Time Wasting

At least another month (probably longer) before we get any more football πŸ˜•
Hope everyone is well, my corona symptoms came and went (or it might have just been flu?) although I did get through 2 bottles of Cavonia cough medicine for that really annoying persistant dry cough when I usually never touch medicines, and that appears to be classic Corona symptoms?
Wife out of hospital with her non Corona problems, but now on a cocktail of drugs every day.

Anyway lots of time on my hands to catch up on music, films and other less important stuff πŸ˜†
I've now got over 1,300 football songs in the collection (95% pretty awful), when I started this blog there was an intention to post footy related music here, but music sharing was always a problem when I used to do it back in the day because hosting companies were always shutting down or demanding payments, and the ever present threat of having the blog shutdown because somebody didn't want me to share a song that hardly anyone bought when it was in the shops?
Also there are a few blogs/websites that do a nice collection already, see 45 Football and Football and Music .

Actually sat and watched the 1966 World Cup Final again, hadn't seen it in a lot of years 😁
One thought at the end was considering the fuss over our third goal which was probably justified as I reckon current goal line technology would have ruled it out, nobody seems to mention that West Germany's last minute equaliser in normal time was offside? considering the offside rule was a lot simpler back then with no first phase, second phase, was the player interfering etc.
The linesman was clearly flagging but nothing was made of it?


Everybody stay well, will most likely be back with something to fill my day and keep this blog ticking over in the next week πŸ˜ƒ

Stir Crazy

At least another 6 weeks without football to take our minds of all the doom and gloom.
Might have to start all that decorating I've been putting off for years.

Virus

Well I guess we're on hold for the forseeable future?
Officialy games will restart on the 4th April but I guess that is unlikely.
The 2020 Euros and Copa America have been put back to next year, so possibly the season could be extended into June or July if and when it restarts.
Although as I'm leading the predictions table I would be happy if they cancelled the rest of the season πŸ˜†
Stay safe everyone.

Premier Predictions (Week 30)

10 games scheduled for this week, 7 on Saturday, 2 on Sunday and one Monday.
I'm guessing this could be subject to change due to the Pandemic, with Arsenal players "self isolating" and Wolves and Man U flying into Europe today?
If the games happen it's mostly about the relegation battles, Norwich getting into the "must win" stage of the season, Bournemouth, Brighton and West Ham need to take 3 points from Winnable home games, and tough games for Villa and Watford.
Near the top another Mourinho derby looks like an easy win for Man U with Tottenham falling apart, and Monday is the scouse derby which if Everton play like they did last week will give "super Adrian" a break from facing shots 🀩

I'm quite liking a few comments from managers this week that health is more important, and the league should be scrapped this season and replayed when the crisis is over, obviously Liverpool supporters disagree hahaha 😁

Watford v Leicester
Bournemouth v Crystal Palace
Brighton v Arsenal
Man City v Burnley
Newcastle v Sheff Utd
Norwich v Southampton
Aston Villa v Chelsea
West Ham v Wolves
Tottenham v Man Utd
Everton v Liverpool

Good Luck All  πŸ˜€

Bonus game this week, 11 matches in all.

Tough week for the teams fighting relegation with the bottom 7 all away from home.
If Liverpool drop points to Bournemouth they really are having a wobble :)

Liverpool v Bournemouth

Sheff Utd v Norwich
Southampton v Newcastle
Wolves v Brighton
Burnley v Tottenham
Chelsea v Everton
Man Utd v Man City
Leicester v Aston Villa
Man City v Arsenal

Good Luck All  πŸ˜ƒ
