Sporting'intelligence' have us rated as finishing at 19th! They base their 'method' on a system where they weigh up the number of times a club has been in the top flight/Prem. They obviously ignore the calibre of the teams in the Championship this year (except they allow for Lesta's big spend). Wonderful! Let's show 'em...starting tomorrow. http://www.sportingintelligence.com...pedigree-leicester-and-forest-chasing-040801/
That is by far the worst prediction/daft system prediction of the league so far. They should change their name to Lack of Sporting Intelligence.
That's horrendous. Brighton in 21st, City in 19th, Coventry 9th (they'll go down IMO) and Leeds top 2?! The points system they use just doesn't make sense
this made me laugh so much, just because a team hasn't been in the top flight much they should be favorites to go down, Swansea went up last year, We did a few years ago, Blackpool did recently, i know some clubs have dropped down then gone back again but to predict your not going up because of your PAST is ridiculous
well based on that, half the PL teams now should not be there. ridiculous table with basis of logic either.
did you know that the success rate for a team getting relegated from the Premiership and then immediately promoted is less than 25%? Over 3/4 of the teams that come down do not go straight back up. And over half the teams that get promoted stay up for more than 1 season. The Championship is a tough league and I am looking forward to tomorrow.
And they call themselves intelligence!? L**ds 2nd? give me a break, huddersfield have a better chance of 2nd place!
A table that sees Leeds get promoted, Coventry and Derby to finish above us and Reading to get relegated is the biggest pile of ****e I have ever seen.
I dropped them a line to tell them this article was bollocks, they got a bit upset, called me thick, stupid, ignorant and cowardly. I think the site's run by a ten year old. A bit of a slow one. Poor lad.
Anything pure stats based has to be taken with a pinch of salt, after all there are damn lies and then there are statistics!
OLM some people just can't take constructive criticism can they?? And how is it cowardly to contact them to say that their article was bollox?
Surely they'd at least admit that the stats don't tell the story and is an inaccurate way of predicting the table? Otherwise nobody new would ever get promoted to the PL eg Us, Stoke, Blackpool, Swansea etc If i recieved your letter i'd have told you to take the prediction with a pinch of salt and that we're well aware of the flaws about using the past to measure the future. What a numpty
