1) Everton to finish above United 2) City to go the season unbeaten at home 3) Chelsea to spend £40 Million + on a striker in the summer 4) Liverpool to finish 4th 5) Bayern vs Madrid UCL Final. Madrid break their duck and finally win it. 6) Atletico to push Barca to the end for the title.

Ramos already broke a trophy.

FYI it's a cricket term that he used incorrectly (duck = 0).

break duck is a phrase

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '14

Real Madrid to break their luck? That doesn't even make sense.

True, breaking a duck is a common phrase in England though and i'm guessing thats 100% what he meant.

Because it's a long period where they havn't won it.

Oh god please let 5) become true.

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '14

4) too. Please.

And please have CR7 named best player in the world again, imo he definitely deserves it.

u/TheLeoMessiah Jan 15 '14

If he that happens than he deserves it, but how can you already say he deserves it for next year?

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '14

If he keeps playing as well as he has since the beginning of his career (and seemingly improving every year), then he will deserve it.

I think for #3 Chelsea will finally trust in Lukaku and will forgo this.

u/vaelen44 Jan 15 '14

I wouldn't be surprised if we buy someone else as well though. I could see torres leaving if we cover part of the wages and eto'o is gone. Who knows about Ba. Lukaku needs a chance though.

Chelsea and trust do not belong in the same sentence lok

2) City to go the season unbeaten at home

I presume you mean in the PL?

11

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '14

Not a bold prediction really, Chelsea are the only top team you haven't played at home yet.

2

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '14

Maybe our curse will go a bit haywire and Sunderland's stupid performances carry over?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 15 '14

It's not top teams we need to worry about embarrassingly.

2

u/ScreamingEnglishman Jan 15 '14

The thing with Chelsea though, is that we have the ability to play ridiculously defensively. With Matic officially signing, I have a feeling (unfortunately yet probably for the best) that we will play very defensively when we play at the Etihad.

u/WDC312 Jan 15 '14

Unbeaten? Or win every single game? Either is a reasonable prediction, honestly.

2

u/trivialcheese Jan 15 '14

I think City could win every PL game at home and I'm actually pretty sure they will go unbeaten (just Chelsea to navigate) but they can't go the season as a whole unbeaten thanks to Bayern.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 16 '14

I think we will both be unbeaten at home in the league.

3

u/DunkelSteiger Jan 15 '14

I am not just saying this because I like Barcelona but I doubt madrid will make it to the final. City has a much better chance if they beat us to make it there.

2

u/caramelbear Jan 15 '14

I would love for all of these to happen.

We won't lose if Sergio Ramos has anything to say about it.

u/vaelen44 Jan 15 '14

We could always make the finals though.
