Fauci’s first pitch at the Nat’s game - “Trying to socially distance from home plate.”

Saw that - we were dying here.

Seem like Anthony handles throwing a first pitch about as well as he handles the National response to a global pandemic.

Come on Florida.  Take it elsewhere.

Watching a show on History called: The Butcher

It is a competition where 4 butchers compete by breaking down whole animals for maximum retail cuts, a competition where they need to eyeball weight, then a final where they break down a weird game animal.  It is pretty interesting to watch.

Lets us crash through finishing line together, sink the putt on the 18th and put the snuffer atop the chimney of the 2019/20 PL season.  

Final round and three teams are fighting to avoid 2 relegation spots and the CL / European spots to be nailed down.   Some excitement then, but not a lot.  Al the game start at the same time - Sunday at 4pm.    Then the transfer window opens on Monday (woo-hoo!)

Arsenal v Watford : training ground neighbours meet with very different agendas.  The wretched Hornets are in disarray and all is gloomy.  Arsenal can’t be trusted an inch.   2-1 Gunners and cheerios to Elton’s lads.

Burnley v Brighton : zero purpose or interest. 2-0

Chelsea v Wolves : Super Franks men can secure CL with a point, Nuno’s can achieve European football with a win.  Conflict there but I think the blue see this home.  3-2

Palace v Spurs : Spurs have fallen on their feet because the need a win to get to Europe and Palace will comfortably oblige.  0-2.

Everton v Bournemouth : The Cherries have to win to stand any chance of avoiding the drop.  They wont on both counts.  1-1.

Leicester v Man Utd :  Ole’s men have all but secured CL football, Brendan and his gorgeous teeth have lost momentum.  If the screaming scrotum bags a hat-trick and so does Greenwood, or better still Martial - then I don’t care about the outcome because my FF team could accumulate the same points as last year.   And just for @Foghorn Jamie Vardy is way older than you think - Google ‘Albert Steptoe’   Hoping for 5-6,  likely 1-2. 

Man City v Norwich :  Could be a total shellacking, might be meh.  Hedging my bets with a routine 3-0.

Newcastle v Liverpool : no-one cares 0-2.

Southampton v Sheff Utd : as above 1-1.

West Ham v Aston Villa : Villa’s Hollywood ending,  they can and might well stay up.  The Hammers are on the beach and wont be remotely bothered either way.   Grealish et al have it all to play for.   Skinny 0-1 and the filthy Hornets are down. Yay!

So, to the slender minority of Eggers that read this - farewell for about 40 days.  Stay strong and together we’ll pull through.   

But light is on the horizon as County Cricket re-emerges on 1st August - the gentlest form of competitive sport; wooly jumpers, 2 meal breaks per day, 4 days of awkwardness while 22 men try hard not to be better than each other, and, of course certainly no play in the rain or gloom.  Lovely.

Let's Go Bournemouth.    Werder Bremen had a similarly dreadful look at relegation in the Bundesliga and miraculously avoided.   Now it's the Cherries turn.  Bournemouth takes it 3-1

@CPFC1905, thanks for that. It’s almost worth it that you signed off the Zoom meeting early last night to write it. Almost. I wish I had the confidence in Man U that you do. But I don’t. I’m thinking they’ll tie Leicester 1-1 in a boring affair. I’m hoping for the 4-4 draw we discussed for the sake of you fantasy team, but I just don’t see it happening. I am also thinking that Man City are over their “we’re second but we want to show people how prolific we are before the season ends” period. They’ll probably be hung over as they see the end of the season and some rest in sight. I’m thinking 1-0.

Damned by faint praise, again.....

Man City's next match is home to Real Madrid on 7th August and Pep will really want that one.   That's far enough away to not rate the squad and he will want to keep the momentum up.   Might be a Harlem Globetrotters game of two halves, 5-0 up by the turn around and then bring the kids on, for Norwich?

You Googled Steptoe, right?

@CPFC1905 will you post Champions League predication once that gets going again?

Can we get @Eoin to talk some Stoke City goings on?

Ok, but only because I am a big massive show-off and love the attention.

As opposed to 'lump-chat'? 
I think you should add weekly instalments of the Stoke history.

Every other month or so I make an artery clogging breakfast, so good though.

Wondering how I just made it to 60 today.

Yes, @CPFC1905 I had to google Albert Steptoe - but you're right.  I've always suspected he played in the lower divisions for a couple of decades before Leicester made it to the top flight.

About to head out to a buddies house for a day/evening of adults only. We're kid free, but the 4 other couples have kids and it's been a lengthy, coordinated effort for them to ditch their kids at the grandparents and get some adult time.
He just got an XL so I'll head out early and ”help”. That really just means start drinking 🍻
Happy Saturday!

@Gulfcoastguy - congrats on the successful completion of another lap of the sun.  Happy Birthday!  Enjoy as the road ahead is a bit more unpredictable

Not egged, but very good on a hot day:
2 ripe tomatoes, diced
1 avocado, diced
2 spring onions, thinly-sliced
1 tsp salt
Lime juice
1 cup pre-cooked shrimp
V-8 juice to cover
Chill until ice-cold 
 

 
I squeezed half a lime into it, that was too much, will use just a spritz next time.  Kind've a cross between a ceviché and a gazpacho.  Yum.
