This week you get everything in one post because it’s coming thick and fast.
Your Comments
AA: “The Mercedes pit crew are off my Christmas card list. Russell was that close. Same could (maybe) be said of his hometown club in the latest round of the FA cup. F1 is my latest thing. “
With Mercedes he is Top 3. With Williams he is bottom 3. Predictions are way too easy.
BE: “Ho hum., another week, another try………you say exacts are important, I think I have only one so far this season.”
If you had picked 2-1 for every game you might have had more than one!!
JE: “All choices by young H today apart from Leeds v West Ham. I have 2-1 and H guesses 1-2. “
I go with young H from now on!
JE: “Hope Raul can play again and doesn’t suffer like that geezer from Tottenham / hull. I forget his name….. Love to all“
Ryan Mason form Spurs nobody went to Hull before Cahill destroyed him. I don’t think he is in as bad a shape (multiple plates and screws) but you never know. Petr Cech had to wear a helmet. I don’t think I’d fancy insuring him much!
ME: “The manchester derby is the biggest game of the day and it’s a dog fight between “the luckiest team” and “the classiest”. I predict that AM has gone for a Man U win and will be disappointed! “
Keep the focus on your own picks and don’t make fun of the Trafford Boys from Old Toilet because that’s mean to their fans who don’t need any more reasons to whine and complain.

Leeds play well but don’t win. The Hammers keep winning (4 of 5) and their last meeting was an away win… so why not.

I want to pick a clean sheet for Citeh but United have this bad habit of picking up dodgy penalties and Bruno keeps scoring with his annoying hoppity-hop style. I think Citeh will win but I’m not sold on them anywhere near as much as anyone else. I’m beginning to question whether Pep is just the next Mourinho and no longer the chosen one (said as Spurs sit on the top of the mountain).

A draw seems a fair result. Hope Raul gets to be with the team at least.

Can Arteta be on the chopping block already after taking the FA Cup last year? I have to say yes. Any manager who plays David Luiz can’t spot a lack of talent or a problem.
Time to put Ozil back? Surely the time limit on upsetting China is over by now. Put Gunnersaurus in!

There’s a new game I play weekly that consists of a question: Leicester, Clinical or Crap?
This week, clinical.

Poor, poor, Sheffield. The honeymoon is well and truly over. The return plane got canceled, the luggage got lost, they left the fridge open and burglars broke in and stole their valuables.

So he who gets few exacts has two exacts!
And she who has exactly one on the season so far gets one.
Overall, a pretty low scoring affair.
