The Forum is full of people laying claim to have foreseen everything from the sacking of #16 to the return of the Special One well in advance. And maybe they did pull off a Paul the Octopus. There's really no way to tell today, unless we'd be bothered to dig through all their posts on matters such as whether the fortunes of Torres would be improving by September 2012 or whether Chelsea were going to relocate to Battersea.
But you could make everyone fill out a questionaire, couldn't you, and then run like a competition as to who got the most rights at the end of the season?
