    I don't want to see Man. City crumble tbh. Really like the club and wish them the best all the time, sad to see them is such a dire situation.
    I don't want to see Arsenal win the Premiership and i don't want Fabregas to win Player of the Season.

    5. Make one obscure prediction that could actually happen this season.
    Stephen Ireland to set the league alight and if he does go to Sunderland, expect him to boost up Sunderland to a UEFA Cup spot.
