Ah, Colin. The doyenne of Twitter 'in the knows'. He's the man who started the craze, the man who collected a few thousands followers thanks to not so cryptic tweets regarding who he was told was about to arrive on Tyneside and inspired a generation to follow suit. For that, I must raise a glass to him because without him this blog would not exist. However his longevity makes him the ultimate pain in the arse as accuracy is not the measure of a good ITK amongst the unwashed, the length of time you've managed to fool the reams of fuckwits is.

Colin doesn't take criticism of his info too well. Anyone who pulls him up on his many inaccurate predictions is blocked. Bizarre, considering Mr. W's cocksure demeanor. Surely it would be much more satisfying to keep those who abused you at arm's length, so you could grab them by the lapels and scream "FUKING OWNED!" when you're proven correct... or maybe that's just me.

I've never been one to work in chronological order, so lets start in the here and now. We can analyse Colin's earlier predictions at a later date.

    Barton won't be leaving (22 May)
