So sad Pete should rename his prediction league "The chicken prediction league" in his honour

Sleep well Chick you deserve it. X
So sorry to hear about chicken. It is so hard to lose a pet. They are one of the family.
I have followed your posts since the first one. In that time getting to know Chicken. I must say tears fell from my eyes on reading of his passing. I must be a bit of a Jesse too !!!!!
Hi Rob, just catching up on the zone and so so sorry to hear of dear Chick's passing, sending you and Mrs Rob lots of hugs. As a cat mum to many, I know how much it hurts to lose them, and Chick was such a special boy to you all and to his friends on the zone, we will miss him very much. I reckon he will make sure he is watching Blues from above this season to help with his super cat powers, and to make sure that Shooey does a good job and follows in his very special paw prints xx
On returning to the Zone in readiness for the new season, I was saddened to read of Chicken's passing. As a fellow pet-owner and as one who also blubs every time one passes away, I know how you are feeling right now. At least 4 pages of tributes on a football supporters' site is a distinction almost certainly unique in the pet world, and shows how many followed his exploits during recent seasons. Not a bad epitaph!
RIP Chicken.
Hi Rob, I hope Shooey The Wonder Cat is up for the start of the season next Saturday. Please make sure his training regime is not too overwhelming for him. We need him firing on all cylinders.
I will be thinking of Chicken as I tune into iFollow next weekend.
I hope we are a 'Shoe in' for promotion this season. COYBB
Ah this is really sad news - sympathy to you and your family. I always thoroughly enjoyed reports of Chicken's antics, and threads like this are part of the diversity and value of the zone. Hopefully, in time,(ideally by next Saturday) Shooey may feel up to picking up the mantle! Chicken's fame has certainly spread - a pic of him even popped up on my FB feed courtesy of a travelling troubadour (although I don't think that was football related). All the best.
If he wants to take this on, it will be a big step up for Shooey and there will be a lot of scrutiny on him. Let's not put too much pressure on him as he finds his paws. He probably won't be purrfect right from the start. I don't think any of us can say that we mew what we were doing right from day one when we got our first jobs. So please let's support Shooey and be there fur him as he figures it out.
Good points, Cultist. Thinking back now though, and also looking back at some of the posts in this thread, one could easily see "Shooe" - as I affectionately call him - almost acting in the role as Chick's Assistant on match days. It is a tough ask and there's no doubt about that but I would not be at all surprised if come Saturday, I see that Shooe is actually well up for it. Now, don't be shy, Shooe …
Is he trying to say we will play a blinder on Saturday? Sorry about that! COYBB
