Just did a premier league predictor on BBC - these were the results.
Man Utd to win the title
Top 5 to look like this
Man Utd - 79pts
Arsenal - 78 pts
Chelsea - 73 pts
Tottenham 65 pts
Man City - 63 pts
Fulham come in at 9th with 47pts
Relegated are...
18th West Ham - 40 pts
19th Wigan - 38 pts
20th Blackburn - 35 pts
Newcastle and West Brom just missing out on relegation by getting 41 pts.
Results I gave Fulham to reach that total were
Fulham 2 - 0 Blackburn
Everton 1 - 1 Fulham
Fulham 1 - 0 Blackpool
Man Utd 2 - 0 Fulham
Fulham 2 - 1 Bolton
Wolves 2 - 1 Fulham
Sunderland 2 - 2 Fulham
Fulham 1 - 1 Liverpool
Birmingham 1 - 0 Fulham
Fulham 2 - 1 Arsenal
What do you think?
I think it is very possible we could have a run of play like your predictions assuming we don't suddenly lose form and there are no major injuries. Seems very doable.
9th would be a nice finish considering our first half.
We won't even come close.
47 points and beating Arsenal? Yeah right, send me some of the stuff you have been smoking.
9th sounds optimistic, but looking at your individual predictions, they seem achievable. Beat Arsenal at the Cottage - doesn't sound impossible at all. We are playing really well, Bobby on the verge, Arsenal notoriously inconsistent. When I did the predictor I had us finishing 11th.
I don't think Blackburn will go down...
I also did Predictor last night and had us 9th on 45 points. Wigan and West Brom were only on 34/35 points and Blackburn went down with 38.
Mind you I did it 2 weeks ago and relegated Bolton.
I'd be surprised if Man Utd only gained 19 points from the last 11 matches.
Lot of people (well two) saying Blackburn will go, whereas I'm thinking Blackpool are more likely. I didn't see any of it but to concede 4 to Wolves - how poo must you be?

That's a good point. Or they could have just had a really bad game.

They had a man sent off at 1-0 though
Blackpool beat Spurs.
They do seem to have the knack of producing the odd surprise.
I still reckon West Brom and Wigan are gone. Any of the teams on 32 or 33 points could manage only 6 or 7 points from 10 games and find themselves down.
Us included of course but I think we're better than that.
West Ham and Wolves are improving. Birmingham too good with games in hand.
I think it could easily be Blackburn or Blackpool for the last relegation place and my hunch is Blackburn. Steve Kean ffs.
Blackpool are sh*t away

Yep. Just the 5 away wins. Compared to ManUs 4.
I just relegated West Brom, Wolves and Wigan - we just avoided relegation and West Ham came 9th!!
It does show me that we need to win our home games against Bolton, Blackburn and Blackpool as we won't get much away or at home against Arsenal / Liverpool...

LOL resemble any other team you know :022:
I think we'll finish with 42 or 43 points which will put us somewhere between 13th-15th place. We'll have another scare before the end of the season where we're not too far off the danger zone because of a string of draws and an occasional defeat.

I can see this happening - the scare will come after we unexpectedly lose/draw to Bolton at home, with people starting to get really worried.
Lets be honest...
This is the tightest it has been for years.
Anyone can beat anyone, and have been.
3 or 4 wins on the trot and we're challenging for Europe.
3 or 4 losses on the trot and we're in the bottom 3.
Impossible to predict what the end of the season will look like. On current form you would have to bet on Blackpool and Blackburn going down. But there's plenty of games yet for things to change.
So long as we keep our recent home form intact, and continue to be competitive away, then we should be good.

Trust me, Liverpool are very beatable at the Cottage just as West Ham showed us yesterday. They are nothing without Torres and shouldn't be feared in the slightest. They got away beating us 1-0 at their gaff with the oddest of goals but down here under the Mark Hughes, we'll bull-dozer them.

I would love to beat them. They went on a roll due to some luck and easy fixtures but their non performances in europe and their loss yest shows what a mediocre team they really are. Hopefully we can beat them for Roy
I did it this week-end also, got the same top 5, relegated, Wolves instead of west ham, other 2 the same and Fulham 9th also!!! :clap_hands:
Had Fulham at #11
Wolves, Wigan, West Brom relegated with West Ham being #17.
#1 ManUtd, #2 Arsenal, #3 ManCity, #4 Chelscum, #5 Spuds.

4 of Man Utd's 11 remaining premiership games are against Chelsea x2, Arsenal and Liverpool.
They also have games against Bolton at Old Trafford, West Ham at Upton park - (if they're in the form where they beat liverpool then anything's possible), Newcastle at Newcastle and an increasingly difficult game at Everton.

I don't think we will get anything at Everton (we never seem to) and beating Arsenal will depend upon what else they are playing for at that point but under normal circumstances it will be a bit too much to ask for. Let's hope that we go into that game not needing anything...

That is what Finnster thought to about Everton. You two are probably right however I just feel Everton are not having the blazing second half they traditionally seem to have and they don't seem so threatening. It goes without saying we will have to play well to beat them. I guess I am the sort that thinks, now's the time and since we haven't really ever got much out of them up there, we are due....especially given we have some quality in the squad and are playing better. Wishful thinking perhaps. :dft012:
Really hope you are right and I am wrong...

Heres what I got when doing it:
Team P GD PTS
1 Man U 38 49 89
2 Arsenal 38 40 79
3 Chavs 38 41 76
4 Citeh 38 28 71
5 Spuds 38 14 67
6 Pool 38 4 56
7 Sunderland 38 -3 51
8 Villa 38 -9 50
9 Everton 38 -3 45
10 Blackpool 38 -16 45
11 FULHAM 38 0 44
12 N'castle 38 -2 44
13 Stoke 38 -9 44
14 Brum 38 -11 44
15 Bolton 38 -6 43
16 Wet Spam 38 -17 42
17 Blackburn 38 -19 39
18 Wolves 38 -19 37
19 West Brom 38 -28 32
20 Wigan 38 -34 29
Looking at it, I may have been a bit unfair on Bolton, and a bit too generous to Everton and Villa.
Sorry for the rubbish formatting!!
