QPR certainties to get promoted. With that amount of money they could buy any players they wanted.

This is a nonsense assumption. Even Utd armed to the teeth with cash struggle to sign players ahead of Madrid, Barca and Milan.

Funnily enough I predicted Portsmouth to win the FA Cup at the start of last season and they're doing pretty well! Unfortunately I didn't put money on it.

Aw that's a shame. You could have got some nice odds!

Good call!
I think Sheffield Utd. will be promoted aswell : they had a torrid season tbh but they're good enough to survive in the Premiership.

Liverpool not finishing in the top 4 and wanting Sunderland to stay up were dead give aways!

kensutz

Norwich to win Championship, FA Cup and League Cup.


Ok so Huckerby and Dublin are gone and we need 12 players. Still going to renew my season ticket and suffer the same story again next year.

By the way, there is a difference between what you want to happen and what you think will or could happen. Some people in this thread seem to be confusing the two.

Whilst this is truth, QPR could probably have the choice of Championship players they want if they sell the club to the player and tell them of their aims.

Pretty unlikely, goes against your policy on older players, goes against Wengers policy of recruiting youth and would mean you'd have to smash your pay structure, something you aren't keen on doing or Flamini wouldn't have left.

Anyone else think that Fabio Cappello will either quit or be sacked before the end of next season?

Croatia could well do them again and leave them (yet again) struggling to qualify. A couple of poor away results and a team that is (as usual) not as good as it thinks it is could struggle. And there are ongoing gurgles of discontent in Italy about the state of his taxes. If teh FA forced out Venables over his dodgy dealings I can't see them being too happy with an Italian under active investigation.

herbieflowers

"gurgles of discontent"? Haha, nice.

Mr.Nice Guy

I predict ten of the twenty Premiership teams will sack their manager.

Aston Villa to finish in the bottom half of the table, maybe 12th or 13th.

Given my track record of prediciting stuff, NONE of this will come true! :pac:

Could be closer to the truth, who knows the Transfer paranoia that will descend on VP over the summer. i can see a lot of fans being rather impatient/unhappy. again.

Does this count for double sackings?
I'm going to go with 12 sackings in total.

Yet again?? I think they normally do qualify, this years Euros being the first for quite a bit,might be wrong though,have they failed to qualify for a few lately?

joe123

Liverpool to challenge for the title and Ryan Babel to prove his potential.

redzerdrog

a premiership game will end 10-0 or 10-1

Against Stoke

delija_sever029

I expect same situation in top3 and that this next season can finally make some boom in fight for 4th place,i expected that for this season with Everton,Spurs,Newcastle,City and Villa but they didnt have energy and knowledge even those names were promissing to me,maybe this summer stransfer period will give more names and especially more game on the pitch to make top 10 looking great,where everyone will beat anyone,its just i want to see more dangerous to threat for top 4

Juan Pablo

Juve to win Champions League.

Next year will be Liverpools year

to finish 5th

Charlie

Kevin Doyle to be playing with Sunderland.

Everton to possibly have one of their yoyo seasons?

Birmingham to be relegated to League 1 come next May.

Carrick to be sold in summer 09 to a Villa/Newcastle/Everton/Pompey

Barca to be La Liga Champs (not exactly sticking my leg out here)

More of a wish, but by next summer, Abramovich to have gotten fed up and wanting a new toy.

pickarooney

A new piece of legislation to change the face of football... (dun*dun*dun) forever!

Smegball

Ronaldinho, David Villa and Samuel Etoo to all be plying their trade in the Premiership next season.
Same Top 4 but With Liverpool and Arsenal swapping after major investment by Liverpool.
Spurs to finish 5th
West Brom to stay up

At least we have it out in the open again. Those that said it will be made to look as foolish as previous seasons

As you know very well, there is too many really stupid people here who are far too eager to predict the downfall of whatever club. Consider you have done this on more than one occassion, I would have thought that you wouldn't be too shocked about someone else doing it.



My prediction is that Spurs will defo finish in the top 5 and maybe even push for 4th place. I also believe that the top 4 won't finish in the same order as this season and the title contest being just as close as it was this year with 3 clubs in the running with 8 games to play.

Thats the one I was going to say, they will win the thing at a canter. I would put very good money on that, though I expect them to be favorutes for the title. I'll be keeping a keen eye on the prices.

Also:
Spurs will mount a proper challenge under Ramos.
Juventus will win Serie A
Ireland will win in Rome, en route to World Cup qualifacation.
A fit Robin Van Persie will be the top scorer of the Premier League next season.

LuckyCharms

Arsenal to win the quadruple





Arsenal Ladies that is

Everton were luck with injuries this year and played above themselves and while I think they have a great manager I think they will drop down a bit, 10th ish,
Villa to realy push for cl spot and be there or there abouts, Arsenal season to depend on what is spent I think they need to spend 50m+ to stay in the top 4.kegan to get sacked/have a hissy fit and walk with Harry finally takingover with watertight contract.Man city unless they keep sven to be in reg battle.
stoke to beat derby record.Sunderland to either spend bucketloads and come in top 10 or roy to walk.

Well this thread went up about 6 months ago and I think that of all of them this was probably the closest. Everton have dropped back, Villa have pushed on, Arsenal didn't spend and are struggling. Keegan walked, Man City not far off teh relegation battle and Roy has walked. Not bad!

I predicted Arsenal to struggle and Villa to push on but was well off teh mark with Capello not doing well.

Anyone want to attempt to justify thier original comments or think that they'll still come true (even if it's not looking too good now!). Anyone want to give a mid season update on predictions?

Sunderland to need new manager by Christmas (Keane to walk rather than be fired).

Mike.

I think Mr. 65 was the most accurate tbh.

Even won some money on it!

I notice you did not quote the bit about Newcastle

jem is the winner so far I think.

Lol thought I'd spare you that one

LuckyLloyd
