At the start of the season we had mark my words thread. Interesting to read everyone's prediction of the season!

Pretty much all wrong.

Mark my words, Martial is not going to be the answer to our striker problems and Fellaini will score more than him.

LOL

Mark my words: Darmian and Shaw will be rated top RB and LB in the league.

Darmian really tapered off after an impressive start. Shaw :(

The only one I could see which was impressively bang on from /u/PhilJonesIsTheGOAT:

Martial top goal scorer (for us).... Debut goal against pool.

Holy shit. I know it was an unpredictable season, and hindsight is 20/20 but these predictions are awful! One guy in the whole thread said we'll finish 5th and he was on -2!

Someone also predicted Van Gaal would be sacked to which Groteberg said that will never happen.

I think his Dutch bias was coming through. I thought we were shit last season as well and could very much see him being sacked.

LvG wouldn't have been sacked if Mourinho was unavailable.

You have no idea if that's true or not

Most people on here know fuck all, who knew?

People on here are pretty much always wildly over optimistic and incapable of objectivity, as with any fan forum but this one is especially bad.

I got the 14/15 one so wrong with Anderson.

I'm going to attempt a reverse jinx that Mourinho will play boring football and no youth player will be given significant time on the pitch.

Damn, I was probably very wrong in that one. Think I said Van Persie would get over 20 goals in the league...

[–]VaudevilleVillain 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

Imagine all the ones who thought Falcao would be a goal machine.

Mark my words, Most clean sheets in the league and least conceded. Modest 3rd place finish

I was close, except for the 3rd place.

I was wrong about my Winter Transfer case window buy.

That guy had it pretty spot on

Except for the trophy. We won the FA cup aye!

  • We will finish 3rd with Chelsea and City a long long way away
  • Martial will score 20 goals and overtake Rooney as a starter by the end of the season
  • DDG will not be staying with us and Navas will be joining us. Either in January if he doesnt sign a deal (regardless of champions league cup tied) or next summer if he does sign one (and the contract will have the set release clause)
  • Gareth Bale will be our big saga/signing next summer

Well Chelsea were a long way away, just in the wrong direction. City did finish above us.

I think Martial ended with 16 didnt he? and Id say hes on the team sheet before Rooney nowadays

I still think DDG will be gone in the summer

I think the Bale ship has sailed now.

This guy nailed it.

Someone predicted LVG getting sacked, and someone predicted Man Utd trying to sell De Gea and failing. Those were pretty badass.

I didn't do too badly. I was 1/1:

"Mark my words, Louis Van Gaal won't be the manager by the time the 2016/17 season starts."
