Haaaaaaaappy Wednesday!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Hump Daaaaay! 🐫 Wow 13 Frosty Spins and a recap, what..a...week! We had some jam packed action unfold in both league and cup play, with some absolutely scintillating results and developments that can shake up the course of the league's destiny. 21 down, 17 to go, everything to play for a chance at FPL and EPL glory. This is... the week 21 recap!!
West Ham (1) - Nottingham Forest (2)
Things going from absolutely bad to worse as West Ham has gone back to back Ls against their relegation competition. It's going to take some divine intervention to keep Alea's Hammers afloat. Going up early, they looked to bounce back after a Murillo OG, but were sadly crushed by 2 Forest goals at the feet of Dominguez and a Gibbs-White Pen to hammer the nail in the West Ham coffin. RIP 🪦
Bournemouth (3) - Tottenham (2)
OOOOOOOOOOOOOF, it's 1 in 5 Ws for Tottenham as they fall victim to Antoine Semenyo's farewell game. Things were looking pretty even, even with Tottenham in control of the game and looking dangerous to break the deadlock after goals from Tel, Evanilson, In-form Kroupi, and Palhinha. But only one man could break the deadlock, and that was none other than...Archie Gray putting up another absolute shocker, whose assness rubbed off on the entire Tottenham team, giving the Cherries and Semenyo all the courage in the need to find the game winner. And winner did they find. Tottenham fall to 14th, Bournemouth 15th, but don't worry Spurs, $40M (thank you very much!) of help is on the way!!
Brentford (3) - Sunderland (0)
Igor Thiago, enough said. More in-form than Haaland himself 💪💪💪 He may be the new Meta always on captain. 5 goals in 2 games for who appears to be on challenging the throne to be the new king of FPL (16 goals to Haaland's 20 atm). All hail Igor Thiago!! Add in a nice goal Yarmoliuk and you have a commanding W for the pesky bees over a struggling Sunderland team who has dropped to 10th. Don't look now, but the Bees are all the way up to 5th! 🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝
Crystal Palace (0) - Villa (0)
A defensive show down for Palace and Villa as Villa is unable to capitalize on a crucial opportunity to gain points back over City and Arsenal. Guehi rumors continue to swirl as Palace continues to struggle to find results. Speaking of which, let's take a look at their cup game against...checks notes...Macclesfield?? 🧐
Now this is why we love the beautiful game, last year's champs ELIMINATED BY SCHOOL TEACHERS (who really is the farmers league at this point? 🧑🌾 ). What a win for Macclesfield as Palace pulls a Man U/Real Madrid epic bruh moment. Tough sledding continues for the rusted Palace.
9 men Everton (1) - Wolves (1)
You know, I thought the Red Card saga couldn't be topped by Everton hitting their own player, but they came close here with the double red card thanks to some boneheaded plays by Keane and Grealish. Goals by Keane to somewhat redeem his performance and Mane settle this at one a piece. Don't look now but Wolves are on a 3 game unbeaten streak, but 14 back from safety in what surely appears to be a relegation year. Keane always seems to find himself at the center of some red card drama.
Let's take a look at how the Rosenior 🤓 era is going...aaaaaaand Chelsea has already lost all hope thanks to none other than the infamous Cucurella and his patented 22nd min red card.. No aura left on anyone on the squad, but better days ahead I'm sure! Goals from Jimenez, Delap, and none other than soon to be Pool/City/Arsenal player in the next year or so Harry Wilson!
Touuuugh start at the Bridge for the Blues in a hotly contested match as well in the CC:
Man City (1) - Brighton (1)
The positives: Haaland has broken the blank streak.
The cons: Man City fail to win points back on Arsenal in a very winnable game, and still sit 2 games back to the Gooners.
But I'm hearing there was some exciting cup action this week at least! Let's run the tape and see how the new signing Mr. Semenyo is doing so far against good ol Newcastle in the leg 1 semis!
Talk about a Sesko breakout game against an evenly matched Juggernaut opponent 😤😤😤😤. A brace for the big lad was offset by a goal sent from Heaven himself and Anthony. Man U have completed a very impressive feat, tie to Wolves, Forest, West Ham, AND Burnley. Nicely done lads.
Well while they figured out their new coaching situation, surely interim Darren Fletcher could snag a cup W against Brighton right? WRONG!!!! But hey, another goal from Sesko at least! And Bruno getting hacked brought some distraction to the fan base at least.
How will the post-Amorim era begin for our dear Man U go? Well all that's left to play for now is the league. Surely they can still compete while the other teams suffer through fixture congestion right? I mean it is only 17 points, stranger things have happened! They'll end the season with only 40 games for the first time since 1915, I guess history really does repeat itself!
Some big news for the future of Man U, foretold by the great prophet in July, TheElitePundit:
Newcastle (4) - Leeds (3)
Yet another epic HOWAY THE LADS moment for Newcastle who pulled a W out of what looked to be a sure L. This back and fourth match ended in crazy fashion. Down 3-2 from none other than DCL and an American Aaronson brace, Newcastle entered stoppage time looking for a miracle, and found it thanks to Bruno G and none other than the Archer himself, Mr. Harvey Barnes 🏹🏹. A crucial 3 points for lads as they jump all the way up to 6th, just 3 pts back from top 4 contention.
Latest goal in Premier League history, and what a time to bag it for a much needed W. On top of this, they locked in a crucial W to keep trophy hopes alive against the Cherries in the FA Cup in nail biting fashion, the dreaded PK shootout.
All this being said, it appears salty, stormy seas are on the Horizon, as Newcastle faces a formidable run of games that could knock them back down to earth. I know this upcoming schedule has Beef like:
Arsenal (0) vs. Liverpool (0)
A top 4 anti-footballing masterclass. But at least Gabriel continues to eat I suppose. This game could have been fun, but neither team had the cajones to make first strike. The race for the top remains the same distance as last week. So as a consolidation, please enjoy this epic bruh moment from Szoboszlai in cup play:
You know it's bad when this happens. But both teams are looking solid for now in their trophy quests, Liverpool giving Barnsley the business in the FA Cup, and Arsenal beating Portsmouth and taking a crucial lead at Stamford Bridge in their respective cups
Galaxy Brain Plays of the Week 🧠

Boneheaded Play of the Week
-
Cucurella and Grealish players, I bet they're seeing red as we speak!
An absolute masterclass from potential jersey buying, 40th place Mr. Matt Dlugopolski to skyrocket himself 137 pts clear of the bottom spot. 17 pts from the backline of Timber (Dale), Virg, and Keane (5 even with red card), 8 from Doku, 5 from Neto, 3 from Saka, 6 from Semenyo, and 9 from Wilson in the mid, and a big 25 from the big men up front, Mr. Haaland and Mr. Thiago. Well done sir, a well deserved top dawg indeed! No how about we actually change that name!
Super nice of Cal to relieve Roldan of his watch for the week as Mr. Everton put up a shocking FPL performance to knock himself down to 26th place. It's been a rough run of games for Mr. Tutson, and Cucurella did him no favors with the -3 this week. 1 from cousin Rico Lewis, 0 from VDV, blanks across the board outside of Garner and Haaland, just one of them weeks. But at least he got da Beaaaaaars to cheer him up!
That'll do it! Excited for week 22!! MHGOTW + Locks incoming!!
