off we go.

Shit.

Can't I get a little sleep first? Maybe a sandwich or something?

tis deja vu for me. last year I made the prediction that it would be a great season with Liverpool, Arsenal, Manure and Chavski all vying for the Premiership.

I repeat (some might say foolishly) my prediction for the season ahead.

Can we get a wee bit of prediction in here sports fans? Here's my categories, we can look back in a year's time and see how we went.

07/08 Champion (My pick: Man Utd)
Runner Up (Chelsea)
Best of the rest- ie 5th place (Tottenham)
Relegated (Fulham, Sunderland, West Brom)
Top goalscorer (Owen)
Best signing (no idea)
Worst signing (Hargreaves)
First manager sacked (Sanchez)
Biggest diving cunt (Ronaldo)

The mail:

Tevez- West Ham to Real Madrid
Berbatov to stay at Spurs
Hargeaves finally to sign with Manure from Bayern
Bayern to use the Hargreaves money to buy Robben from Chelsea

I'd have Wigan instead of Sunderland, and whoever wins between Derby and Birmingam instead of West Brom)
Henry to have a big fight with Drogba for top goalscorer, only for McCarthy to sneak in and win the thing with a double on the last day
No contest on biggest diving cunt

But Derby and West Brom are the ones playing each other for promotion. :\

Oops. Ok, it'd be between Derby and Birmingham for the 3rd relegation spot- I tip Derby to win well next week. Fulham and Wigan don't deserve to stay up.

I do like the look of Bale from Saints, and Barnes from Derby. They don't look like they'll be staying put at their clubs for too long.

07/08 Champion - Chelsea
Runner Up - Liverpool
Best of the rest- Tottenham
Relegated - Wigan, Fulham, Reading
Top goalscorer Drogba
Best signing - either Tevez if he leaves West Ham or Tores if he goes to Utd
Worst signing - Barton if he joins a premiership club
First manager sacked - Sanchez
Biggest diving cunt - Ronaldo

It would be a cold day in hell when all three promoted sides stayed up.

I wonder will this be the summer when Uncle Malc finally manages to give us this £75M warchest United have been waiting for

I will predict plus tard

That was the only one I didn't deliberate over But I also factored in that Robben will probably leave.

good news Deano, Mido is trying to force his way out of his contract.

Well, Carrick wasn't exactly for free. Hargreaves isn't either. And since I'm hating the Roman-era Chelski so much, I wouldn't like to see Uncle Malc just buy an entirely new team with one or two exceptions.

My predictions will have to wait till the end of July or something about that. I just hope that Tevez plays for a team I actually like next year. So that excludes West Ham, Real & Chelski.

And I really, really, really hope Portuguese winger Nani comes to Old Trafford. Then we'd have a diving cunt on both wings.

Keane + Berba with 15 goals apiece by Christmas.

well, as he's completely ignored the massive amounts of extra cash from the tv deal and increased prices by over 8% more than was in his original plan for next season, because of the success, perhaps the tv loot is for players

hargreaves means 4-5-1 all next season, folks, so look forwards to more of the fa cup final-style snorefests

whilst you're all on about diving cunts, how about cole, robben and drogba's repeated efforts on saturday (admittedly, ronaldo didn't even turn up, so he couldn't have dived!)

And good fucking riddance to Mido if he's trying to get out of contract. Have fun being hated at a relegation embattled club pal. Did Robbo outscore you this year? It must've been close.

07/08 Champion (My pick: Man Utd)
Runner Up (Chelsea)
Best of the rest- ie 5th place (Arsenal)
Relegated (Fulham, Wigan, West Brom)
Top goalscorer (Drogba)
Best signing (That left midfielder we've been needing for five years at Spurs)
Worst signing (The inevitable centre mids that we're going to get instead)
First manager sacked (Wenger!)
Biggest cunt (Wenger)
