They aren't predictions as such are they? They are statistical analysis and then the headlines of that analysis is a predicted league table based on stats. Now by the same token that Rob et al think they could predict the top two the stats cant come up with anything much different given it has been so for the last 10 years or so!

Guy, you don't need to be a genius to predict the top 5 of the Premier on the basis of weekly scores. Amateur, as I am, I am about to place a bet on "any 5 from 8". No science, no methodology, as such, just a glance at the likely squads and comparisons with the remainder. Now, ask me to predict the actual placings and I would be taking a wild guess. However, if someone paid me for my "opinion", I would gamble on the proviso it was a flexible and an ongoing "opinion" based on results and "possible" trends. If your friend was anywhere near accurate surely fortunes would be made on backing the predictions. I think not! At this moment, to predict LU as 19th at the finish is as safe as houses. Should LU win their next 3 matches where would that put them ? Just out of interest, where did your friend predict Millwall at midnight last Friday ? Anyhow, good to see you back in "harness / action". I hope you have recovered from all your misfortunes. Regards, Michael (D's D) Quote from Guy If we look at the Premier League for this season, we predicted a two horse race and nothing has happened to change this. The likelihood of winning the title is shown in the graph below which has been plotted since the beginning of August. United went above Chelsea when they beat them in the Community Shield but dropped back below after last weekend's draw at Fulham.
