New England wins the Super Bowl to go 19-0.

Fabio Capello enrages the English press by having the temerity to suggest that England won't win anything because the top English players are crap.

Chamions League will be won by a team who aren't actually domestic champions.

Top flight football continues to be over hyped.

GotaFancy? finally finds a club that wins 99% of matches only to find that the week after he buys their shirt they sack their manager and appoint Graeme Souness, with Steve Staunton as Asst. Man.

The Daily Sport claim to have found a fan who actually gives a fcuk about Middlesbro'

  • Brian Robson to get sacked as manager of Sheffield United and people finally realise he might have been a good player but couldn't manage his dinner.
  • All English Champions League final that ends 0-0 after extra time and goes to penalties.
  • A handful of football teams to hit financial difficulties and fold.
  • Bradford Bulls to win the Super League Grand Final.

- Lawrie Sanchez to take over as manager of Republic of Ireland
- FA Cup Final between Chelsea and Arsenal gets the usual build up, only to end 0-0 without a single shot on goal
- Widespread shock as while the squad is in Italy all of the Liverpool players have their houses robbed in one night
- Spain win Euro 2008. Aragones thanks Benitez for keeping Torres and Alonso fresh through squad rotation
- Northern Ireland World Cup qualifiers begin in farce, a 3-0 home defeat to San Marino. Just days later the Czech republic are beaten 4-3 with Healy scoring all 4 goals.
