U tube hello

You might want to water that plant in your background, mate. Great recap though!

I think “total distance” is much more telling than number correct. The guy who got first, Matthew, was off by 34 places because he got a bunch of teams off by 5. JLA was only off 40 places despite having just 2 correct because the basic thought was spot on.

@Billiamwoods

I looked at my own predictions and I got 4 spot on, but that's really just luck because I saw the top 3 as cemented and I had Chelsea 6th which even now looking back I'm honestly surprised I got that. Getting the top 3 on the money was just a lucky guess honestly, I don't think it makes my prediction better than James's especially when his was so much more accurate and educated. My "total score" was 52 which is really good for me, but I still had Villa 9th, United 4th and Burnley 12th (me and James are twinsies) and inexplicably Palace 16th.

In statistical metrics, you'd probably do the square of the distance. It makes sense when you think about it: Having a big number in there should drag your score down even more. It also balances out lucky breaks (close table positions), because if you're in the area, the +1 doesn't hurt as much as if you're way off.

Actually saw United one coming. Never rated Onana since his Ajax days, It was him that gifted Spurs 2 goals. Also United was riding on Rashfords PR of goals, without him they would of been mid table.

Let me give you a hot scope here, I think the odds on Palace getting a young Swedish midfielder from Frankfurt is relatively low. I expect Glasner to go in for Hugo Larsson from his old team. The reasoning? It was his pick, he deemed the player crucial for the future of Eintracht. The new manager doesn't utilise the Swede at the same extent and hence I believe this to be a priority of Glasner for next season.

15% for me but so many within 1 I had Forest and Luton switched in my prediction

As a Palace fan I had predicted 14th too but what Glasner has done has been incredible. Would love to chat to you about Palace before the upcoming season

I know that nowadays fans really value the G/A per game or per 90. Which is fine from an individual player perspective / comparing to another. But if you try to flip the perspective to a coach / teams perspective I would argue that how many starts is also an important stat. You are reliable, the team (should) know your movements pretty good, and its up to the coach to change system, not because of injuries or suspensions. So would like to point out that (according to the stats) Watkins has made 37 STARTS(!) in the premier league, which is pretty insane. So yes, that my help his totalt G/A and damage his per 90. But dude, thats a really positive stat from a coach perspective.

the quality of managers currently in the prem, compared to 10 years ago, is incredible

I got 44 points and 15% of the league positions right, I'm pretty happy with that! There was a "second chance" at the predictions in Jan, I did it and I got 26 points and 40% of the positions right, much much better!

If Newcastle didnt have an inury crisis, like, crisis crisis (along with the tonali issues) they would've easily finished higher. Yes injuries are part of the game but you can't predict that. So yes, the stick you got for that prediction is just as valid as it was 9 months ago.

I knew everton was a bad shout from you, had them in 12th before the points deduction.

I love Ollie Watkins and think he's class, but the other HUGE difference between him and those around him is that he's played 3,000+ minutes. None of the others are coming very close to that. So it's great that he's able to keep fit, but it does skew the stats as well.

@@barrieroberts75 bro Burnley spent slightly over 100 million euros last summer and ended up with a team worse than what they had in the championship. They did the exact same thing fullham did in 18/19 where they entirely rebuilt the squad before the season and then they just got relegated after a shit season

On an unrelated note, arms are looking wham Jim

I got 6 correct and 4 teams 1 position off. 96th.

I had some great predictions but also a couple howlers. I thought Wolves would finish 19th, Villa would finish 11th (I thought Emery would put everything into winning silverware, either a conference league or a domestic cup) and Man Utd 3rd. However, my overall score was very good in my opinion, getting 38. I even got six clubs spot on: Sheffield United, Luton, Forest, Bournemouth, Palace and West Ham. Despite this, I don’t feel like my actual predictions were any good, I think I just got lucky lol. Thanks for telling me about the new app Jim! Edit: my rank was 533

Burnley fan here - IMO the problems from this season have mainly been caused during last summers transfer window. We had a few loan players leave who weren't replaced (Maatsen/ Tella), we failed to replace key senior players (Cork/ Barnes), we signed tons of attacking mid type players despite having no space for them in the squad (Tresor/ Ramsey). Kompany decided to have a bit of a rebuild over the summer which was both unnecessary and poorly executed. He inadvertently has destroyed the culture of the club - there aren't enough leaders in the squad plus there are rumours of cliques forming and players being unhappy about how the squad is being managed. Many fans feel that Kompany has spent 90 mil and made the squad worse than it was before. Hugely damaging season that will take a lot of work to undo.

Waiting for the West Ham video James

You were right about Newcastle, Jim, but I don't think it was for exactly the right reasons (although largely, to give you your flowers). Ultimately, we were only 8 points off 4th, and the number of wins that turned into draws, and draws into losses, because of the leakiness of our backline - after last season, none of us could have seen that coming. And yes, that was down to injuries ultimately, but it was the freak occurrences that did us in, not the regular muscular or impact ones. Pope in particular, doing in his shoulder, was season-defining, and with him instead of Dubravka, we'd have been up there at the end of the season.

I found my predictions, and I'm genuinely very happy with them except for two glaring errors - Bournemouth and Burnley. Got a distance of 38 in spite of those, but I'm more disappointed with the Bournemouth miss since I think everyone expected Burnley to do better.

Of Course the manager got dismissed right at the start and they brought in O'neil who did a fantastic job as expected. Wolves acted smart and avoided a bad season by not waiting half a year to move on from the manager and changed it right at the start.
