Just found this from 2006 from the guardian

Basically a journalist analyzing the Prem teams and predicting where they will finish during the 2006/2007 season.

I hope he got sacked!

Who's finishing where - Paul Wilson's 2006-2007 Premiership final table

1 Liverpool Will be going all out for the title this season, to judge by Wednesday's Champions League qualifier, and they can get under Chelsea's skin.

2 Chelsea Will be putting everything into Europe this year. We hope.

3 Arsenal Tomas Rosicky, the new Dennis Bergkamp.

4 Spurs New, improved lasagne recipe.

5 Manchester United Where are the goals going to come from?

6 Everton Andy Johnson a big success.

7 Blackburn Mark Hughes puts down a marker for possible Old Trafford vacancy.

8 Bolton Steady, but no surprises.

9 Newcastle Happy to be mid-table.

10 Aston Villa On the up, maybe a Carling Cup final in a season or two.

11 Middlesbrough Gareth Southgate may struggle, but still a well-run club with good players.

12 West Ham Can't possibly match last season's success. Can they?

13 Portsmouth Wild stab in the dark. Could fi nish anywhere.

14 Charlton Iain Dowie finds going tough at fi rst but fi nishes strongly. Just so people notice there's a new manager.

15 Wigan Due a relegation struggle.

16 Manchester City Due a relegation scare.

17 Sheffield United Neil Warnock is a good manager and he has not waited all this time to go straight back down.

18 Watford Down in last-day drama.

19 Fulham Chris Coleman has his work cut out.

20 Reading The new Sunderland.

Paul Wilson is the Observer's football correspondent. He has previously worked for the Guardian and the Independent and local newspapers in the north of England, where he still lives, the only Evertonian in a family of Liverpool and Wigan Athletic supporters. No awards, books or television career to speak of, but he once saw a bloke on the tube laughing out loud while reading his column. He lives in hope that in another five years or so he might spot another one. Or even the same one hes !£"$ and he knows he is !!!!!! thats from his own bio in observer

[Nemanjaaa]

LMAO, they are possibly the worst predictions ever. Not just the United one but, the Watford one ? Didn't Watford go down in about April not on the last day

[piazza]

My god, did he get drunk and let his little daughter pick them?

This bit in particular made me laugh:

Tomas Rosicky, the new Dennis Bergkamp.

To even compare the great Bergkamp to an unproven player is blasphemy.
