Houdini

Liverpool knocked out of the FA Cup by bottom of the Championship Plymouth!

I don't think it means anything in the context Jey Uso uses it. The word itself though is a slang term to throw something. It's looking very much like he will face Gunther for the world title at WrestleMania. I'm sure he will win but I can't imagine him having a long title reign after that.

John Cena has officially declared for the Elimination Chamber match, if they add Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, CM Punk and Drew McIntyre to the match as well then it will be seriously stacked. Qualifying matches will begin on Raw this week.

I would like to use my swap card in this upcoming round please.

The two Royal Rumbles matches were at the complete opposite end of the spectrum in terms of predictability! I would never have called Jey Uso winning! The finish of the Men's rumble was awesome. Likewise the finish of Cody Vs Owens. The other two matches went just about as I thought it would.

lol. Southampton obviously must have read my post from a few days ago. That's one record avoided, 3 more points to get past the lowest ever points total now!

For the women's rumble match I can't see anything but a win for Charlotte Flair. Most eliminations will be Nia Jax or Bianca Belair, iron woman I think will be Charlotte. I expect Jade Cargill to return during the match which will restart the storyline of who attacked her. Outside chance of AJ Lee appearing also. Jordynne Grace will surely appear in the match. Men's rumble match I think will be won by CM Punk due to the favour he has with Paul Heyman, John Cena can win the elimination chamber match instead to get a title match against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. CM Punk will probably face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania for the title that Gunther currently has so how Gunther himself loses it before then will be remained to see. I think Jey Uso will be the iron man, Jacob Fatu will have the most eliminations. Overall it could be one of the biggest storytelling rumble matches ever with Roman Reigns, Drew McIntyre, Seth Rollins, Sami Zayn etc... all having their own story arcs.

Yeah I also think it's really hard to see them getting another win this season. Even when they get themselves into winning positions they throw it away so quickly. To be on 6 points at this stage of the season is shocking as well, already 11 points adrift of safety the way that they are going they could be officially relegated by end of March.

Southampton only have 1 win so far in the league, if they don't win again they will match Derby's record from 2007/08 of the fewest wins in a Premier League season. Does anyone think they will get another win?

2014 was the most fun year of following the charts out of those options and one of the last genuinely exciting years for the charts imo. Quality of the music was also largely good then.

Man City on the verge of elimination after bottling another 2 goal lead and losing 4-2 against PSG. They have to beat Club Brugge next week to make it into the play offs. I think this new format has exposed how easy it has been in recent years for them to make it into the knockout stages, they've practically been by-passed into the round of 16 which helps them go deep into the Champions League every season. Some of the results that they had in group stage matches over the years have been embarrassingly comfortable for them.

Top 4 has always been likely for Man City, even when they were losing multiple games in a row. I'm pretty sure they will finish 2nd.

It's looking like the 3 promoted teams will get relegated again this season which is not good for the league imo. It helps freshen things up when at least 1 or 2 of them can stay up, especially when the teams that replace them are largely the same merry-go-round of teams. Looking at the Championship table suggests that kind of scenario happening at the end of this season.

R.I.P Denis Law. One of the best to ever do it in a Man United shirt!
