So the blue kid is playing mind games? Pretending to show his hand, as
if David Moyes, the football genius, has transformed the Toffees, and
trick me into picking them. Or is it a triple bluff?

No, I'll ignore these games and stick with my plan. Appearently I'm a
holder of a "SPURS iD" (yes, that's how they spell it), and last week I
saw video on the Dundee derby, so I'll use my experiences from that.

The simplest answer is usually the correct one... I just messed
up! I thought you had picked Tottenham & Dundee, it was Jesus
Petry's post that I had read. (Duh!)

West Ham & Motherwell

Two weeks ago, I fell asleep on the tube, only to discover that there is
a East Ham. How this should affect my pick is not clear to me.

[...looks at the options again...]

The woman on TV said "[Lyndon] Johnson" while I was looking at the "[St.
