The year of the sporting drought breakers
« on: November 03, 2016, 04:40:40 PM »
Leicester City won the EPL earlier this year.

Bulldogs broke their 62 year premiership drought a month ago.

Now the Chicago Cubs have won the World Series for the first time in 108 years.

Incredible though when you think about it esp Leicester City. Those Americans though thought they were bloody cursed by a goat.  :lol

Back to the future were only a year off the right prediction.

It gives guys like me some hope that I might see 1 flag before I pass

By the way, Back to the Future II was only a year out with their CUBS prediction.

Yeah and they also predicted kids would be riding hover boards in 2015.
