OT - What are you doing now? (2026)

2025 was a wild whirlwind with so many highs and lows.  I’m currently having a party with an amazing group of friends I met in 2025.  We are looking forward to 2026!!  Hope everyone has an amazing year and look forward to seeing what everyone is up too!


I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    Better to be lucky than good in 2026 and beyond! If you have a choice, take lucky every time!
    Great setting right there.  You are living the "better to be lucky than good" lifestyle.
    I am celebrating the closure of quite a year. A few challenges out there but nothing compared to the audibles that came thru in 2025.
    Happy New Year to all!🎇🍾🥂

    OK I missed a few over Christmas, but I was in the foothills of the Pyrenees. Did you do better or worse on your own?   There’s been matches most days and Arsenal now sit four pints clear at the top, inlacing a big win against the in-form Aston Villa. Liverpool have snuck back in to the top 4.  Elsewhere, Wolves got a point and Chelsea have sacked their manager. 

    Saturday 

    Villa vs Forest - turns out Villa can lose after all but a visit from the hapless Forest will abate any performance anxiety.  3-0 

    Wolves vs West Ham - a point, a point I tell you.  That’s a 50% boost to the running total for the astonishingly poor Wolves after holding Man Utd.  The Hammers are very far from certain in their endeavours and perhaps the unimaginable could happen,   a win for the Old Gold. 1-0

    Brighton vs Burnley - The Filthies are 14th which seems a bit low, but then again 9 points covers 16th to 5th place int he table.  There point heading their way here though as the Clarets just aren’t all that this season. 2-1.

    Bournemouth vs Arsenal - The Cherries have collapsed in resolute style and languish in 15th - despite being hailed as a modern marvel after 8 games. The Gunners look like they have the PL in the bag this year already. 0-2

    Sunday

    Leeds vs Man Utd - looking uncomfortable in 5th Utd still have issues and won’t relish their trip over the Pennines to old foes Dirty Leeds.  The hosts are in great form and will not fear this contest. 2-1

    Everton vs Brentford - hidden in plain view this is 8th v 9th and 1-1 feels about all the money. 

    Fulham vs Liverpool - both run reliable form if not spectacular, the Reds have recovered to a more lofty position and the Cottagers stabilised in mid-table. A fatigue spawned draw on the cards here too, 1-1.

    Newcastle vs Palace - The Toon remain 13th and there mist be a reason for half a season’s worth of not quite hitting the mark. Very capable on their day bit seem to lack the underlying confidence to press on.   The mighty Eagle are running on fumes and a draw would be epic. 2-0

    Spurs vs Sunderland - the Maccems are passing all tests with flying colours and the ghost of Spurs past still lurks, instilling a proper dose of Spursyness at all opportunities. Going to be tight and with away-win the slight favourite 1-2

    Man City vs Chelsea - only three places apart but a gulf-like 11 points shows the difference between talent and consistency. Newly manager-less Chelsea probably would not expect much from this game anyway, so pulling the trigger now makes sense.  Could be a fun watch, 3-1.

     There’s your first for 26 and only 18 more to go - but then you’ve got the World Cup, so strap in lads.
