the chelsea one's a bit lame, but the others are all significantly funnier.
i think he put all the 5s on himself personally.
JPB please go meet some other real humans, not just those on chat roulette

I don't know what that's got to do with it.
I only spent about an hour on mine in total, so it's not like I was advantaged by having a less bust social diary.
Are you saying that you gave 5* to Barry's article because you think that it would have been funny if only he had had more time to write it and wasn't distracted by his busy social calender ?
It was in reference to Digby and chat roulette.
I dont rate articles and while this isnt Barrys best it is a decent effort.
Your attempt was actually cringeworthy.

JPB you actually spent an hour on that cak?
probably about 40-45 minutes at a guess including copying the teams out and stuff. each one took about 3 or 4 minutes, but i was watching the telly too which filled out the time probably.
it's way funnier than the OP's anyway which probably took longer.

Yes, this is MUCH funnier. It goes beyond the repetitive and formulaic use of the comic idea of saying something which looks sincere, but which clearly isnt actually sincere.
This version actually includes genuine humour.
Here's mine with a few more added now so you can see the difference a bit more clearly.
If you read the earlier ones, they havent changed, so you can just skip over those ones this time :
Arsenal – Have pursued a risky strategy based on improving team moral by selling star players in order to raise funds for more supporter seatage, which they expect will lead to increased crowd noise during games.
Prediction – A lot of booing
Aston Villa – Still in disarray over the "is it a villa, is it a stadium" dispute.
Prediction – Costly and disruptive name change or possible relocation to Spain.
Chelsea – After last season’s park the bus strategy, chelsea have bought some attacking players during the transfer window in an effort to get the bus moving this season. A bus is still a bus though, so don’t expect anything spectacular. Chelsea will hope to make up for the loss of drogba’s diving with the introduction of Oscar who can be expected to put in plenty of theatrical efforts.
Prediction – Oscar winning dives and a few parking tickets.
Fulham – Fulham’s advantage of playing home games in the 1970s is likely to be of significant benefit this year due to the popular BBC series Life On Mars having finished, thereby preventing away teams from gaining access to any new acclimatisation material for their trip to Craven Cottage.
Prediction - 1973
Liverpool – There’s a real sense of anticipation in the air as supporters around the country look forward to watching carroll, adam, henderson etc play tippy tappy football. Liverpool fans are said to be dreading it however.
Prediction – Hoofie Goofies
Man City – Man City timed their title charge to perfection last season, skillfully going to the top of the table after Man United had already finished playing. Roberto Mancini has spent the summer trying to work out how it all happened. Expect little transfer window action as Mancini is planning on relying on the “no, you’re favourites” tactic to topple their intercity rivals once again.
Prediction – Mancini to retire from football and become a bookmaker.
Man Utd – After Paul Scholes' success last season, rumours are circulating that Fergie has convinced Eric Cantona to come out of retirement for one last hurrah. Cantona has rleased the following statement : “when ze skip, follows ze skip wagon, something has gone wrong with ze skip wagon”
Prediction – some injured fans
Newcastle – Newcastle are the only team in the premier league to still play in black and white. Rumour is that this is due to Mike Ashley not wanting to pay for a colour license. Ashley still won’t be giving funds to Alan Pardew out of the Andy Carroll transfer to Liverpool, as it is believed that he is attempting to use the money to fund the purchase of the entire city of Liverpool.
Prediction – Peter Beardsley
Norwich – Firm favourites once again for the title of Champions of East Anglia this season. There is talk of some dressing room unrest though as the new manager is planning on introducing a more multiculture mix to the dressing room. Some players are said to believe that he has taken things a step too far though with the signing of a player from neighbouring Lincolnshire.
Prediction – a complete white wash
