    An educated guess? It's a prediction!

    Ya but if I say the best signing is Bony and other say Soldado, Navas etc etc who decides who was actually the best/worse signing at the end of the season.

    Or do we just predict and nit pick towards the end of the season based on peoples guesses?

    If Chelsea win the league chances are Cech will have the best defence ahead of him and win the Golden Glove, think Mata had the most assists last season so another good season will consolidate that and Mourinho, well hes Mourinho and whoever wins the league will be the best manager, unless Laudrup manages to bring Swansea very high up the league tabel and win another cup, all IMO of course. :pac:

    P.S. are you setting up your weekly prediction league like last year Ivy?
