10 Bold Predictions - 2018/19

As we do around here, with the season approaching in England, it is time for predictions of all sorts. We'll have the generic ones, much more cookie-cutter, but this thread is for the annual Bold Predictions, the ones that are less direct, and that are standout opinions.

1. Jack Wilshere to play 30+ games this season
2. Man United to name a starting XI with the oldest average age in Prem history
3. Jose not to last the season
4. Arsenal to win the Europa League
5. Rangers not to get top 2
6. Wolves bottom half
7. Liverpool to beat Man United by 4 clear goals in a game
8. Norwich relegated
9. West Ham to concede 4 in a game at least 6 times
10. Salford not to win the National League

1. Aleksandar Mitrovic to be the top PL goalscorer
2. Zinedine Zidane named Manchester United manager, replacing Jose Mourinho
3. Darren Moore to be sacked by WBA before Christmas, and replaced by Sam Allardyce
4. Joe Hart wins the PL golden glove
5. Derby County win the Championship
6. Burnley, Bournemouth and Cardiff relegated from the PL
7. Diogo Jota to make the most assists in the PL
8. Saido Berahino to be the top Championship goalscorer
9. Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappe, Kane & Lewandowski are not top goalscorer, of their respective league.
10. Wayne Rooney comes back on loan to a Championship side, and scores on debut.

1) The UEFA Nations League to, not only be miraculously understood, but to be admired and rejuvenate interest in the international game.
2) Mourinho to last the whole season.
3) Tottenham to lead the Premier League at Christmas.
4) Harry Kane will not win the golden boot.
5) Leeds will accomplish an unusual double: the FA Cup and the Championship.
6) Emery will be sacked in January, and replaced with David Wagner.
7) Truro to win the National League South...despite playing 'home' games at Torquay this season.
8) Qatar to be stripped of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
9) Everton to get relegated.
10) A 'magic weekend' (similar to rugby league) to be agreed for a future PL season. This will mean a '39th game' played in some far-flung, overseas location.

1) West Ham to break into the top six
2) Cardiff, Huddersfield and Watford to get relegated
3) Neil Warnock to be the first manager sacked
4) Ruben Loftus-Cheek to start twice as many games as Ross Barkley
5) Raheem Sterling to be the top bench warmer
6) Premier League to introduce VAR from 1st January
7) Patrick Aubameyang to be top goalscorer
8) Harry Kane to score in August
9) Man Utd to win the league
10) A team will win 10-0

Not sure stripping's allowed in Qatar.
