David Cameron WalkerPanelistSamPanelistCharliePanelist🎵 Hello and welcome to the latest show from WD-18 and from the Rookery End on your screens via YouTube and in your ears in podcast form.
My name is Mike and in this episode we're going to risk what little credibility we have left as we make our predictions for the 2026-27 season.
Joining me in putting their reputations on the line for this episode is DCW.
Dave, how are you? I'm very
Looking forward to trying to top my prediction last year of saying that Jeremy Ngakia would get goal of the season.
isn't it? Charlie, how are you?
I'm good.
I'm looking forward to hearing Sam's predictions because every year he pulls out some absolute whoppers.
So always fun doing this video and glad to be doing it with you two as well to see what you've got up your sleeves.
So whoppers in a good way or whoppers in a bad way? absolutely terrible you talk about putting credibility on the line Mike I don't think I've got any credibility left after the last few years I'm trying to think I can't really think off the top of my head what stinkers I've had because every single year they just seem to get more worse and worse so yeah a lot of bad ones over the years so let's hope that yeah this year a little bit better didn't you say we were going to get promoted last season
No, he said Leicester were.
Okay.
Wow.
Okay.
So we started with David, the gold standard, and we've got the full gamut.
We'll start with David, ending with Sam, who's obviously, what's the opposite of the Midas touch? He's got that anyway.
It's nice to have you along anyway, Sam, regardless.
So we're making these predictions ahead of the league opener, which we've got Southampton at the weekend.
