    Similar to last season lets see how bad we are at making predictions for our respective teams in the 07/08 season :)

    Here's last season's thread for those interested: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054974465

    Team, Optimistic Position, Realistic Position, Most Important Player, Breakthrough Player, Best Signing


    So for me I think...

    Team: Liverpool
    Optimistic Position: 1st
    Realistic Position: 3rd
    Most Important Player: Torres
    Breakthrough Player: Insua
    Best Signing: Torres

    l'arse
    optimistic - 2nd
    realistic - 3rd or 4th
    fabregas
    i don't think Arsenal will have any 'breakthrough' players this season, unless you count Walcott, Diaby and Denilson having more playing time. Bendtner maybe?
