Another year of Paul Merson's predictions has nearly come and gone, but how has he fared?
Each week, the Sky Sports pundit stirs up plenty of discussion with his tips, whether he's predicting another Stoke home win, comparing a team to a bag of Revels or analysing a foreign import that has "settled quicker than snow".
Let's re-live some of his best and worst shouts of 2017.....
The good...
Tottenham v Everton, March 5
MERSE SAID: "There will be goals as both teams are excellent going forward and the defences will not be able to live with the attacking quality both sides have. And I think Spurs, who are unbeaten in 13 home games in the league, will come out on top for a ninth straight win at White Hart Lane in the Premier League. They'll win 3-2."
Result: Harry Kane scored twice as Tottenham beat Everton 3-2 in an entertaining Premier League encounter. The correct score was a 33/1 shot.
Chelsea v Arsenal, February 4
MERSE SAID: "I just can't make a case for Arsenal here. Chelsea are running away with the league and I think they'll claim a comprehensive victory. I think 3-1. My key man? I'll go Eden Hazard. He's the one I think will make the difference because Arsenal won't deal with him like they should, with lots of bodies around him."
Result: Chelsea won 3-1, with Hazard scoring one of the goals of the season.
Crystal Palace v Stoke, November 25
MERSE SAID: "I'm going to go for Palace in this one. They're dangerous at set plays and will win 2-1."
Result: Centre-back Mamadou Sakho was quickest to react in injury-time to give Crystal Palace a 2-1 win.
Chelsea v Manchester United, November 6
MERSE SAID: "I think there will be just one goal in this. I am going to go 1-0 Chelsea as I just think United are going to go for it and Chelsea will just make a chance or two before the end of the game."
Result: Alvaro Morata's second-half header sealed a 1-0 win for Chelsea.
The bad...
Manchester City v Manchester United, April 28
MERSE SAID: "With both teams needing all three points, I see this being a gung-ho encounter with plenty of goals. I'm going for 3-3."
Result: The game offered little in terms of action and finished 0-0.
Burnley v Arsenal, November 27
MERSE SAID: "If Arsene Wenger's side don't turn up, they won't grind out a 1-0 win."
Result: Arsenal struggled to create many chances but ground out a 1-0 win.
Crystal Palace v Swansea, January 3
MERSE SAID: "Swansea are not going to stay up. Paul Clement is a good man and a good coach, but that appointment suggests to me that they are looking at the bigger picture. If they wanted to spend six months fighting to stay up, then go and get Harry Redknapp. I think Palace are a certainty."
Result: Substitute Angel Rangel struck a late winner for Swansea as they won 2-1 at their relegation rivals. They also stayed up.
The good...
January 6: Who will win the Premier League?
MERSE SAID: "I still think Chelsea will win the league. I went for them at the start of the season and they've got the massive advantage of only playing once a week."
Result: Chelsea clinched the Premier League title with two games to spare.
July 25: Who will win the Premier League?
MERSE SAID: "Man City will win the Premier League. Going forward they are very strong, and they have bought players at the back. Pep Guardiola has bought well, bought a lot of pace in the team at the back, including Kyle Walker."
Result: At the time of writing, Manchester City are now 1/33 for the title after the best ever start to a Premier League season.
The bad...
February 12: Who is going down?
MERSE SAID: "I said it a few weeks ago and I'll say it again, Leicester are going to get relegated. The biggest story in football history is going to turn into the biggest embarrassment in football history."
Result: Leicester survived with plenty to spare, finishing 10 points clear of relegation.
May 21: How will Burnley get on next season?
MERSE SAID: "Burnley have got to be careful next year. If they don't have as good of a home record as they have done next season and they don't sort out their away form, I think they could struggle."
Result: At the time of writing, Burnley are challenging for the Champions League places, and are 500/1 to go down.
