Hip Hip Hoorah! 2008 has finally passed and the world that is 2009 awaits us. In 2008 we saw an All-England Champions League Final, A new king of the hallowed surface at SW19, and even Ol' Blighty doing rather well at the Summer Olympic Games.
But what to expect in the 365 days ahead? Perhaps A Grand Slam for Murray? A Premier League Title for The Kop? Maybe even an NBA-inspired Premier League All Star Weekend?
No-one knows...however, I am going to take a wild and somewhat relaxed "Guesstimate."
Oh, dear...
January
After much speculation Manchester City land Cristiano Ronaldo, David Villa, and a troubled Steven Gerrard with the latter performing 100 hours community service. As City are out of all the domestic cups, his 8 o'clock curfew doesn't stop him from playing in any games. Meanwhile, Dimitar Berbatov starts to shine in Red. Playing up front with Tevez the Zombie and Rooney the Ogre, Dimitar the Vampire makes up the Fairy Tale Trio...Literally.
In the Land Down Under, The Fed Express claims his fourth Aussie Open title without dropping a set. Despite this success, Rog is slated for his Bandana knot looking slightly off perfect and is subsequently dropped to No. 47 in the world rankings and shunned by the worlds press. Beaten finalist Andy Murray vows to continue his superb form, eating haggis and reiterates the fact that he is actually Scottish.
February
Roy Hodgson's resurgent Fulham revel in their role as Barney Corkhill's UWCC Champions and storm to third place in the Premier League after 18 points from six games. As Steve Gerrard returns to his beloved Liverpool he finds that in his absence Albert Riera has become Mr Liverpool and Kop captain. The bewildered Gerrard doesn't know what to do and subsequently locks himself in his room.
Rafa Nadal looks a shadow of his former self as his 24 inch guns are hidden until the tight little tops Nike have him wearing. Roger Federer and the chasing pack take advantage forcing The Matador Of Spin into a mass of rampaging testosterone.
March
The Enraged Rafa rips the sleeves off his tight little tops and storms to the first masters title of the year, the Indian Wells tournament. As he lifts the trophy his left knee tape snaps and he falls in agony to the ground. The stage is one short at the Miami masters event but that doesn't stop Federer swooping to claim another Hard Court Title.
Fulham, still unbeaten since beating Tottenham, storm to the top of the the Premier League whilst bitter rivals Chelsea fall behind. Albert Riera's Liverpool seem to be out of it after Jamie Carragher is dropped in favour of the recently signed Titus Bramble. Manchester United keep themselves in the race after thumping Joe Kinnear's Newcastle 4-0. Shay Given's lawyer isn't impressed.
Man Utd also pile further pressure on Rafa Benitez by beating the Red Scousers 2-1 at Old Trafford. Albert Riera is removed as captain and the honour is passed on to Alvaro Arbeloa.
