Frank Lampard to take charge of Crawley Town after buying a NFT from John Terry.

The World Cup will make this the most boring season of Barclays ever.

Haaland to be constantly spotted out and about in Manchester getting up to some brightly-clad hi jinks.

Every weekend just in The White Hotel.

GENERAL BIG SHOUTS:

not a big shout but if Ronaldo finds a club, Utd to release a dvd about pushing the top 4 all the way. Stays and we finish 8th behind Newcastle. ten Hag has public screaming matches with the histrionic preening rapist prick.

Nunez and Haaland destroy all hot takes.

Spurs reach semi finals champions league and finish comfortably third, no trophies.

Eriksen to never get booked despite being yards off the pace and having to hack anyone down on the break with only maguire behind him

All players that don’t go the world Cup (Haaland, Diaz, Salah) look incredible in the close season, injuries reach record heights, season asterisked, everyone agrees never again.

Son to make kissy faces at squid clubs by March

Mike Dean to reinvent VAR

van Gaal to reach the world Cup final. De Jong player of the tournament. Barcelona continue to bench him all season to avoid paying appearance fees.
