Five bold predictions for the new season 16/17

[Phischy]

Bold predictions:
1. Spurs will make a genuinely big signing.
2. Manchester United and City will fight it out for the league, whilst SkySports reports almost exclusively on Pep vs José, forgetting there are 18 other teams.
3. Spurs and Arsenal both fail to finish in the top 4, experiencing up and down seasons leading to both managers leaving. (Wenger to retirement and Pochettino to a top Spanish job)
4. Spurs do however win a domestic cup and do surprisingly well in the CL.
5. Following Chelsea mounting the worst ever defence of a Premier League title, Leicester to spectacularly beat that record by finishing 18th and suffering relegation. Vardy still doesn't leave and still seems to have a broken arm.

Alternative predictions so bold all the letters of the font used to write them merge together to the point of being virtually indistinguishable from black splodges, although written in the standard font here so that they can in fact be read:
1. Spurs line up with a traditional 4-4-2 to accommodate Janssen.
2. As part of this change, Eriksen is sold as he hasn't signed his contact.
3. Spurs win the league and the FA Cup, but finish 4th in their CL group.
4. Manchester United sack Mourinho and replace him with Pochettino at the end of the season.
5. Dier and Alli announce their intention to Wed. Dier wears a white dress at the ceremony.

[spursram]

1. THFC is sold to a US conglomerate.

2. A site of historic importance is unearthed during the stadium rebuild and all work stops. (It subsequently turns out to be the first deep fried cockerel restaurant in Roman Londinium).

3. Gareth Bale makes a sensational return to WHL....he scores a hat trick for RM. Fortunately everyone else is at Wembley where we win 6_0.

4. We WILL win the PL.

5. I finally finish above my kids in fantasy football. (This is the least likely).

 

[kremlyn]

1. We see the emergence of 433 as a plan B.
2. Son finishes season as cult hero. Scores blinding goals in CL and against Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool. Does fk all else.
3. Onomah pushes Dembele for the no. 8 spot
4. Lamela to be our POTY. completely overlooked for the EPL award.
5. We get the best GD in the league.

As for where we'll finish or how we'll do in the cups... This could be the most open league in years. The competition will all take points off each other so we could profit.

 

[Flynn]

1) operation yew tree catch up with a long serving football manager.
2) Rooney scores goals in England's qualifiers against Malta and the press will hail his return to form.

[southlondonyiddo]

1. Kane to score less goals than last season
2. Tottenham to finish 5th
3. One of the teams with no European football this season to win the league
4. No Spurs Community member to get more than 1 prediction correct

[ILS]

1 - Leicester fans will turn on Raneiri as they end up mid table
2 - Daniel Sturridge will play more than three games in a row
3 - Harry Kane will become Spurs new corner taker
4 - Spurs play Real Madrid in the Group stages of CL and for one night only if you squint hard enough we can pretend Modric and Bale still play for us!
5 - We will have a 12 point lead over Arsenal going into the last two matches and still finish below them.

 

[Saoirse]

1. Leicester fail to adapt to playing in Europe and finish mid-table.
2. Guardiola fails to revitalise City's aging squad, and they fail to qualify for the Champions League. He's sacked by the end of the season.
3. Cameron Carter-Vickers sees some playing time through injuries and rotation, and impresses enough to earn the offer of a senior call-up for the USA.
4. Lamela is finally recognised as a top-quality player after improving again on last season.
5. Tottenham finish 3rd again behind league winners Man United and runners-up Arsenal - but Wenger leaves at the end of the season and the curse is finally lifted.

 

[TottenhamLegend]

1. Fans will be calling for Janssen to start over Kane (or play both together) by about February time. Not particularly through any fault of Kane, but Janssen should suit the PL perfectly.
2. Lamela will be in the PFA TOTY
3. I'm struggling for 5 so I'll slot this in here and hope nobody notices.
4. We'll get to Wembley in a Domestic cup, either League Cup final or FA semi.
5. (non Spurs) - Sturridge will get back fit, stay fit, and win the PL golden boot.

You know I saw he was 30-1 a couple of days ago and had to have a fiver on him. If he plays 30+ games he's going to be in with a shout.

 

[Gassin's finest]

1. Tottenham will win the league
   
2. Harry Kane will finish top scorer in the CL
3. On the monday morning after the home tie to Crystal Palace, pupils at Northumberland Park Secondary School find 57 Nike premier league footballs in their playground after all of Andros Townsend's shots went clear through the space vacated by the old North/East corner stand.
4. Daniel Levy to be reprimanded by the FA after egging new Hull manager Tim Sherwood from the directors box. Everyone else roundly applauds, impressed by his marksmanship.
5. The rest of the country finally comes round to the reality that Jose Mourinho is a **** and a charlatan, and is sent packing from these shores tied astride a barrel with a signed Juan Mata Chelsea shirt stuffed in his mouth.
