Football Predictions- 2019-2020: Instant views.

With the Charity Shield  playing this Sunday (4th August ) and the Championship starting this weekend, it's high time I gave my predictions for The Premiership and  Championship Football Leagues. So here goes:


Premiership

1 Manchester City

2  Liverpool

3  Tottenham Hotspur

4   Chelsea.

It is impossible to see beyond City or Liverpool for the title.

Spurs should carry on their impressive progress.
They are safely bedded down in their new ground and seem sure to
give a good account of themselves.

Chelsea are my wild card. I am hoping, under the new stewardship
of Frank Lampard, they will regain discipline and begin to play
to their undoubted strengths.

I am of course, wary of Manchester United, who must, at some time
regain their form and strive for the top again. I give them another
year in transition.
 So, for me, two from the north west and two
 from the capital.



Championship



1  Leeds

2  Cardiff City

3  West Bromwich Albion

4  Middlesborough.

Surely Leeds will return to the Premiership 
this season. They were up near the top throughout
and only fell away at the end. Win with pride.

Neil Warnock is the  jewel in Cardiff's crown.
He almost kept them up in the top flight and
will engage the troops  in battle formation and
worry them until they gain promotion.

The "Baggies" used to be the proverbial 
yo yo team; up and down from Premier to
Championship. The midlands, excepting
Villa are under-represented in the the top tier.
Under Bilic, they may get their act together
though it promises to be a rocky,
 if interesting ride.

"Boro are another nearly side. They
have the ground, supporter strength
and a feeling they have been under-
achieving for a long time. maybe, just
maybe......

Wild card; Luton Town, who have
been going through a renaissance 
in the past few seasons. I never
dismiss momentum. We shall see.

👏👏👏👏👏


Instant Lives

How wonderful to read a book 
To listen to music and disengage 
from the digital debris.
Bringing multiple messages,
Videos,photos,news and fake news
All in an instant.

What is an instant? What is its value?
Faster processing means an instant 
will be faster this year than last.
Time is compressed like swimmers
racing in the pool.
Yet we still feel stressed, not knowing 
what to do with that extra time?
.
This compression forces us to 
make unwise choices; like editing
Children’s books effecting a shorter 
reading time and scanning 
headlines to deliver a bite-size
news report.

This accelerated pace plays
havoc with body clocks especially 
as time is really on our side.

Slower and deeper we must go
like those blessed poets who enter
that secret, mysterious alchemy
of language bringing joy, sorrow and
the full gamut of human emotions.

Their words will remain  locked
within; not vanishing in an instant.

With a picture of Stonehenge on a beer  brewed in Wiltshire by Wadsworth, I was amused to see it entitled " A Game of Bones"
Very quaffable it was to.

WiFi for now
