January 2017

I know, I know … it’s getting a little scary/scarey now. Oh, I was talking about the black toe I’ve got from wearing ill-fitting shoes just before Christmas, what were you talking about? Oh, the fact I’m getting all the scores right! Of course! I had barely noticed. Really is proper good to see Fletch […]

. Tom (@Tom_McGhee): . Literally typing this on a phone, as I drive a 7.5 tonne lorry. It’s not ideal. If only I’d had a few spare days to prepare something better… Prediction: Going to go with 3-1 United if for no other reason that I’m trying to be more optimistic for the new year […]

  As I correctly guessed the Villa result and scorers, and then almost got the West Ham score and scorers too … I don’t know where this sentence is going, I’m going to abandon it. Was just trying to crowbar in what I’d done. That was it really. Hull are at that level of doing […]

Here we are again … simply enjoying another wonderful Christmas song!

I’m getting good at this prediction thing. Or repeating the same prediction over and over and over again eventually comes up trumps. I’m going with the first one. The second one sounds wrong. As Paul off of the Rant Cast texted me: It’s Christmas come early #Danny #Adnan That sums it up far better than […]

  Guessing which West Ham is going to turn up is like guessing a thing that’s not very easy to guess. I’m going to presume it will be the West Ham that plays in the Premier League, and that, coupled with our very poor home form, yet recent mini-run of “general form”, I’d say makes […]

All hail: Young Ashley’s goal; Patrice’s goal; Fletch getting more minutes and promising he’s all better; Rooney being out and giving Danny a chance; the result. I’ve run out of things to hail. Bored now. Potentially a nice little run of fixtures over the next couple of weeks. Who’d bet against us being in the […]

Nowadays, under Sparky (or as he’s now known ‘Mark Hughes’), tonight’s opponents can be weaselly distinguished, by their stokally different playing style, or something. I didn’t really think that opening sentence through. I imagine they’re still the same: Crouch with the occasional bit of magic and less occasional attempt at an overhead kick when it’s […]

  Like I said a couple of posts ago (not to you, to the person reading over your shoulder), am on a no repeat trip at the moment, so not gonna say anything, unless there’s something new to say. But maybe read my pre-match thing, and then fall in love with me*.   *More in […]

Look, David, if you had one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment, would you capture it? Or just let it slip, yo… . His palms are sweaty, “Rio’s weak”, “Ando’s heavy”, there’s DM on his sweater already – Morgan sewed it. He’s nervous, and on the surface he […]
