Despite absolutely no public outcry at its absence last season RAA returns giving everyone (or at least the four people who don't have me filtered and haven't left the site) their opportunity to predict the season ahead.
As usual the more outlandish and unlikely your prediction the more coveted RAA points you will pick up if you are RAA*
WOLVES
Early season optimism will begin to fade as after ten games we drop out of the top six for the first time since the opening weekend.
By the half way point we will be five points off top 6 and ten points off automatic promotion.
For the first time in his career Kenny Jackett will have to face real pressure from unhappy fans but a fluky 1-0 win over 4th placed Ipswich buys the beleaguered boss more time.
December will see a return to training for Boukari (injured in the warm up at Blackburn on the opening day) and mean we no longer need to sign a winger and can instead concentrate on bringing in a new striker to supplement the struggling Dicko & Afobe who just get to double figures between them as the new year arrives.
Despite being linked to a number of players in the January window (including shock reports that Jackett has spoken to Andy Keogh about returning to the club) our business is limited to two signings, both midfield players, both just turned 20, both players we have never heard of, both go into the under 21s and are never heard of again. Razak Boukari break down again on 1st Feb while running in straight lines.
With any hope of a playoff place almost gone the team begin to play with some freedom and end the season a creditable 8th on just short of 70 points.
Player of the Season:
Kortney Hause, after being given the CB slot following Danny Batth's lengthy ban for inappropriate betting activity Hause keeps the shirt and ends up Player's and Fan's Player of the season.
Honourable Mention:
Michael Jacobs, the only ever present of the season after replacing Boukari a few minutes before kick off on the first day of the season.
Flop of the Season:
Benik Afobe, drops the Benik and insists on being called "The 'Fobe" by all at the club. A series of high profile kiss and tell stories including one involving infamous Speedo wearer Tom Daley distracts from his on field activities and sees him score more often in dodgy nightclubs than on the pitch.
Dishonourable Mention:
Kevin McDonald, after finding God in a kebab shop while on a night out in Pleck the talented midfielder refuses to train on play again on a Sunday limiting his opportunities for the rest of the season.
NONE_WOLVES
Unemployment rate rises by two in Liverpool as both red scouse and blue scouse managers are sacked before Christmas.
Tony Pulis sacked after ten games with Albion pointless and rooted to the foot of the table, new manager Sam Allardyce leads them on an impressive run that sees them escape on the final day of the season.
Villa's season falls to pieces as Sherwood loses is voice permanently and can no longer get his point across by shouting and has to rely on just looking angry all the time, further bad news follows as Jack Grealish is found in a skip suffering from alcohol poisoning and has to have his stomach pumped.
Leicester never trouble the top 10 and Arro is never heard from again.
RAA, RAA, RAA!

There's a heat wave coming to the uk gem so you will be fine. But also storms and I understand North Sea storms are livelier than most

I had better back this up and state, therefore, that my RAA prediction is that Wallace will be a revelation with RVLP also named in despatches
.......................................
no better sign of a desperate man than one who pins his hopes on rvlp
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There certainly is.....some a pinning their hopes on Boukari being fit

How's everyone doing? Anyone want to claim any points yet? Or maybe just laugh at how far out some on 'ere were?
Stand out post for me so far......
"Revelation of the year will be Razak Boukari playing on the right wing opposite his big buddy Bakari Sako who decides there is nowhere he would rather be than with his pals Dicko and Boukari."

I knew I shouldn't let my optimism get the better of me re Boukari.
Said he would be injured before the season started, and wouldn't play this season but blew it by thinking he might have a short period where he actually trained
posted on 10/11/15
Oh he did actually train, hell he even had a brilliant 25 minutes for the under 21s before the horror tackle.
Siggy did the same last night, minus the horror tackle.

I had him be injured just before the season started, be back in training in January and then injured again just as the window closed.
Close but no RAA due to my ridiculous optimism

We'll start well and everyone will hope and expect us to get promoted or at least make the play-offs. Our strikers struggle to score goals
but Kenny knows best, bringing in loan players with funny sounding names. Le Fondre, Ojo, Martinez
We'll get battered in November and everyone will say that our chances to get promoted have gone.
Jez continues to do whatever he actually does.
