Just to put a bow on this, my HMs with 51-55 already posted. 11 from 2025 here, so I've tried to help as much as I could! Not actually in any order, just a count and aimed at songs with some backing. #THETWEN2IE5

An excellent weekend for Arsenal in GW12. UCL spot going to the 5th-placed team would be pretty exciting.

Oh no, will somebody think of the pensioners. How annoying for them the triple lock pushes their state pension up that much. Absolutely incredible way of framing this.

Morning. Eye of the storm I guess today. On the next 45 HMs in the interests of making your life as easy as possible is my RAG rating of detail you need in those lists accurate? You also mention posting a screenshot of them with alt-text, is there an embargo date on that? Thanks!

GW9 had been and gone and the title race and relegation race are not as exciting as the race for 4th/5th
