I thought Harry Kewell would be a world beater. I thought Cisse would be better than Drogba. I thought Alonso would be too slow for the premier league. I thought Roy Keane would be a great manager.

What have you been terribly wrong about?

1994 World Cup.

Talking Colombia up loudly and declared early on that it was not possible for either Brazil or Italy to win the tournament which left me a bit red faced come the final.

Thought Carlos Vela was a future golden boot winner in PL when first saw him. Admittedly he just started to progress his career now but still not to the level his potential promised

I thought there was no way the FA would allow Milton Keynes to buy a league place for a property development :-(

Thinking it would be fine to walk from tube to WHL on my own in Arsenal shirt circa 1996, that went well.

Booing John Barnes @ Wembley because everyone else was just before he took that free kick.

Refusing to sit down as the Spurs fans sang "naughty" songs about Wenger on Wembley way before the Spuds vs Leicester league cup final - I got quite a lot of grief when I looked around to see about 30000 people sitting on the floor, in fact taking a woman on a date to a team you don't support at Wembley is just wrong.

Agreeing to go a first date July 4th 1990 at 19:30.

Standing in the Blackpool end with Wigan fans before kick off of an FA cup tie @ Blackpool.

Fraser Campbell being a world beater - Saw him tear Norwich apart for Hull in the Championship a few years ago, he looked like he would be amazing.

Confidently predicting that Juan Pablo Angel would go on to be a better player than Thierry Henry.

Daniel Sturridge.   

I have eaten a lot of humble pie.


Not the only one though......

Daniel Sturridge deal being reported as almost complete.

I like Liverpool, why why why why why why why are you doing this deal, he is truly awful.

I don't know if 12m is true, but if it is, it could equal the Henderson and Downing transfers in waste of cash levels.

Danny Mills was "potentially" better than Gary Neville. FML

I thought that David Moyes would avoid embarrassment humiliation in his first season at Old Trafford.

Thought it was brilliant we'd beat Man Utd to sign Hysen.

Thought Hicks & Gillette would be the start of something great.

We have a new Chairman (ex Man Utd director, Maurice Watkins) and CEO (ex football agent) already this summer so things should improve in the behind the scenes running of the club from the old corner-shop mentality, and of course we have Flicker back in charge with the same backroom team.

Our 2013 form was good enough for the top 6 based on the league table from 1st Jan, and we look to be moving in the right direction, so this is definitely the most optimistic I've been for a new season in many a year.
