Well, personally, I have to say it’s been a marvellous week. First, we sent Manchester United home with their tales between their legs on Sunday and last night got a great away win at Wolves. It’s seriously starting to look as though I’m going to need to update my LinkedIn profile 😉
Right, on with this week’s picks.

After a week in London, I will be travelling back home tomorrow. It’s been a grey and miserable week, so I’m looking forward to going home to some sunshine. And playing this on a continual loop 😂 😂 😂
Whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope it’s a good one.
