    If anything my downfall this season has been too lenient on Liverpool. I mean to think Liverpool would only lose 3-0 at Stoke after we had, madness!


    Bring it on next year <ok>

    Thanks for doing this, SD- it's good fun.

    As well as Rebel does each year, his total equates to a score of less than 8/30 each round of fixtures and he is only around a point or less better each week than any in the top division. It shows how tough it is to predict results correctly and how fine the margins are.

    I wonder what tactics people employ? How many play the percentages and pick wins for the higher ranked teams by standard scores - 1-0, 2-1, 2-0 etc? How many look at each fixture individually and assess form, trends, exceptional factors which might have a bearing on results (returning from EL trips to eastern Europe, injuries, suspensions, changes of manager etc) or just follow instinct - like taking a punt that Arsenal will slip up at home to Swansea or Utd to WBA etc?

    Incidentally, backing Chelsea to win every game 2-0 would have scored you 40 points alone. QPR to lose every game 2-1 scores even more - 42! Spurs to win 2-1, 35 points, Hull to lose 1-0 also 35, Arsenal to win 2-1, 34 points.......5 teams, 186 points! (although you couldn't predict two teams to win 2-1 when they played each other, obvs) <ok>

    I'm quite pissed off that I couldn't beat that twat Lawro.
    He's probably done a runner after yesterday's Liverpool result though, so there's that.

    Thanks again for doing this, SD. <ok>
    Nice to see people sticking with it all season, too.
    Congratulations to Rebel and I hope you haven't been banned from too many bookies.

    You forget that "edges mods in the prediction league" is perfectly legitimate grounds for banning.

    The only one I participated in, the World Cup prediction group, I went for what I thought was the percentage approach, picking the favorites by what I thought was the most typical score. I burst out to a lead based on what I think was my closer tracking of world football, but was found out in the end, when teams' actual performance made their strength clearer. An alternative explanation is that I simply underestimated the likelihood of draws, and didn't anticipate until it was too late that later rounds would have lower scoring games.

    You should have corrected it to something worse, like Totnum

    <grr>. Don't give him ideas. There is nothing wrong with my spelling of Tottenham, only my ability to transfer it to my fingers.

    I'd have to realise that they were insulting me so it might be less than you'd think :D

    You guys need to compete more for having the best prediction league on the board. A big cash prize for anyone in the top 18, perhaps.
