Moral dilemma time! Do I copy boris's prediction to ensure he can't beat me and thus secure the boot, or do I forget boris and just go with my prediction? But what if I choose the same prediction as boris independantly? Oh well here goes:

Win

Altrincham
Farsley
Droylsden
Stafford

(a) Boot rule 37 sub-clause 47c, I suspect, specifies that, in the event of two identical correct predictions, the first poster gets the win ...

(b) surely one loses a point for misspelling &quotindependently&quot?

And by the same token, the first four posters should be automatically disqualified for misspelling Droylsden.

I hadn't realised there was quite so much riding on this game. &quotMeaningless&quot my arse!

Moral dilemma time! Do I copy Mally's prediction to ensure he can't get the whole point he needs to secure the boot, or do I go with what I think it will be until his underhand injury time 'persuasion techniques' are implemented in the hope that his bungs are discovered, or do I just forget the cheating get and go with my own prediction?

Far be it from me to sink to his level, so I shall go my own way with my pride intact:
Lose
