Ground beef, stewed tomatoes, whatever canned beans you have in the pantry, canned corn, some seasoning, and if feeling frisky a can of diced green chilis and tomatoes, and random spices.

You, Sir, are Not Right.

Brunswick Chili?

We occasionally like corn in our chili too.

Hitting it’s stride or regressing to the mean - you decide, but as we reach game week 10 the truth about each team is emerging. Man Utd, languishing in 14th finally lost patience with Erik and we await confirmation of his successor. A rapid sequence of victories could see them back where they think they belong, but…. Of the remaining anomalies Newcastle and West Ham in 12th and 13th, only Eddie at the Toon will be feeling the heat. Three defeats in the last five is not an acceptable return for the all the petro-pounds poured in.

Saturday

Newcastle v Arsenal - form says away win, and the Gunners have slipped to four points behind Liverpool in 2nd. Big statement win if they can do it. Toon are not in good shape, but it would be foolish to assume this will be simple or straight forward. 0-1

Bournemouth v Man City - undefeated Citeh head to the Cherries and ought to take all three with minimum fuss. But injuries are piling up and their hosts won’t be for rolling over and being tickled. 1-2

Ipswich v Leicester - highlighted fixture on the wall calendar since day 1 for the Tractors Boys, and they are still seeking their first win. While the Foxes aren’t convincing they have that extra percentage point of guile, which is why they are well clear of the relation fight presently. Big, big match for both. It’ll be 1-1 until the very very end and then a heart wrenching goal seals it for the Foxes. 1-2

Liverpool v Brighton,- the Red army are in menacing form and the draw at Arsenal last week should be seen as evidence that they are very strong contenders for the title. As popular as the filthy’s are with the media, form speaks loudest 2-0

Forest v West Ham - a quirk of this season is that these two teams are, to quote Maverick “inverted”, albeit lacking the sexual tension. I assume. Quite how the season has panned out this way for each is a mystery, and that matters not at all. 2-1

Southampton v Everton - five unbeaten for the Toffees means the Dyche effect is pumping out at 11. Saints are really struggling. A dramatic stylistic shift to obdurate pragmatism is called for, but they have committed to playing with flair and elan. Sunk by Christmas. 0-1

Wolves v Palace, finally a win albeit against the Spursy-est of Spurs and then another mid-week. Could the tide have turned for the mighty Eagles and they now surge to about mid-table? Maybe, but not certain. Wolves have been worse than Palace, which is small sample group - but a last minute equaliser against the fetid Seagulls could be the fillip they need. Tough match. 1-1

Sunday

Spurs v Villa, Spursy Spurs caveat applies, naturally. The Villans have held a high standard across the PL and CL so far and having fielded a second string against Palace mid-week, shouldn’t fear this match at all. But it’s Spurs. Could 3-0 or 0-3. My bet is several goals shared and Villa to sneak it. 2-3

Man Utd v Chelsea, the 8th re-spawn of manager since Sir Alex left is looming and the Old Trafford colossus have never really been convincing in the aftermath. Peculiar ownership has degraded almost all aspects of the club, yet they are still big big players. The Chels’ are emerging from several odd seasons and somehow a decent team is playing well this time out. 1-2

Monday

Fulham v Brentford, west end boys play the west end boys - nether of whom emanate from Sierra Leone, just to be clear. The Bees tend to win or lose, which the Cottagers have an equal split of all three outcomes so far. So what? 1-1, that’s what.

So, there’s that. Anything else going on with you guys this week coming up?

Brilliant as always. My better half is leaving town today so I should get plenty of football viewing this weekend - although I'm working all night tonight and will miss the early Saturday games. The Sunday matches should be good for some goals and excitement.

SWMBO absent, save the list of tasks. Will you attend to those first, or in the last 30 minutes before she's back?

You're working tonight?!? I am very proudly of the single 3 o'clock in a work pattern club now.

I will be glad when this circus packs up and leaves town.

As a child 4 years seemed like an eternity. 4 years isn’t long enough now, and 2 years is a joke. We are just in a perpetual state of chaos. Not really doing much to promote democracy across the world with how we do it here.
