Note to self: leave your original scores alone. Changed three draws to wins, which all ended in a draw.

Bas Dost now has 41 in 49 for Sporting to add to 31 in 69 for last couple of seasons at Wolfsburg. Might that equate to 20 or so in the Premier League?

Hope you all have a great day in the homeland! And based on previous 'post-match' images (talking bruises not barnets) gan easy on one another (I.e employ 'nee maiming' rule, sadly missing from games I played just up the hill from Felling CC).

Play with the young(er) Anfield imposter's mind... play Shlevey and Merino and Ritchie all pinging high balls through the channels for Mitrovic to chest off to the other two (and others) ghosting in like Wijnaldum at a home game. (... the f***er's going to score isn't he...).

He brings the witch-craft, needs the pitch-craft see what I did there, eh?

he-he that is class.

With the caveat that Rafa, the coaching staff, probably most of the population (including primary schools), know better than me... I really like the look of Aarons. His aggression/desire, will to take a man on, technical skill with the ball, speed. I could go on and often do, but in short he looks like he could/should be a top class player. Surely, this is his year? And given their frailties, this could be his game to prove it.

Huddersfield Town 0-2 Tottenham Bournemouth 1-0 Leicester City Man Utd 3-0 Crystal Palace Stoke 0-1 Southampton West Brom 0-1 Watford West Ham 2-1 Swansea City Chelsea 1-3 Manchester City Arsenal 2-0 Brighton Everton 1-0 Burnley Newcastle 3-2 Liverpool (Supermac nostalgia! Joselu, superstar wears frilly...)

Yep. Definitely a bonus if we pick-up points from some games. But we will do that (all being well/on track for a comfortable season) and hope this is a case in point. Would be such a confidence boost for the chaps to beat a generally acknowledged 'good' team like Liverpool.

doh! I was thinking no call for that/how rude!

Is the right answer everybody?

Looked like he's lost a fair bit of weight when I saw him in West Ham game. Couldn't find better pic.

Thank fuck you didn't follow-up with pork scratching chasers! Hope your head is ok.

I really want to beat Palace. Like irrationally/disproportionately so. In a Bullseye, 'Look what you could have won' kinda way, I am looking forward to showing Andros T the new car and watching him trying to be positive about,and arrange transit for, a f***ing useless Speedboat.

Like fuck.

Undercarriage was too heavy.

Yeah, sadly for my early retirement plans I haven't stumbled upon some infallible secret predictive formula. Point is, if there is indeed any point at all, that this may give a sense of relative difficulty and the total points may average out. Lose some 'greens' win some 'reds' lose or win some ambers but overall if we're on for a low top ten finish, we should accumulate somewhere near those totals for the different months. Ish, kinda, etc.

Did this re relative difficulty thing for the season. Surprisingly, we're on track.

Oh dear... 'Lawrie' Grayson

He is such a Rafa no10. Was gutted not to get him.

5% off the price ticket. Surely anyone with any sense would wait until the %25+ period in the (post) January sales?

WTF! Are we boycotting the West Ham game folks??

Confidence and self-belief are high. Recent history against them is in our favour (and then some). As long as they don't score early I think this is eminently winnable. Can't quite get my head around us winning four in a row (given close season) but putting that aside, Howay the Lads!

I saw him in a garage on Princess Parkway Manchester one morning 7 years ago. I was pushing a double buggy, wild-haired and tired-eyed after pretty much a sleepless night. I'd left a radgy sleep-deprived wife in bed and pushed the kids two miles to get them to sleep. I noticed someone watching me approach and it registered it was him. I wasn't in the mood for any footy fan banter (and let's face it: Manure) but he patted my shoulder and gave a knowing smile as a wandered into the shop (probably for alcohol!). Thought afterwards it was a lovely human gesture.

Fuck me that must have had some power! How far are the stadiums apart??
