Nah......
He's no Haidara - I agree with you on that point!
Haidara is in the PL "what is the manager thinking by not playing him" team of the year
Nah......

Interesting everyone is guessing very similar finishing positions and that everyone says Rafa will stay...
I wonder what odds I would have got on you having the most optimistic predictions so far?![]()
1. Final Premier League Position? 18th
2. How far will we get in the League Cup? 3rd Round
3. How far will we get in the FA Cup? 3rd Round
4. Who will our top scorer be? Gayle
5. Who will our best player be? Yedlin
6. Who will be the player that Rafa keeps picking that we just don't agree with? Diame
7. Will Rafa still be here on the final day of the season? No
Oooh. Controversial!
I should probably add the caveat that I am pretty much consistently wrong about everything

Me too![]()
Do an Albert and call it an insurance bet!

Just a bit of fun so we can look back at the end of the season and see whether the doom merchants were living in a glass half full world, or whether the optimists were living in the land of delusion.
What do you think our final position will be.......

Let's see who gets closest!
I can't bet against my team. I did it once, when I bet a mate £2 England would go out of the World Cup vs Brazil in 2002. Still remember the sick feeling in my stomach. Never collected the bet either.
So I'll stick to making bold predictions in the secret hope I'm wrong. Call it the 'museli' approach.
