Predictions in football often reveal personal biases and agendas, serving more as guesses than educated insights. Many unexpected outcomes have occurred, challenging pre-season expectations significantly. For example, noted surprises include Liverpool’s title run, Manchester City's performance, and Manchester United's position. Additionally, the importance of a winning mentality and talented players, particularly concerning Liverpool and Arsenal's squads, is emphasized. Forecasting is presented as a futile exercise, highlighting the unpredictability inherent in the sport.
'Prediction is too pompous a word for it. What we are doing here is called guessing. And whatever you do guess will be less fanciful and ridiculous than what actually happens.'
'None of your in the knows had Liverpool sewing the title up by March, Manchester City winning one in 13, Manchester United 15th, Spurs 17th, Crystal Palace winning the FA Cup, Chris Wood scoring 20.'
