One of those T-Shirts should be at my Dad's place waiting for me. #StopTheCount.

The last time we topped the table, I wasn't alive......so as tragic as it is, it's momentous for a small club fan :rofl:

Saints still not safe from the drop. Actually I think if you only pick up 4 points from the next 9 games as your current rate you're doomed. 18th place could well drop with 40 points with WBA and Sheff U well adrift.

My gut feeling is Newcastle will go.

and thanks for the three points over the weekend. Payback for that dreadful VAR decision in the return fixture that I had the pleasure to sit through as one of the 'lucky' 2,000 back in December. Up the Albion.

Brighton are probably just about fine, but will need a few more lucky wins like the weekend to scrape to safety.
Newcastle are ****ed, Burnley will probably be OK.

Sheff Utd and WBA are long gone and good riddance. Fulham might pull it off and if they do it's great for them, hopefully at the expense of Burnley or Newcastle - couldn't care less if either of those clubs just disappeared off the face of the earth.

I'm very pleased to say my prediction of a botched vaccine roll out was wrong. The other predictions (exam chaos, tax rises, UK not opening until August,, US coming out of it strong, EU a mess) all seem on track.

As for my resolutions:
- Continue working on my new side gig : going well
- Keep my head down in my current job, hoping to miss the redundancy cuts starting this month: managed to escape and the guy next to me took the fall. Next review is probably early 2022
- Support my wife with the back to work move and (hopefully) the move to a new career: she is back at work and back into the usual moaning about it. She seems to have forgotten about a new career.
- Get the balls rewired to prevent any more kids. Support and grow the ones I have: rewired, so there will be no future millhouses. The two new animals are thriving, the older animal now back at school and appears to be the only one to have done any work over the lockdown
- Continue the piano: two new pop songs done so far this year, about to start the next

Nice work :thumbup:

Bought the Mrs a keyboard for Xmas. If I hear the musical accompaniment to "And I guess that's why they call it the blues" and then the wrong notes for "Time on..." one more time in my life it will probably make my brain explode.

ABBA, presumably?

ACDC

Almost at the end of a very tedious process of buying a house during lockdown (there is a gap in the market here for competent property solicitors, and a bonus point if they know how to use email).
Sunderland just won their first trophy in my lifetime.
I have been introduced to Nintendo Switch.
The COVID vaccine debacle is showing just how messed up the EU is (and sadly that they are willing to sacrifice lives to score points).
What's not to love about 2021 so far?
