With apologies to Melbityguy and his excellent thread here:

Back in the day InsideSport magazine (what's a magazine Boomer?) used to run a 'no risk' predictions article at the beginning of the year as a pisstake of the sports world.

Here's my 'no risk predictions' for the A-League.  Feel free to add as many as you like.

Teams continue to play in oversized, cavernous shitholes yet again.
Macarthur and Western United crowds cause people to look back with nostalgia at the last season of the NSL.
Mono to shoehorn SMFC into as many threads as he can. (100+ I'm going for in the first 3 months.)
Eurosnobs continue to pour a bucket of shit on the league.
Refs to cop criticism all out of whack with reality because (a) players and managers don't know the rules, (b) fans don't know the rules, (c) even the refs aren't sure of the rules (see handball interpretations.)
One flare at a stadium leads to journalists equating it with the coming of the apocalypse.
A second division is not established.
Promotion and relegation is as distant as ever.
Sydney to cop ref / FA / A-League 'favouritism' claims for the umpeenth time since the league started.
Some young gun will be called the next Harry Kewell only to take a contract O/S and end up being loaned out to the Bulgarian 3rd division.
