    I put out this topic last year and received a good reception. Among other things, I predicted Fulham would end up 12th in the league. Happily I was wrong, but I also predicted Dempsey would lead the team in scoring.

    So here are a few topics to consider:

    End of season League position.
    Stand-out player.
    Top scorer.
    Time to Retire.
    Fulham's manager in 2013 <laugh>
    Other

    Anyone care to prognosticate on a few key points?

    League Place: 8th again after a shorter run in the Euro Cup
    Stand-out Player: This will be the year of Moussa Dembele
    Top Scorer: Bobby Zamora
    Time to retire: Andrew Johnson
    Next Manager: Robbie Savage (for his unbelievable hair)
    Other: I think we'll see the decline of Danny Murphy and the ascendency of Steve Sidwell, who will become the team's de facto leader before the end of the year.

    End of season League position - 10th, again with a shorter run in the Europa
    Stand-out player - I reckon Dembele too
    Top scorer - Can't see past Bobby or Dempsey
    Time to Retire - Danny Murphy. Sorry.
    Fulham's manager in 2013 - Rafa Benitez (for a laugh)
    Other - I think we'll start to see a bit more variance in our centre-back pairing, with Senderos and maybe Burn getting more starts.

    End of season League position - 12th, Last 8 in Europa League
    Stand-out player - Zamora
    Top scorer - Zamora if he avoids injury
    Time to Retire - Danny Murphy
    Fulham's manager in 2013 - Danny Murphy??
    Other - I think this year we will get a good run in the FA Cup and Briggs will take off

    Messi says he is happy at Fulham & Rooney begs Fergie to let him join his old pal Ronaldo at the Cottage.

    End of season League position. 10th Good europa run (last 8/last 16)
    Stand-out player. Brede Hangeland (best CB in the league apart from kompany and vidic)
    Top scorer. Zamora
    Time to Retire. Schwarzer (should forget about loaning/selling stockdale)
    Fulham's manager in 2013 Mark Hughes (this 'ambitious' manager will be begging for his job back when he finds no offers have been made for his services)
    Other. Frei will be a player to look out for

    Here we go:

    End of season League position - 9th, Last 8 of Europa league, FA Cup Semi final, League Cup winners (hey, you gotta be optimistic)
    Stand-out player. JA Riise
    Top scorer. Zamora
    Time to Retire. Schwarzer
    Fulham's manager in 2013 - Make way for the triumphant return of Lawrie Sanchez - or perhaps just Martin Jol
    Other One way or another I believe Fulham will qualify for the Europa League again next year.

    League position: 10th or thereabouts as Europa fatigue/distraction stops us from punching above our financial weight.
    Stand out player: Duff in two or three spells lengthy spells, but with other spells where he is quiet or rested for a number of games
    Top scorer: Bobby (assuming we don't sign someone new)
    Time to retire: Schwarzer. We'll also see less of Etuhu in the starting eleven
    Fulham's manager for 2013: Jol
    Other: Frei and Briggs make increased number of appearances on the fringes of the squad, Senderos replaces Hughes as Hangeland's most frequent partner in the centre of defence
    Al Fayed unveils a statue of the Chuckle Brothers in a bid to open up a new line of revenue for the club
