The most bizarre thing about Lwaro's predictions is that he's still clinging on to 4th in our own All Teams Prediction League! So...are we all even more clueless than Lawro?!
Leicester, Watford and West Ham below Newcastle and Sunderland? At least he realised that Villa are utter ****e, though they've been a little better than he's given them credit for. Arsenal and Liverpool being unbeaten and Chelsea only losing one game is quite amusing, though. Does he just look up the bookies odds and go with them?
He does well because he is very conservative in his predictions. Always has the favourite winning, always has 3 or less goals. If you get 2 or 3 spot on you will do well in that sort of league. Also many of us post what we want to happen (NKNG, I'm talking to you here ). Always see when we are 2 points behind a team that many predict them to lose and us to to win whatever the fixtures.
Both. They're going to draw with each other when they play and end up on exactly the same GD, GS, etc. Then everyone else will congratulate them and they'll split the title. Forever.
It comes as no surprise that after the crazy season we've just witnessed, the vast majority of our predictions were way off the mark. Interesting to note how many correctly predicted the final places of Norwich and Arsenal Special mentions to @Spurf and the almost identical @Spurfect for gaining the joint most points with 3 correct predictions each. Also @No Kane No Gain deserves a shout out as the only entrant to correctly predict that Spurs would find a way to c*ck it up and finish 3rd. We all laughed at PowerSpurs for predicting Spurs to finish 2nd, and...well...we were right Anyways, we suffer the collective humiliation of being beaten by the one and only Mr Phil McSmugly, who incredibly - despite predicting Leicester to go down, still picked up 4 correct predictions. Thanks to all those who participated
Think I prefer my table tbh I expected so little of Liverpool and Everton yet they still let me down. Bloody Scousers!
Norwich got a few people some points, including me. I doubt many people had them staying up though, even if they weren't right about their exact place.
The 'tached fool only managed to get 3 right: Arsenal, Southampton and Norwich, despite as you say being able to track results week by week rather than making a one-off prediction. I am grudgingly impressed by McNulty tbh; West Brom and B'mouth were big calls, especially the latter as many had them down somewhere in the dropzone. It really was a bizarre season - just utterly unpredictable. The guy who won it at the office got a record-low 6 teams correct for a total of 30 points (the winner usually crosses the 50 mark, although that is unquestionably due to the fact that the top 4 bonus is very easy to pick up).
