er A new season of football in the World’s Best, Most Expensive, Fit & Proper Association Football League™ is almost upon us and much like other august journals, I thought that TRP deserved to have a little contest to see who is right and who is very wrong come May 2024. There will be prizes on offer* (tbd), including a very special, limited edition gangtag to be MSPainted at a later date, courtesy of our mod and long suffering Leeds (  ) supporter, the sex ghost.Some of the scintillating storylines this season:
Here’s how last season ended up:  Prediction Categories:

Prediction Categories: Winner: Man City Top 4: Man City, Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea - not necessarily in that order Relegated  : Luton, Sheffield United, WolvesTop Scorer: Haaland Player of the Year: Haaland Surprise of the Season (Club): I was going to say Brighton might surprise us by being bad at coping with European football and losing some key players yet again, but I'll make a positive prediction instead and say that Kompany's Burnley are actually quite good, adapt to the Premier League well, and finish top half Surprise of the Season (Player – Good, aka “The Michu”): Darwin Nunez turns out to actually be good Surprise of the Season (Player – Flop, aka “The Shevchenko”): Kai Havertz Bargain Transfer: Feels weird to call any eight-figure player a bargain but I think Liverpool got Mac Allister for surprisingly cheap so I'll say him Bonus Round - some of these might be subjective: Any Prem team win the CL? Nah Most Red Cards? Casemiro Biggest meltdown (can apply to club, player, manager, owner, fan, etc): Klopp Which wag will get their partner in trouble/splashed on the papers? Jack Grealish does a threesome or something Any other fun suggestions????? What are you most looking forward to? Football being back on every weekend these will all be wrong so when somebody that isn't Man City win it you can thank me

Winner: lol it's Man City Top 4: Arsenal, Liverpool, uhhh maybe United? tbh I feel like I'd give <40% odds for any team past the first 3 so IDK Relegated : Luton, Crystal Palace, Everton (surely this time!)Top Scorer: Haaland Player of the Year De Bruyne Surprise of the Season (Club): This could be good or bad, you pick Palace relegation after Woy has a coronary scare and quits in October due to changing priorities and a wish to retire; they get some hack like Bruce or Lampard in and pick up 14 points for the remainder of the season Surprise of the Season (Player – Good, aka “The Michu”) As a Norwegian I am honor-bound to put Sander Berge here even though I don't actually Believe In the Lad Surprise of the Season (Player – Flop, aka “The Shevchenko”) For similar patriotic reasons I have to pick a fellow scandi, sorry Hojlund but you're the highest profile one in recent weeks! Comedy option Kane decline begins if he stays. Bargain Transfer There's gonna be quite a few as usual but I'll put my money on Tielemans, still only 26 could easily find good form again under Emery and Villa got him on a free to boot Bonus Round - some of these might be subjective: Any Prem team win the CL? Definitely not Most Red Cards? Newcastle surprisingly Biggest meltdown (can apply to club, player, manager, owner, fan, etc) Gonna be someone at the Chels but I have no idea who or how (unless Lukaku actually stays in which case it will probably be related to him) Which wag will get their partner in trouble/splashed on the papers? I don't know a single WAG except Rebekah Vardy so I guess that's my default pick What are you most looking forward to? Football

kri kri posted:Raya is a good shout, incredible bit of business that Ya I thought the news was fake when I heard the deal, even if he sucks they don't even have to buy him since there is no obligation clause. Also mila kunis and sexghost having Ashley Young + Milner are good shouts. For free, can play a million positions and good lockerroom lads to have.
