Presumably we can all look back on these guesses this time next year and laugh.
I just had a look at an R&L 25 prediction thread set up last year after the '24 announcement. Bring Me The Horizon were in one or two guesses but pretty much all of our other guesses were off.
Admittedly I don't think anyone saw Hozier and Chappell Roan's shoot up the festival booking ranks coming.
I thought there was a chance they'd turn up at Bilbao BBK due to not wanting an association with Mad Cool over the 2017 shitshow but BBK announced this week and no BJA, Dirnt, Cool and the gang there.
I don't think the Europe race is out of reach just yet - 3 points to the top six is not insurmountable. But the margin for error is disappearing and if this continues, it will reach that point.
Something is really not clicking, whether it's players who only turn up when we play big teams, a defence that suddenly seems quite flaky, the continuing search to play Tonali & Bruno together, the attack not creating/scoring enough, any combination of these problems each week, the transfer market, PSR, Howe's tactics being stale, etc.
Yeah this is how they operate. I used to be involved in designing the program.
Anyway it’s getting duller by the year and more of an “old duffers” event. They need to freshen it up somehow, but I doubt they care:
