A Little Humility Goes A Long Way

Having questioned Andy Gray's supposed status as an authority on the game, I should probably point something out about myself...

Just some of my prophesies from recent times:

At the start of the World Cup, I presented 'THE TEAM THAT CAN WIN IT FOR ENGLAND' (the only team that could win it for England, as it turns out, is one made up completely of foreigners).

Later in the tournament, I stated that it was 'BRAZIL'S TO LOSE'. Lose it they promptly did, somehow beating themselves against a frankly rubbish Dutch side who were allowed to progress to the final and make a holy show of themselves. More a martial arts outfit than a footballing one.

At the start of this season, when Chelsea were steamrolling their way through some very handy fixtures, I pondered 'CAN ANYONE STOP THE CHELSEA JUGGERNAUT?'. A few months later, we have the answer. Sunderland, Birmingham, Liverpool, Wolves... even Arsenal!!!

So no, I'm not much of an authority myself. At least I don't sell a league for a living.

Things I Got Wrong This Season

So, Chelsea rounded off their first ever double today... Remember the Sky Sports mantra, this is the best league in the world, and yet what seems to me an underwhelming Chelsea side have plundered both Premiership and Cup. But then, what do I know? Very little it seems. Here is a selection of some of my great predictions from the past season.

* Chelsea will not win the league.
* Chelsea will win the Champions League.
* LIVERPOOL will win the league. LIVERPOOL!
* Man City for 4th.
* Arsenal to fall out of the top four.

The prophet of doom will return tomorrow to cast cynical shadows of doubt over this summer.
