FA Cup 5: SF

For those concerned about my mental health, you'll all be glad to know the world is a sunnier place this week. It's not all driven by Mesut Ozil's right foot, although I'm pretty sure that's a contributing factor. You just know that it's got to the time of year where the blossom's out and the birds are chirping and people play football in short sleeves and John Terry's finished.

I mean, properly finished. He'll go out with another winner's medal which will make him happy, but then he's basically done from my life. So that's all good.

What else? This week I had a pleasant surprise when my horribly expensive, disgusting looking biscuits were, in the words of Dangerous Dave, "quite nice actually"

Chelsea losing makes things "interesting" if you're interested in which horrific bunch of reprobates can lift a fundamentally vacuous totem in 6 weeks time. I'm not. Vastly more important is who can go out in the FA Cup Semi finals & fail to qualify for Europe next season. That's the real prizes worth winning. Ask Kierkegaard*.

Middlesborough are down. Sunderland are pretending not to go down, but will go down. Swansea also seem to have finished their little resilience. WBA have the flip flops on. Leicester are also done for the season now. Romelu Lukaku is good at football. Is that enough non-sequitors now to let me go to the results?

*I've never read Kierkegaard. Started once but basically didn't understand anything on the first page so went back to the Hardy Boys. Good ole' Frank & Joe.

Sort of forgotten to do the FA Cup results, so will update blog with them over the weekend.

This week's predos are FA Cup game only as only 6 games in PL as per last time this happened:

Chelsea vs Spurs - SPURS

Arsenal vs Man City - ARSENAL (even though there's money on this. That committed to not saying we'll lose|)

Good luck guys
