FMTTM psychic predictions for 2023

Lefty

Well-known member
Come on then FMTTMers, you're all fond of predicting, with your stats and analysis and stuff.

Frankly, you're all rubbish.

It's time you put away your logic and reason and science and all that guff and properly embrace woo woo. Get in touch with your psychic abilities and channel your native american spirit guide.

We will hoof this thread up in January 2024 to see who truly is the most psychic. Let's see who would have warned us about the invasion of Ukraine and the death of the Queen if we'd only thought to do this in January 2022, or the pandemic if we'd done it in 2020. Or even President Trump in January 2016.

At least 5 predictions please, including one Boro related one. Ideally not just sport and ideally 10. No more than 10, however. If you've got more then you'll just have to discard some. Marks out of 10 will be given for spot on predictions and near misses.

Here are my 10 for 2023.

1. Boro finish 4th in 2022/23 but lose in the playoffs. However we are sitting in the top two at Christmas 2023.
2. Newcastle sack Eddie Howe before Christmas 2023, the board bowing to pressure from fans who are dissatisfied with how the 2022/23 season tailed off not securing a Champions League place, then failing to sign Mbappe in the close season and a disappointing start to 2023/24 which doesn't have them 10 points clear at the top where they should be.
3. Glen McGrath predicts Australia will win the Ashes 5-0. England win the Ashes 5-0.
4. Max Verstappen causes a crash.
5. Letters of No Confidence go in to the 1922 Committee.
6. Mick Lynch wins the Rail Strike.
7. Meghan Markle hosts a chat show. Piers Morgan is critical. And not invited on as a guest.
8. Donald Trump faces criminal charges.
9. Vladimir Putin dies from anus cancer, though it is hushed up.
10. Scientists discover a link between fatal/severe/long Covid and bacteria levels found in the gut.

There you go. Pity I had to discard a belter about Ghislaine Maxwell.
 
1) I will remain leader of the bum-faced clan.
2) Starmer will continue to be rubbish.
3) My dog will sign for the Boro eventually, probably at the end of the season.
4) I'll finally get around to marrying Hope Sandoval, Tanya Donelly and Zarah Sultana.
5) Nobby will get himself in to trouble again and I'll have to get him out of it.

Edit-
6) I'll have a big argument with BoroFur again and then we'll kiss and make up like we always do.

6. Mick Lynch wins the Rail Strike.

How will you define "win" in this context - that he gets all of his demands agreed to ? There's bound to be an end to it at some point, with probably both parties claiming victory.

Some of your predictions are as wooly as Sunak's pledges.
 
Here's my prediction!

1) Boro are promoted to the PL through the play off Final! Developmental Striker Marcus Forss bags an 88th Minute winner at Wembley! Recruitment is strong in the summer and Carrick has Boro comfortable in the PL. Meanwhile United have began to dip again and Carrick is being strongly linked to United!

2) The Georgia's fall out of the European Places altogether and with that their summer window they struggle to attract any big name talent. Eddie Howe is sacked in December with the club dicing with danger just above the relegation zone.

3) Elon Musk has an absolute fanny fit, sells twitter and with his money builds his own rocket and flies to Mars, he intends to live there permanently with an alien wife whom doesn't judge his children's strange names.

4) Rishi Sunak joins the 18 year olds of the nations in learning maths, he fails a mock exam and out of fury calls a general election stating 'They've still got to go to Middlesbrough and get a result and I would love it If we meet them
 
1) Putin dies, causing chaos in Russia
2) Boro sack Carrick after a poor start to the season. Woodgate care-taker manager till Christmas while David Moyes returns from an around the world cruise.
3) Man United sold to the Chinese Communist Party
4) Joe Biden dies, Kamala Harris made president, leading to the US incels losing their minds
5) Nadine Dorries writes a vicious memoir about her time as an MP and is laughed at
 
Wilder lands his dream job as head coach of Dynamo Brotton. He brings in Robert Lewandowski who has always passionately wanted to work with a "proper gadgie"

Lewandowski leaves in a massive sweaty after being benched as a "development striker".
Wilder then gleefully in press conference’s states, ‘couple in the village @ the green tree, standard’
 
Boro finish 6th.

China invade Taiwan, America intervenes and struggles like they did in Vietnam.

A general election is called before the end of the year.

Zelinsky is assassinated. Russia is blamed. It's not them indirectly.

Nursing unions accept pay deal. Teachers strike shortly afterwards.

We finally find out who sabotaged the nord pipelines.
