Happy New Year All 🍷 🍺 🍾 ❄ ⛄
Crazy Christmas period continues with another double week
2 game weeks with fixtures from 3rd to 8th January 2026, before the FA Cup starts again on Friday 9th January.
Week 20 - (4 games Saturday 3rd January, 6 games Sunday 4th January)
A vital week for West Ham which I'm dreading, Wolves have their best chance of a first win having already beaten us in the League Cup this season and they are starting to improve.

A vital week for West Ham which I'm dreading, Wolves have their best chance of a first win having already beaten us in the League Cup this season and they are starting to improve.
Arsenal will stay top whatever as they go to misfiring Bournemouth who might be without star player Semenyo? Man City take on managerless Chelsea.
Elsewhere Leeds v Man Utd is usually spicy.
Aston Villa v Nottm Forest
Brighton v Burnley
Wolves v West Ham
Bournemouth v Arsenal
Leeds v Man Utd
Everton v Brentford
Fulham v Liverpool
Newcastle v Crystal Palace
Tottenham v Sunderland
Man City v Chelsea
=============================================
Week 21 - (1 game Tuesday 6th, 8 games Wednesday 7th, 1 on Thursday 8th)
Aston Villa v Nottm Forest
Brighton v Burnley
Wolves v West Ham
Bournemouth v Arsenal
Leeds v Man Utd
Everton v Brentford
Fulham v Liverpool
Newcastle v Crystal Palace
Tottenham v Sunderland
Man City v Chelsea
=============================================
Week 21 - (1 game Tuesday 6th, 8 games Wednesday 7th, 1 on Thursday 8th)
The Tuesday game is vital at the bottom whatever happened on the previous Saturday, can West Ham figure a way to get the game switched to the City ground?
West London derby on Wednesday, will Chelsea have a manager by then?
Thursday should be the big game, but only if Liverpool can remember what they can do. Maybe get Darwin Nunez back on loan, he had his critics but at least he always looked like he tried.
West Ham v Nottm Forest
Bournemouth v Tottenham
Brentford v Sunderland
Crystal Palace v Aston Villa
Everton v Wolves
Fulham v Chelsea
Man City v Brighton
Burnley v Man Utd
Newcastle v Leeds
Arsenal v Liverpool
Good Luck All 😀
Mid season info table, it makes sense to me 😆

Going down with a whimper
ReplyDeleteWell I expected that to happen, but always have this little bit of hope and also hate predicting us to lose.
ReplyDeleteNo shots on target, new striker left on the bench.
Guess the relegation places are nearly settled.
Villa trying to do us a favour by beating Forest, Brighton beat Burnley and Arsenal have a bit of a scare against Bournemouth.

Chris Sutton's guest for week 21 is Tony McGuinness of the group Above and Beyond.
ReplyDeleteI would say I'd never heard of them like most of Sutton's guests, but it appears I have some of their songs on Trance compilations from back in 2007 which is why I'd forgotten.

Been watching AFCON
Always thought Morocco was a dry country all sand and camels :)
I think every game I've seen it's been pouring with rain?
Good points
Excellent stadiums, decent standard of play, not as much play acting, Referee's have been good.
Mali's "Mr T" inspired shirts :)
Bad points
VAR has been awful, getting involved in nearly every goal and really slow also a few dubious decisions mainly for Egypt.
Half empty stadiums at many games
My predicting skills shown up by my FPL team, left Thiago out for the first time this week and he scored a hat-trick.
ReplyDeleteHaaland only seems to score in weeks I don't make him captain :(
So hoping to be totally wrong with my first prediction?

A Ref+VAR assisted 2-1 win for Forest, maybe we should wear an all red kit?
ReplyDeleteA few bright moments but the usual result :(
Week 21 Day 1 Scores (1 game)
Lee 1, Paul 1, Paulo 0, (Sutton 1, Tony 1, BBC-AI 0, Model 0)
Bournemouth beat Tottenham, late winner by Semenyo in probably his last game for them.
ReplyDeleteBrentford who should have struggled this season win again, Thiago on fire, comedy penalty miss by Sunderland.
Villa held by Palace 0-0
9 man Everton held at home to Wolves, Keane off for pulling hair, Grealish off for clapping the ref? wonderkid Mane scoring again.
Fulham beat 10 man Chelsea, Cucaracha sent off.
Man City doing Arsenal another favour drawing at home to Brighton.
Draw for Man Utd at Burnley, Sesko remembering where the goal is.
Newcastle win a 7 goal thriller over Leeds with a 103rd minute goal.
Week 21 Day 2 Scores (9 games)
Paulo 6, Lee 5, Paul 4, (Sutton 4, Tony 7, BBC-AI 5, Model 2)
Not many points this week, Paulo in the lead but still all to play for.
Wow, football has gone crazy. Looks like the "Just turn up this one time" guests seem to have the knack during the prediction chaos :)
ReplyDeleteLet me see your other 20 weeks predictions, then we can talk... (In clougheys voice)
ReplyDeleteI look at the scores and think I've had a good week, sure I'd gone for 1-1 at Everton and a Fulham win but then check here and realise I didn't :(
ReplyDeleteA fairly dull 0-0 to finish with a few spiky moments, possible Oscar nomination for Frimpong?
ReplyDeleteWeek 21 Final Scores (10 games)
Paulo 6, Lee 5, Paul 4, (Sutton 4, Tony 7, BBC-AI 6, Model 2)
Overall a win for BBC Guest Tony with just 7 points
Our winner Paulo , like buses two in a row :) just 6 points, but better than Me and Paul
Congrats Paulo :)
FA Cup this weekend, League Cup next week + AFCON
Premier League back on the 17th
