose these games, too. As usual, pick your preferred three games and good luck.
