There have been some great soothsayers in history.
Nostradamus. Russell Grant. Mystic Meg.
But is Neil Boland the greatest of them all? A tweet from almost three years ago from the man who’s Twitter bio reads simply “meh” has resurfaced today – after his spookily accurate prediction came to pass.
Back in 2013 David Moyes was Manchester United manager. And in a bleak season for the reigning champions there was one ray of hope: Moysey had plucked Adnan Januzaj from academy obscurity and on his first start for the club he bagged two goals as United came from behind to beat Sunderland 2-1.
The club, fearful of losing their new prospect for a small compensation fee, responded by handing the youngster a five year contract.
Enter Neil Boland:

Of course Neil’s prediction came true this week – a full two years early – with Januzaj’s loan move to Sunderland.
So HOW DID HE KNOW? It’s a mystery.
And now people are asking The Great Boland for some more insights.
First there’s the obvious:

Some people are a little unsettled by his skills:

But what will become of United’s newest signing, Neil?

Some are perhaps taking things a little too far:
@Goonerette_7 should I seek happiness with a new love or should I stick with my wife?
