As we get towards the business end of the season (the last ten games), it felt appropriate to check in on the predictions I made at the start of the season.
Most of my predictions did not involve specific finishing places but highlighted the teams that would finish in each of the key categories. Minutes before most teams kick off their 28th round of games and a handful of others go through their 27th round of fixtures, this is how I am fairing based on current league standings. Champions League – 3 of 4, Europa – 1 of 3, Top half – 0 of 3, No Man’s Land – 4 of 7 and Relegation – 2 of 3. This gives an accuracy of just 50% to highlight how unpredictable the league has been so far.
My predictions about Newcastle, Aston Villa and the last 3 teams that should make the top half of the table seem to be most wide off the mark! Go ahead and test your predicting ability this week before most teams embark on the season’s last 10 rounds of games. We shall check in at the end of the season to determine who our “Predictions Champion” is.
That you have been given the advantage of watching at least 28 rounds of games making your predictions, at the minimum you should beat my prediction score! In case of a percentage tie, we shall look at actual team placement to award 3 points for a team finishes in the exact position you place it in the table format below, and 1 point for finishing in the correct award category i.e. Champions League, Europa, Top Half, No Man’s Land and Relegation. Your predictions must be placed before 2359 GMT on Thursday March 3, 2011 to be eligible.
Good luck!
