The ICEMAN is the THRICEMAN, still finding new records to break.

Now this list is more like it. Blazin Squad first.

Brighton & Hove Albion 2Vs1 Manchester United Burnley 2Vs0 Wolverhampton Wanderers Crystal Palace 2Vs2 Arsenal Fulham 1Vs2 Newcastle United Liverpool 1Vs0 Brentford Manchester City 3Vs1 Aston Villa Nottingham Forest 1Vs2 AFC Bournemouth Sunderland 2Vs0 Chelsea Tottenham Hotspur 0Vs1 Everton West Ham United 2Vs2 Leeds United

Well I'm pretty happy with Tuchel's main omissions apart from Gibbs-White who I ordinarily wouldn't be sold on but he's hit form at the right time so definitely warrants inclusion on that front. Palmer has been a joke all season and Foden hasn't done anything of note in an England shirt ever. I'm surprised he dropped Maguire who tbf has always performed better for country rather than club but all the CBs picked bar Quansah are better than him so... Henderson though that guy has a spot for life it seems.

Good to see Romero has his priorities in order

My second fave Pink song after Just Like A Pill, love it.

I think they could be very much a dark horse!

Annoying that they switched Radio 1's Big Weekend to be during Eurovision impact week from last year as it's usually one of the most interesting chart shows of the year. I remember 2021-2024 it was 2 weeks after the contest so you got a lot of EV songs being played on the show but last year and now this year that won't happen.

Nice throwback this one!

As it transpires, I may have been a bit overly keen on the expansion to voting for 15 songs but I have stretched it out to 16 remaining just about. There are 2 here in particular that are clear of the rest.

I think Spurs could definitely lose their match, their home form especially is truly abysmal, joint worst in the league. Leeds meanwhile will definitely be a hard game for West Ham but that really go could either way.

FAVE 1 DARA - Bangaranga 2 Nemo - The Code 3 Netta - Toy 4 JJ - Wasted Love 5 Loreen - Tattoo 6 Måneskin - Zitti E Buoni 7 Kalush Orchestra - Stefania 8 Duncan Laurence - Arcade 9 Jamala - 1944 10 Salvador Sobral - Amar Pelos Dois LEAST FAVE The more recent winners here are so much better. In fact most winners from the 2010s, not just the latter half of the decade, were pretty rubbish...

Let's see which winning song from the past 10 contests will prevail! Full rankings of course most welcome.

A truly iconic cacophony of samples!

This Drake album(s) drop is very reminiscent of the Certified Lover Boy release week where none of his songs could dethrone an extremely long-running #1 (in that case Bad Habits) from the top.

Yes, Out Of Control is amazing! They used it as the soundbed for Sky Sports Premier League Years reviews ❤️

Welp, see y'all in 186!

The BIG question is whether Bangaranga can outpeak Bangarang. It's looking good so far!

I mean you could try and hope the host/no one notices but it's probably not worth the risk

Ah I see I hadn't clocked the league-based permutations, so there's at least a little more intrigue then on the final day aside from the final relegation spot.

I'm talking specifically about qualifying for the CL though which no "small" team has done for a very long time other than Leicester. You can add Swansea/Stoke/Wigan/Burnley all to the likes who have qualified for Europe in recent times too but to actually get into the big league is another level. (Of course I know Bournemouth haven't yet done this but it seems for all the world that Villa win tonight in my eyes thus handing them a spot) And yes I expect they'll struggle next season but they'll take that for the chance of welcoming Real or Barca to the Vitality!

With Alcaraz out, I'm still retaining hope that Djok could pinch one of the next 2 slams if all the stars align given he did beat Sinner at the AO.

Agreed, very catchy chorus especially.
