2016 was a momentous year.
We started (and ended) the year with a rash of deaths of celebrities/stars, passed through Brexit and Trump both big underdogs this time last year. A 5000-1 winner of the Premier League. We saw by an attempted coup in Turkey and were saddened by the crisis in Aleppo
Looking ahead, what do you expect in 2017? this could be politicial, cultural, sporting, entertainment......you could give us a sure thing, or a long shot or two. We can revisit and bow to your predictive geniuses in a year's time....
*nb no "celebrity death lists" please

Marine Le Pen to become the France President. Shorter than Brexit and Trump were a few months out.
Coleman NOT to become the next Swansea manager (why would he leave his current cushy number if Wales can still qualify?).
Ryan Giggs to fail when he finally ends up managing a league team.

7.5/10 for my UFC Champ prediction. Similar prediction this year, of the current UFC belt holders, only Conor McGregor and Demitrious Johnson will still be belt holders, although I hope I'm wrong about Michael Bisping. |

I'm reliably informed from people that work in the industry that a new wave of automation and robotics are about to make the first real inroads probably this year after years of development. Will probably start to cost some people their jobs and they will have to find new avenues of employment.

People will have forgotten that 2016 was the crappiest year ever and decided that 2017 is now the crappiest year ever.
Miserable c**ts.

A major mainstream media/news organisation (CNN, New York Times, Guardian etc) to go bust.
Geert Wilders to win the Dutch election, the French Socialist party to lose the French election and Angela Merkell to win the German election.
Serious trouble (like somebody dying) from protestors during Trump's inauguration (maybe not at the event itself but protests around the US)
No attempts to get rid of Corbyn by the PLP. Probably a good year for him compared to this one.

Loads more lifelong heavy drug using celeb's will die very young and people will continue to be surprised that they are dying young.

Brexit will prove too complicated and detrimental to work.
Trump will be assassinated or impeached.
