Predicting the Premier League can be a nightmare.
Just look at the 2015/16 season when 5000/1 shots Leicester City incredibly won the title.
Who saw that coming apart from a handful of lucky punters who placed a couple of quid on it in pre-season? No-one.
Predicting one season might be hard enough, but imagine how hard it is to predict the Premier League eight years from now.
Well, that’s what the Mirror attempted in a rather hilarious article back in 2012.
Back in September 2012, Alan Pardew signed an eight-year contract at Newcastle. In response, the Mirror jokingly guessed what the top-flight would look like in 2020.
It’s makes for a very funny read - but don't take it too seriously...
