Rant’s premier predictions

Making predictions in football is much akin to playing Russian Roulette, but with five bullets instead of one. The chances of success are minimal but undeterred Rant has placed the football gun against our temple and pulled the trigger. Bang.

    What time would one need to be at the Blaize on sunday morning? what time does it open? cant wait for brum game, I sense goals!

    Im happy we are being written off by the papers and critics. I feel like its the 06 season again when we wrestled and fought hard to become champions with a lesser squad (compared to Chelsea). I think without “you know who” it will feel the same again this year.

    Pre-season has shown some improvements in players performance and atttitude esp Berbatov, Nani who look hungry with an end product. Owen to provide goals certainly against lesser opposition. Valencia to be a real value add player.

    Rooney to be star man. Defence to be key. I think if injuries & luck are with us & performances are there i have confidence we will get the results. Prediction – Champions of England. The other competitions im just not sure!! all down to performance, injuries, luck of the draw!!! Whatever happens i think it will be a far more “emotional” season and when all is done will be far more rewarding to be champions 4 in a row!

    Love the last prediction! Still think United will make it four in a row. Difficult stuff of course, but if there’s anyone out there who can do it, it’s us.
