Looking back at this makes interesting reading now. How much better to be a Reading or Southampton supporter, exceeding expectations, than a fan of Leicester.

Because I'm bored, below is how far off his predicted table was to the current table.

To be fair, he got a lot of teams in the right area, and he could be excused for not counting Portsmouth's 10 point deduction.

Glad to see he got ours wrong though

Leicester - Southampton -12
Nottingham Forest - Reading -8
Middlesbrough - West Ham -2
Blackpool - Brighton -3
West Ham - Middlesbrough +2
Cardiff - Birmingham -2
Brighton - Blackpool +3
Ipswich - Cardiff -8
Portsmouth - Hull -15
Reading - Leeds +8
Leeds - Crystal Palace +1
Derby - Derby 0
Southampton - Leicester +12
Burnley - Watford +1
Birmingham - Burnley +9
Hull - Ipswich +7
Watford - Peterborough +3
Crystal Palace - Barnsley +7
Barnsley - Millwall +1
Bristol City - Nottingham Forest -1
Millwall - Bristol City +2
Doncaster - Coventry -1
Coventry - Doncaster +1
Peterborough - Portsmouth +7

*The higher the number, the worse his prediction if you didn't work that out

Interesting to see Leicester and Southampton exactly the wrong way round.

Except I don't need to change the font 4 different times and underline pointless information

It's also easy to understand.

The orange text is a tad hard to read though, if I am going to nit pick .......



Should probably have been size 200, bold and underlined tbh ...

[SLAMMED]

I'm still learning

SLAMMERS and Snowballers in a few years .....

I was but a learner, now I am the master ...... of STATISTICS

It's SLAMMED's table 1871, if you don't like it then don't read it. You know how discussion forums work.

Anyway, this was a VG prediction from the Telegraph, however it would have been even BETTER if certain teams were higher, and certain other teams were lower.

There's a tap-in hidden amongst that post

[SLAMMED]

It was a deliberately short backpass to my own goalkeeper.
