Come on and do that conga, Brian

Start of the season predictions are one of the most exciting parts of a sports pundit’s job. Seldom does anyone remember your claim that Manchester United’s defensive “frailties” would set them back in the title race (The Guardian’s “analyst” David Pleat) or that it would be a “miracle” if Everton reached a European spot this year (News of the World’s Jeremy Butler).

So, looking back at the sage wisdom of  Fleet Street’s back-page brigade, I note Brian Viner of The Independent’s bold statement last August: “If none of the big four reach the 2008 cup final I will lead a triumphant conga round Soho Square, naked. You can hold me to that.”

With the weather turning nice again we suggest there is no better time than now – following Portsmouth’s 1-0 victory over Cardiff City last weekend.
