    No one has started this thread up to now, so I will be the first.

    My predictions are simple.

    Stoke City will win everything.

    Don't care who goes down as long as it is Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United.

    :D:D

    Well Arsenal are doing what they do best. Cheating. 1-0 down and a Stoke player injured in their area and they refuse to put the ball out of play.

    My prediction! ( nothing earth shattering) the league will be won by a team from Manchester!!
    Spurs & Chelsea to make champions league.

    Relegated - Palace, Swansea, Huddersfield or Brighton ( one of them will collapse sadly) or Bournemouth ( I really hope not, what they've achieved is astonishing!) 7

    Well if we're resurrecting the football thread then I would like to draw attention to my teams amazing cock up with one of the best English managers around. Not only have they let us down, they've let themselves down and they let 'Arry down to.

    If I was more of a fair weather fan I'd have bailed on The Blues, unfortunately I'm stuck! :(

    At least Bongorob will be happy, poor as Stoke are, they won't be playing Birmingham or Villa in the championship next season!

    All Stoke need is a good striker, I think that Mr Hughes made a mistake in signing Berahino, can't even score from 12 yards.

    Mark Hughes is a very clever man. Last week during an interview he said,"The last two home games they've won 5-0, but I don't anticipate that happening again." He was right.

    Shaun Miller of Carlisle United Football Club has become the first player to be suspended under the new simulation rules. I eagerly await the first player from Arsenal, Chelsea and the Manchester clubs to suffet the same punishment, but I bet they don't.

    The tale of Mark Hughes and his £18 million flop.

    Since Stoke striker Saido Berahino last scored a goal, there has been a Brexit referendum, Leicester City won the league and England has had three different managers.

    The numbers don't make for happy reading for the 24-year-old: 1,908 minutes, 583 days, 38 shots, 30 Premier League games and counting.

    He had a chance to end his barren run against Southampton but had his penalty saved by Saints goalkeeper Fraser Forster.

    we have had some poor strikers and some downright bad strikers, Berahino is by far the worst.

    Well 5 points from 6 games. Relegation form. Can't even beat poor sides such as Leicester, Brighton and Crystal Palace. HUGHES OUT!!!!!

    Maybe now is the time to say goodbye to Sparky! You won't end up with Moyes or Hodgson at the moment!

    If you do go, remember to wrap up warm. And hopefully you will get to see Crouchy play.

    Well Half Time Stoke 0 Liverpool 1 and referee Atkinson leaves the pitch to chants of cheat. and the crowd are 100% correct. This man is nothing more than a joke as an official.

    Liverpool scoreafter the ball had gone out of play. Then The Liverpool keeper (last defender) took out a Stoke forward on the edge of the area, no sending off. Atkinson is a cheat.

    I have to agree! Especially if the (28 years without the league title ) team from Anfield are the team getting dodgy decisions!
