At the request of my footy-mad little nephew following deep discussions yesterday during turkey and mince pies, here's the promised football predictions blog for 2011...
Dream prediction:-
David Beckham and Ray Wilkins take over management of the England Team. I have everything crossed that Capello goes soon with a big fat pay off and we get some pride, passion and playing skills back into the England squad. Surely Lord Beckham of Leytonstone and Uncle Fester can lead us to winning Euro 2012?

Andy Carroll from Newcastle to Arsenal? (yeah, I know an Englishman at Arsenal!)
-- the Man Utd predictions are based on the Quatar takeover coming good!
Premiership Managers Under Threat
Alan Pardew - a 5 year contract and two games in, but Ashley made a big mistake with Pardew and I can't see him lasting the season or the Toon staying up with him in charge.
Carlo Ancelotti - he looks unsettled and could be heading back to Italia?
Mark Hughes - might be in trouble if his best players are sold in January
Roy Hodgson - looks completely out of his depth at Liverpool. Martin O'Neill surely a better option?
Avram Grant - West Ham are on the slippery slope and it can't be too long before Grant is on his way out.
1st prediction (8th Jan) - Roy Hodgson leaves Liverpool.
