End of season predictor...

[Ads]

If Saturday is the new benchmark, then can somebody give me a good reason why we cannot go to Old Trafford and get a good result? Its not just Liverpool going there and battering them, but the likes of Fulham getting a point, West Brom and Newcastle beating them too. They really are an upper mid-table side.

These predictors can't distinguish between bollix and gonads.

I predict that we will lose at least one game we are expected to win, and vice versa. Finish champions of the bottom half of the table.

Winning on Sunday is very important. Do that and we have the momentum and confidence to go on and finish very strongly. Lets not let another end to the season be spoiled by the turd that wont flush from 40 miles up the road.

There's a faint possibility we could end up adding an extra 21-22 points by the end of the season if the Chelsea game raises the team's belief and confidence.......Old Trafford win by 3 goals anyone?

At least three. No point in going easy on them.

[Brend'Watkins]

Surely a result like Saturday's emphasises the futility of these predictor things.

Where Villa are concerned yes that's always the case.  Everyone else it applies.

I want Fulham to stay up.

Had us 11th on 43 pts. I'd take that. Wages down, points up, goal difference up, position up. A decent season.

Norwich, Palace and Cardiff to go down.

If Swansea hadn't have lain back and thought of Snowdon on Saturday afternoon, I think the Tescos would have dropped this season. That win keeps them up for me, unfortunately.

Agreed, I think many of us predicted something similar at the start of the season and I'm absolutely fine with that. Lambert's had to gut and re-build this team, so for his first two seasons to be avoiding relegation, followed by a solid mid-table finish, we're heading in the right direction.

I've just done the predictor for the second time this season. Last time I had us 11th with 43pts , this time (filled with confidence from Saturday) I have us tenth with 48. Again I had City as champions but only a point ahead of Chelsea and 4 ahead of Liverpool. Although I tip Norwich to go down with Fulham and Cardiff, for the second time my predictor replaces them with Palace. Also for the second time Hull get sucked into trouble.

[supertom]

10th on 49 points.

City to win the title with Liverpool 2nd, and Chelsea 3rd, both 2 points behind City.

West Brom, Norwich and Cardiff to go down.

[ozzjim]

10th on 44-46 for me. Couple of results I was torn on, but essentially a decent spot to be. If we got to 46 then that would be the same as the Houllier season when we still had Downing playing brilliantly for us and Young on the other side, plus a much more experienced midfield and back 4, so would be a pretty decent finish.

It all makes this summer vitally important to build on it with 3-4 really good players. not 8-9 punts. 3-4 quality additions, plus Bertie long term!

Delph and Vlaar are the most important thing though.

We are terrified of Manure, for no great reason. At Villa Park every time Rooney touched the ball our players visibly shrank away from him. They haven't got a very good team, apart from up front, but you know we'll bottle it. Strangely we never seem worried about Chelsea.

[ADVILLAFAN]

West Ham have the toughest fixtures on paper I'd say, Norwich desperately need some points before their final 4 league games.

Ours aren't too bad, a win at home to either Stoke, Fulham, or Hull should see us safe.

[Shrek]

If we beat Stoke, that will be 3 wins on the bounce and 4 wins from our last 5 home games.

That should hopefully help us build momentum for the remainder of the campaign and for start of next season.

I for one am just glad we can relax a little now regarding relegation and enjoy the games a bit more.  UTV.
