Our former loanee George Abbott has gone to Mansfield on loan for the rest of the season. I would have loved to see him back, but to be honest he'd be wasted in League Two. Got to admit I'm envious.

Good day everyone and get well soon @Michael D Pie.! As we have a high share of pensioners here I felt moved to post this. I know you have more hours to fill and probably miss the routine of working life. Volunteer for a charity. Post stuff here on PON. But do not, I repeat do not, establish a counterfeit drugs empire like this man. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/jan/29/wigan-lottery-winner-counterfeit-drugs-empire-court

The results: Portsmouth 3-0 West Bromwich Albion Watford 0-2 Swansea City Peterborough United 2-3 Huddersfield Town Stockport County 2-1 Plymouth Argyle Chesterfield 2-2 Walsall Crewe Alexandra 1-0 Colchester United Braintree Town 2-1 Eastleigh Sutton United 1-1 Brackley Town This week, @Garry Lee, @super_ram and @william1984 all share the glory of first place. Not a high-scoring round this time (many of you wasted your jokers on Watford), but no one went away empty-handed. We have change at the top! @super_ram moves past @magpiejue and @Dan to seize top spot. But we all know I'm going to win in the end. And there it is, the first round ever to be calculated on my new laptop using the miracle that is Microsoft Excel 2024. But time marches on relentlessly; as such, our next round is on Saturday and will be posted on Wednesday. Have a good week everyone and take care.

A good, hard-earned win against an average side. Really pleased with how we're shaping up, and our options on the bench give us genuine depth. MP will have a bit of a headache once some of our new signings are ready to play. Ndlovu had a genuine impact and showed he's a real team player by squaring to Dennis for the winner when he could have scored himself. It took me an embarrassingly long time to work out that the commentator wasn't saying "Liam Love" though! And another assist for that new number 10 who reminds me of Jodi Jones in his prime! PS: we are staying up!

Sounds like you had a scare @Piethagoram, hope you're doing OK now.

Eight more fixtures, all at our traditional kick-off time of 3pm. And as Batman probably once said, "remember the Joker". Good luck!

The results: Huddersfield Town 1-0 Luton Town Lincoln City 3-0 Bradford City Plymouth Argyle 1-1 Mansfield Town Rotherham United 2-1 Northampton Town Barnet 1-0 Tranmere Rovers Cheltenham Town P-P Gillingham Colchester United 0-1 Grimsby Town Walsall 0-0 Crawley Town @Megan_Elizax smashed in again in round 29, but Walsall let a few of you down with your jokers... @Dan is now sharing the top spot with @magpiejue, with @super_ram just a point behind. It's anyone's - even I fancy my chances. The next round is this Saturday, so the fixtures will be online in just a jiffy. Thanks for playing!

Terrific performance. How we only scored two will flummox the greatest scientific minds for decades to come, but we did it when it counted. The PiesPlayer camera spent most of the match watching Ian Holloway's back, enabling me to admire his sheepskin jacket / blue beret combo and watch him become more and more frustrated as the match went on. Glorious.

It all sounds very promising. I've looked at his career stats on Transfermarkt, he plays regularly, which tends to be a good sign. He's also only played for two clubs permanently, so he's not one of those players who get a new team every season either. Hopefully he can adapt quickly and help us. According to Transfermarkt he's played in central midfield more often than as an attacking midfielder. In the 38 games he's played as an attacking midfielder, he picked up 11 goals and assists, which is pretty decent. Like @Mapperley Pie says, the Norwegian season ends in November. Harry Tangen hasn't played since September, so he'll be rusty and I wouldn't expect him to be in the first 11 too soon.

It was a snowy night here in Germ land, with about 7 cm of snow falling so I had to get the shovel out this morning. We've since reached the heady heights of 2 degrees. Yesterday we bade Lenny a final farewell on an Anglo-Saxon-style funeral pyre in the garden. It worked very well. I like to think that he's now wandering the kitchen floors of Valhalla, but he'll probably just live on in my lungs. We also have a successor, six-week-old Eddie (when a budgie dies, you replace them quickly to stop the others from pining for them). Mrs Sausage continued her habit of selecting the most gormless budgie possible, so no doubt we'll have lots of fun with him.

Rodders would be the perfect replacement for Rodders, but I can't quite see it. He'll end up at a mid-table team in the Portuguese top flight.

Time for a midweek round with a very League One/Two flavour, which are the only proper divisions anyway. Send in your predictions by 7:45 p.m. on Tuesday and don't forget your joker!

At the end of round 28, @Dan has overtaken @magpiejue to take the lead for the first time. It's looking like a close title race! And that's us for another round. But don't put your crystal balls (or ferrets) away yet - we have another round coming up on Tuesday, so the fixtures are going online now! Thanks for playing and see you on the next thread!
