@alaskanassasin so good to see someone challenge the forum Illuminati that are ruining this forum for people like me that don’t have BGEs.  It just makes me sad that you’ll be cashing in on your wheat harvest because of Biden.  Did you happen to plant it before he was sworn in?  Or did you take delivery of the seed before then?  Help me out here.

Yep.  Looking forward to this.  My freshman year was his first year there.  He came around to every dorm to tell all of us how important we are because we're part of the team.  I got a chance to spend some time with him (in a group of 30) on Zoom last summer because a good friend of mine donates some money to the Emily K Center.  He's a remarkable man.

A few of my college dorm mates are there this weekend for the game and were texting pics of our old dorm last night.

Howdy footie fans,  we’re inching towards denouement.  Last weekend’s results did little to upset the orthodoxy and - plot spoiler, I doubt this weekend’s fixtures suggest much tumult either. 

Saturday;

Leicester v Leeds, notable because the visitors hit eject on their Bielsa-ball experiment and have welcomed new manager Jesse Marsch.  He’s from the US of A and so you’ll undoubtedly  know him from school or around the village pump.  Don’t see much change in fortunes though with the hit and miss Foxes keeping all three points. 2-0

Aston Villa v Southampton, a game lacking much purpose or merit - is not what the trailers say on TV, but let’s be honest it barely registers.  Villa need a few more points across 13 games to be safe and Saints more for less are already.  One point and one goal each, 1-1.

Burnley v Chelsea, not sure who’s had the worse week.  The hosts lost momentum with a chastening defeat to keep them in the mire,  the visitors are subject to a sanction busting fire sale.  Quality prevails, 0-1

Newcastle v Brighton, the Filthy Seagulls being on a losing run should cheer me but the rise of Toon has slaked that.  Home win and clean sheet as the visitors have forgotten why there is a net hanging off the goal frame. 2-0

Norwich v Brentford, must win for both teams but I think the Canaries have the form to take this.  Ultimately it might be in vain for them but keeping the Bees in the relegation vortex will offer some hope of escape. 1-0

Wolves v Palace, despite back to back defeats the hosts are just too well drilled for Palace to break down,  we need open and expansive opposition to deploy our talents.  Wolves simply won’t oblige.  We’ll do well to draw 0-0 but I see a 0-1 as inevitable. 

Liverpool v West Ham, the Reds are in hot form and the Hammers, whilst buoyed by strong results earlier in the season, are feeling the pressure.  Big Jurgy has his eyes on the big prize again and winning this is the fillip his team and supporters need in order to believe. 2-0

Stoke v Blackpool, the Potters came a close second against Palace in a moribund, water logged FA cup match this week.  With dreams of Wembley gone it’s just mid-table respectability left on the menu.  A form reversing win is within grasp, 2-1.

Sunday;

Watford v Arsenal,  desperate times for the Hornets (Yay!) and I don’t see this as anything more than an exercise in patience for the Gunners to ease to victory.  Roy has tightened Watford’s defence but his contained style and having little in attacking talent make for a gloomy portent. 0-3

City v Utd , the Manchester derby. Maybe the heightened atmosphere will energise the Red half and force together a semblance of cohesion - probably won’t.  The big game players will step up for them but City are just better. 2-1

Monday;

Spurs v Everton, battle of the weird.  Spurs are being very Spursy at the moment.  Neither Arthur nor Martha.  Super Frank’s Toffees are all at sea as well.   Their habitual 7th place is way out of reach and so you must prepare for birds to fly backwards and beasts run from the forest.  By coincidence Spurs are 7th.  Fun fact there.  Lots of huff, puff, missed passes and anxiety. 1-0 but other results keep Everton out out the drop zone. 

In more exciting news,  lump is going on the Egg later for smash burgers tonight in parallel with a bulk cook of bacon and sausages.  Therefore, I win. 

As usual, your prognostications are perfect.  Please keep them coming on a weekly basis.  I can only hope that I'll be able to retire before this season ends based on your insider information leading to continued large sums of gambling income.
