Okay so 12th might not be 4th or even 5th but at least it guarantees Premier League football next season. How did I arrive at this conclusion? Well, without a working crystal ball I've used this season's scores with last season's results for unplayed games. It's something I've done for the last few years and has proved pretty reliable at showing who's likely to do well and who's likely to get relegated. You can see the stats for Spurs and everybody else at prem38.com (and yes, that is a plug for my website but it is completely non-commercial - there aren't even any Google ads!). I'm just pleased with myself for managing to get the thing up and running at long last and hoping some of you might find it interesting.
What I find interesting about looking at the table in this way is that Newcastle (currently relegation fodder) are actually 1pt better off this season than from the same fixtures last year. Okay, that places them 11th at the end of the season but just shows that as long as they do as well in their remaining fixtures as they did last season, they'll be okay. Of course, I'm hoping we'll be taking 6 points off them this year rather than the other way round.
And how were we doing when Ramos was in charge? Well, after the Stoke debacle, the prem38 table showed us likely to finish 19th. Suddenly, 12th doesn't seem so bad!
Cheers,
GM.
