So the domestic season has drawn to a close and nothing remains but the lower division play-offs and the small matter of the World Cup.
This week, the team turn their gaze on all and sundry in a desperate attempt to recover a rapidly diminishing reputation.
Stephen Bush: England to beat Mexico 3-0
»9/1
With the quality of players in the England team, with the likes of King, Defoe, Huddlestone and Lennon, expect Mexico to recieve a thrashing compelled by a Spurs surge.
Steve Dempsey: Klitschko to beat Sosnowski in rounds 7-9
»11/4
This will be brutal. A dead cert and probably a dead Sosnowski as well.
Sam Rabinowitz: Swindon to beat Millwall at Wembley
»5/4
An important game for both teams striving for the Championship. God will intervene and save the higher tier from the plight of Millwall and the Den.
Steve Dempsey: Lance Armstrong to win the Tour de France
» 8/1
Another year, another drugs scandal in cycling, but don’t expect Lance to take his eye off the ball, even after a tumble in the Tour de California.
Holly McCluskey: Schumacher to win Turkish Grand Prix
»33/1
He’s been warming up so far this season, and I tip him to retake his former glory in Turkey.
